I n the late 1980s, there was growing concern in the United States and other countries that acid precipitation—the result of emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and, to a lesser extent, nitrogen oxides (NOx) reacting in the atmosphere to form sulfuric and nitric acids —was damaging forests and aquatic ecosystems, particularly in the US Northeast and southern Canada. In the United States, fl ue ga...
Research on sulfur metabolism in plants has historically been undertaken within the context of industrial pollution. Resolution of the problem of sulfur pollution has led to sulfur deficiency in many soils. Key questions remain concerning how different plant organs deal with reactive and potentially toxic sulfur metabolites. In this review, we discuss sulfur dioxide/sulfite assimilation in grap...
BACKGROUND There is concern that, despite the fall in air pollution levels since the 1950s, there may still be adverse effects at current levels. A study was carried out to investigate the association between air pollution and respiratory symptoms in 23 year old subjects in 1981. METHODS Data on cough, phlegm, and wheeze were available on 11,552 members of the 1958 national birth cohort. Coun...
BACKGROUND Studies in areas with relatively high levels of air pollution have found some positive associations between exposures to ambient levels of air pollution and several birth outcomes including low birth weight (LBW). The purpose of this study was to examine the association between LBW among term infants and ambient air pollution, by trimester of exposure, in a region of lower level expo...
background: air pollution and concerns about health impacts have been raised in metropolitan cities like tehran. trend and prediction of air pollutants can show the effectiveness of strategies for the management and control of air pollution. artificial neural network (ann) technique is widely used as a reliable method for modeling of air pollutants in urban areas. therefore, the aim of current ...
Analyses involving data from many locations throughout the world have now been conducted to assess the association between air pollution and mortality. To date, six independent analyses of mortality data for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have been reported. In this new analysis of Philadelphia data for 1974-1988, Poisson regression models were developed to estimate the increased risk of daily mor...
Air pollution is one of the leading global public health risks but its magnitude in many developing countries' cities is not known. We aimed to measure the concentration of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <2.5 µm (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3) pollutants in two Ugandan cities (Kampala and Jinja). PM2.5, O3, temperature and humidity were measur...
The association between daily cardiovascular/respiratory mortality and air pollution in an urban district of Beijing was investigated over a 6-year period (January 2003 to December 2008). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative importance of the major air pollutants [particulate matter (PM), SO2, NO2] as predictors of daily cardiovascular/respiratory mortality. The time-series st...
This paper reports the results of the investigation of air pollution from automobiles at intersections on some selected major roads in Ogbomoso, South Western, Nigeria. Four sampling routes were considered with ten sampling points (SP1 – SP10) placed 2.0m away from the edge of the road. Priority parameters: SO2, NOx, CO were monitored. The results of SO2, NOx, CO were in the range of 0.02 – 0.0...
BACKGROUND Pooled estimates of air pollution health effects are important drivers of environmental risk communications and political willingness. In China, there is a lack of review studies to provide such estimates for health impact assessments. METHODS We systematically searched the MEDLINE database using keywords of 80 major Chinese cities in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan on 30 June...
