A modeling framework was proposed to investigate the impact of trans-boundary air pollutant transport on regional air quality. This was based on a combination of the HYSPLIT trajectory model, the CAMx air quality model, and the MM5 meteorological model. The examination of atmospheric PM10 pollution in Guangzhou within the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of southern China was used as a case study...

The momentary maximum concentration of the most important air pollutants (nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and dusts) was determined using the dispersion curves of the pollutants in the densely inhabited areas of Dâmboviţa County. In order to present the industry-wide potential impact of air pollutants on the population and on the environment, maps showing air pollution levels ha...

The relative contributions of PM(2.5) and ozone precursor emissions to air pollution-related premature mortality modulated by climate change are estimated for the U.S. using sensitivities of air pollutants to precursor emissions and health outcomes for 2001 and 2050. Result suggests that states with high emission rates and significant premature mortality increases induced by PM(2.5) will substa...

Solid waste collection, transfer and transportation (SWCTT) is a fundamental component of solid waste management systems that contributes to both the costs and environmental emissions associated with managing solid waste. The objective of this study is to project the fuel consumption and fuel costs of SWCTT in Tehran from 2018 to 2032. A further objective is to evaluate the air pollutant emissi...

Transport activities contribute significantly to air polluting emissions in all the world. In order to estimate the emissions from road transport in Campania (Italy), in this paper the COPERT methodology was employed with a bottomup approach, focusing at regional level instead of national, then including local parameters relating to fleet, driving pattern, average vehicle speed, fuel consumptio...

This paper presents global scenarios of sulphur dioxide (SO(2)), nitrogen oxides (NO(x)), and particulate matter (PM) emissions from road transport through to 2050, taking into account the potential impacts of: (1) the timing of air pollutant emission regulation implementation in developing countries; (2) global CO(2) mitigation policy implementation; and (3) vehicle cost assumptions, on study ...

The adverse effects of traffic-related air pollution on children's respiratory health have been widely reported, but few studies have evaluated the impact of traffic-control policies designed to reduce urban air pollution. We assessed associations between traffic-related air pollutants and respiratory/allergic symptoms amongst 8-9 year-old schoolchildren living within the London Low Emission Zo...

Short-term mortality due to PM2.5 in YRD is estimated to be 13,162 in 2010. The economic loss due to PM2.5 is 22.1 billion Chinese Yuan. The industry and residential sectors account for over 50% of the damages. The contribution of different air pollutant emissions varies with
