Abstract Natural gas production occurs in specific regions of the US, after which it is processed and transported via an interconnected network high-pressure interstate pipelines. While presence hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) unprocessed, upstream natural has been documented, little published on their midstream supply. We systematically evaluated publicly available, industry-disclosed HAP comp...

It is important to understand the effects of emission controls on concentrations of ozone, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) simultaneously, to evaluate the full range of health, ecosystem, and economic effects. Until recently, the capability to simultaneously evaluate interrelated atmospheric pollutants ("one atmosphere" analysis) was unavailable to air quali...

The National Urban Air Toxics Research Center (NUATRC) hosted its first scientific workshop in 1994 that focused on possible relationships between air toxics and asthma. From that meeting came recommendations for future research including a need for more complete individual personal exposure assessments so that determinations of personal exposures to pollutants could be made. In the spring of 2...

The hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) group is composed of 187 chemicals that are known to be potentially carcinogenic and dangerous for human health. Due their toxicological impact, HAPs an increasingly studied class compounds. Of the different sources, refineries one major sources. In order obtain a preliminary assessment impact refinery in terms emissions, useful instrument determination emiss...

asthma is one of the most common diseases in childhood, which has been increased during last decade because of epidemiological pattern changes with climate and industrialization of the communities. there are some controversies on the relationship between air pollution and asthma. tehran, as the capital of iran, is one of the densest populations and is one of the most polluted cities in the worl...

OBJECTIVE Air pollution contains many toxicants known to affect neurological function and to have effects on the fetus in utero. Recent studies have reported associations between perinatal exposure to air pollutants and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. We tested the hypothesis that perinatal exposure to air pollutants is associated with ASD, focusing on pollutants associated with ASD...
