materials and methods in the first stage, no2 pollutant concentrations were measured using the data collected from air pollution monitoring stations. sampling was performed in six stations. the chosen stations have been based on the us environmental protection agency (epa) standards. in the next step, the data were processed using excel software and information was given to the airq model. data...

Tropospheric ozone is the second most important atmospheric pollutant after particulate matter with respect to its impact on human health and is increasing of its concentrations globally. The main objective of this study was to assess of health effects attributable to ground-level ozone (O3) in Kermanshah, Iran using one-hour O3 concentrations measured between March 2014 and March 2015. The Air...

Background: The aim of study is to compare I-gel and Air-Q supraglottic airways in terms of success rate of device insertion, number of attempts taken, haemodynamic parameters before and after device insertion, incidence of trauma and postoperative sore throat, dysphagia. Methods: This randomised single blind study was conducted on 90 patients of age 18-60 years, undergoing elective surgery req...

Fifteen cities across the world have been selected to investigate public health co-benefits of PM2.5 reduction, during a period when various non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) were adopted in COVID-19 pandemic. Through applying model, AirQ+, substantial spatial variations global identified. Differences seasonal air quality and population baselines key underlying factors. For North America,...

<p>This study was conducted to evaluate the attributable proportion and relative risks caused by inevitable exposure of humans particulate matter (PM2.5 PM10). The health impacts particulates in terms were modulated using AirQ+ software. Input data related particulates’ concentration, population collected from Environment Protection Department (EPD), Punjab Bureau Statistics Health Punjab...

To control the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Government India imposed various phases lockdown starting from third week March 2020. Improvement in city air quality has emerged as a benefit this India. The objective paper is to quantify health benefits due lockdown. PM2.5 concentrations nonattainment cities (NACs) Uttar Pradesh and Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) North were studi...

It is well established that respiratory mortality and morbidity are associated with high concentrations of fine particles such as PM2.5. The aim this study was to evaluate the long- short-term impacts PM2.5 on population Agadir, Morocco, using AirQ 2.1.1 software. mean values were obtained from data collected at three sites. Baseline incidence literature, relative risk (RR) referenced World Hea...
