Objective: To determine the effect of Air Quality Index (AQI) in the first trimester of pregnancy on birth weight, placental weight, and the ratio of placental weight to the birth weight (pw-bw) in Isfahan. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 312 consecutive pregnant women in Beheshti Hospital in Isfahan city in 2013. Information on air pollution was received from the ...

Air pollution is one of the emerging environmental issues of the western cities of Iran. Daily data (2009-2012) on air pollutants in Sanandaj, Iran, were collected from the Department of Environmental Protection, Kurdistan Province, Iran. Climatic parameters were collected from the Kurdistan Meteorological Bureau. The quality of air was assessed based on the air quality index (AQI). The relatio...

Background and purpose: In this study, the air quality index and concentration of particles such as PM10 and PM2.5 were investigated in Arak. Materials and Methods: To determine the concentration of PM10 and PM2.5, 60 samples were collected by laser TSI model 8520 in summer and winter 2012. The collection site was around Arak city center. Results: during the sampling period, as a matter of PM10...

We use panel data from Germany to analyze the effect of population density on urban air pollution (nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, ozone, and an aggregate index for bad quality [AQI]). To address unobserved heterogeneity omitted variables, we present long difference/fixed effects estimates instrumental variables estimates, using historical soil as instruments. Using our preferred find that...

The growing concern about Indoor Air-Quality has accelerated the development of small, low-cost air-quality monitoring systems. These systems are capable of monitoring various indoor air pollutants in real time, notifying users about the current air-quality status and gathering the information to the central server. However, most Internet of Things (IoT)-based air-quality monitoring systems num...

concerns have been raised about the adverse impact of dusty air pollution (dap) on human health. the aim of this study was to find the association between dusty air pollution based on air quality index (aqi) and the risk of allergic diseases in southwestern provinces of iran, with assessing cytokine profiles and lymphocyte immunophenotypes.in this case control study 148 individuals participated...

Air Quality Index (AQI) is an indicator of the pollution level our surroundings and household. Prediction AQI values from historical can help us analyze mitigate levels. The be classified into predetermined categories machine learning algorithms made use to improve classification accuracy value calculated. main objective paper provide potential researchers, with importance various Machine Learn...

Air Pollution is one of the significant problems in Tehran. Understanding the role of different sources can result in better decision-making. Some pollutions are not emitted directly from sources and are present in the atmosphere due to chemical reactions. Therefore, using air quality modeling can be beneficial to our understanding of these phenomena. An air quality modeling system was used fir...
