The main air pollutants include particulate matter, followed by carbon (C), sulphur oxides (SO), nitrogen oxides (NO), ammonia (NH3), carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4). One of the indicators used by the European Environment Agency measures the concentration of particulate matter in urban...
Design/methodology/approach - International general and organic regulations to control air quality do not exist yet. Consequently many countries have independently implemented specific indicators to monitor the air pollution and then alert people of resulting health risks. The paper focuses on three of ...
These are due to wildfires once again making their way through many cities and surrounding forested areas in the state of California, causing huge amounts of damage to the environment as well as the health of those living in the immediate vicinity. Even those who live great distances away can...
complete combustion results in the production of only CO2and H2O. Likewise, the production of CH4has been an indication of completeanaerobic digestionof organic compounds within the landfill or during fermentation. Both of these indicators of pollution control efficiency also happen to be greenhouse ...
to implement and maintain at all times, throughout the duration of the PROCESSING, technical and organisational security measures that are appropriate with respect to the nature of the PROCESSING and associated risks, and notably, depending on technical feasibility and the nature of the SERVICES: ...
Some health effects can be useful indicators of an indoor air quality problem, especially if they appear after a person moves to a new residence, remodels or refurnishes a home, or treats a home with pesticides. If you think that you have symptoms that may be related to your home environm...
Cardiovascular and Respiratory Health Outdoor airpollutionhas been associated, through basic science, clinical, epidemiological, toxicology, and environmental science and engineering research, over several decades with many different measurable indicators of adverse acute and chronic cardiovascular (heart-related...
Some health effects can be useful indicators of an indoor air quality problem, especially if they appear after a person moves to a new residence, remodels or refurnishes a home, or treats a home with pesticides. If you think that you have symptoms that may be related to your home ...
One of the most common indicators is weak airflow. This happens over time. The air feels weaker or inconsistent, even when the AC is set to its highest setting. Weak airflow often points to problems with the blower fan, which may be worn out or obstructed by debris. It could also indi...
Plants are good indicators of air pollution. Tree leaves have proven to be good collectors of PM (Moreno et al., 2003; Urbat et al., 2004; Yin et al., 2013; Rai, 2013). Vegetation naturally cleanses the atmosphere by absorbing some particulate matter and gases through plant leaves, as...
