The inhalable particles from vehicle exhaust can cause DNA damage to exposed organisms. Research on DNA damage is primarily focused on the influence of specific pollutants on certain species or the effect of environmental pollution on human beings. To date, little research has quantitatively studied the relationship between roadside pollution and DNA damage. Based on an investigation of the roa...

Moose (Alces americanus ) vehicle collisions (MVCs) are an issue throughout the distribution of moose. Many mitigation strategies have been tested and implemented to reduce the number of MVCs, but there have been few empirical analyses of the effectiveness of roadside vegetation cutting. The goal of this study was to determine if roadside vegetation cutting attracted moose into roadside areas t...

BACKGROUND Many argue that prohibition creates more troubles than alternative policies, but fewer than half of American voters support a taxed and regulated market for cannabis. Some oppose a regulated market because of concerns about driving after smoking cannabis. Although a roadside sobriety test for impairment exists, few voters know about it. The widespread use of a roadside sobriety test ...

Communication between vehicles is a very promising technology to reduce fatalities and injuries in road traffic. Vehicles spontaneously form communication networks where they exchange messages to warn surrounding vehicles. Theoretically, this system is open to any communication node that is equipped with the required communication technology. This openness demands appropriate security mechanism...

This paper reports on a study that formed part of a Europe-wide investigation of the impact drugs, medications and medical conditions have on road safety (the IMMORTAL project) (Impaired Motorists, Methods of Roadside Testing and Assessment for Licensing). This larger research programme is investigating the accident risk associated with different forms of driver impairment and the implication f...

ABSTRACT – Inter-vehicle and vehicle to roadside communication (V2X communication) allow both passenger safety and driving comfort to be improved significantly. For example, a vehicle detecting an icy road could inform following vehicles and thereby prevent accidents. Vehicle to roadside communication could be used near construction sites to warn the vehicle driver about reduced number of lanes...

Background: Haematotoxicity occurs following acute and chronic low dose exposures to lead. This study aimed to assess the association between occupational lead exposure and haematological parameters among roadside and organized panel beaters in Enugu Metropolis, Nigeria, 2018-19.  Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and analytical study of 428 roadside and organized panel beaters...

background: gasoline station workers are exposed to volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (btex). objectives: to determine the level of exposure to btex compounds among gasoline station workers and measure the roadside concentrations of these compounds in the inner and outer areas of bangkok, thailand. methods: 49 workers at 6 gasoline stations in the inne...

foliar surface of plants is continuously exposed to the surrounding atmosphere and is, therefore, the main receptor of particulate pollutants. this physical trait can be used to determine the level of particulate pollution in the surroundings, as well as the ability of individual plant species to intercept and mitigate particulate pollutants. in the present study, leaf cuticle characters of fou...

this paper discusses the importance of environmental aesthetics and scenic beauty of currentroadside vegetation in the highways, and the necessity for the contribution of users (motorists) preferences inthe integration of scenic beauty of roadside vegetation into its management plans. the results of a questionnairesurvey of motorist’s opinion on the landscape aesthetics and quality of some high...
