Air pollution mapUrban areaMobile measurementSpatial distribution.Motor vehicle emissions in urban streets with intense traffic have been pointed out as a significant local source leading to interest in the concept of "hot spots," which are locations where mobile sources may expose people to elevated...
Description:The map below shows how PM2.5 air pollution, mean annual exposure (micrograms per cubic meter) varies by country in South America. The shade of the country corresponds to the magnitude of the indicator. The darker the shade, the higher the value. The country with the highest value...
Urban air pollution resulting from economic growth as well as urbanization impacts the health of inhabitants. This study aims to examine the spatial distribution of particulate matter (PM10) and the risk of exposure for the population in the Klang Valley, an urban conglomeration centred in Kuala Lu...
Urban living is synonymous with a higher exposure to environmental stressors such as air pollution and associated physiological stress; however, the modifying role of greenness has been understudied. We included 190,200 participants from a UK-wide cohort to examine the modifying role of residential ...
As CS has been recognized as an emerging trend in Poland, we found it necessary to promote the sCS concept through the European CS platform (https://eu-citizen.science) and engage citizens in air pollution monitoring by organizing training sessions. What differentiates CS from other VGI ...
It is apparent that the smoke from open burning resulted in highly intensive pollution to the air. In particular, PM2.5,10and CO were the main parameters of air pollution in this experiment. The 3D AQI map location for both levels of the UAV monitor is shown inFigure 10a,b. The separatio...
In practice, the spatial trend or drift of the mean is estimated here using a single predictor variable, which is the annual average concentration map provided by the EPISODE air pollution dispersion model (see Fig. 3), with the intercept set to zero. The observations are provided by the air...
since they contribute to reducing air pollution only when they are implemented together with renewable policies; (iii) the effectiveness of these policies depends on the type of pollutant to be reduced; (iv) the positive effects of sustainable energy policies on air pollution have been probably rei...
Light pollution is a novel environmental problem whose extent and severity are rapidly increasing. Among other concerns, it threatens global biodiversity, nocturnal animal migration, and the integrity of the ground-based astronomy research enterprise. Th
