Indoor air pollution, specifically restricted in its meaning to chemicals in home indoor air environment, presents a new and probably an important challenge to the researchers of the air pollution field. The general overview of this topic suggests that the voluminous data generated in the past ten or so years have only defined the rudiments of the problem, and significant areas of research stil...

among human activities, motor vehicles play the most important role in air pollution. air pollution has negative impacts on people and on the environment. in this paper the effect of oxygen-enriched air (20.8%, 21.8%, 22.8%, 23.8% and 24.8%) and different bioethanol-gasoline blends (zero, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%) in different engine speeds (1000 rpm, 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm) on the amount of po...

Commercial air travel is one of the safest means of transport. However, the environment within the aircraft cabin may have deleterious physiological effects on passengers, especially those with underlying medical problems and those who are old. With growing affluence, cheaper airfares and an ageing population, there will be more older people travelling by air over extended periods and longer di...

The likelihood of an epidemiologic study correctly identifying an adverse health outcome associated with exposure to indoor air pollutants is increased if a) substantial variation exists in the frequency or level of exposure among study subjects otherwise at similar risk of the health outcome; b) the number of study subjects or study communities is large; c) the health outcome can be assessed w...

In the paper, we present the methodology of construction and interpretation of the models, which consider effects of air pollution, and also their applications. The study of air-pollution health effects is a very important component in estimating health risk of air pollution and improving environmental quality. On other hand, such study is very complicated because of complexity of factors invol...

abstract efficiency concept has a long history in the sciences and its measurement and analysis is a vital importance for firms to achieve the best performance. hence, the aim of this paper is efficiency evaluation of mahan air compared to iata member airlines in middle east and africa. for this purpose, the indicators include available ton kilometer, revenue ton kilometer, revenue passenger ki...

today there are different vibration isolators used in industries according to the weight and excitation frequency of the machines which have vibration. one of them is air spring which is in two types: convoluted air spring and membrane air spring. convoluted air springs are used to control vibrations in low frequency (usually lower than 10 hz) and the membrane ones are used in high frequency (u...

swelling urban populations and increasing number of industry and especially automobiles in and around cities have resulted in adverse effect on human health. one of the most important things regarding air pollution in these days is that the number of motor vehicles has increased, and the resulting problems of new types of air pollution on large scale need to be emphasized in large cities.the gr...
