" The map below shows the 19 year air quality pattern in comparison tohuman settlement patterns. When we show the pattern by where people reside globally, we start to see where the human impact is occurring, and where policy might make the biggest difference. PM 2.5 concentrations overlayed w...
Air qualityNation comparisonRussiaUnited KingdomA comparison is made of some of the key elements of ambient air quality in the UK and the Russian Federation. In each country air quality has recently moved towards the top of public environmental concerns. The legislative and regulatory framework for...
geospatialemission inventories,Corbett et al. (2007)revealed the mortality due to shipping-related particulate emissions.Evans et al. (2013)found distinctly high mortality estimates from satellite observations in comparison to the ground-based databases. However, considerable collinearity was observed ...
To reiterate on the poor levels of air quality in Jakarta, the 2019 reading put it into 126thplace out of all the most polluted cities ranked in the world. This is a high ranking, and for some comparison, Bangkok came in at position number 737, with a PM2.5 reading of 22.8 µg/m...
With respect to the comparison of the pairs of routes completed on the same days, the application of the Kruskal–Willis test to the ADSA concentration measured in the tram presents the greatest statistically significant differences with respect to the other forms of commuting considered, with littl...
Comparison of air quality management strategies of PM10, SO2, and NOx by an industrial source complex model in Beijing The primary air pollutants in the Beijing urban area are fine particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NO x ). Using suitable ... G Ying,M ...
9. Even if income groups do have equal air quality concentrations, there still lies a disproportionate burden on lower income communities because of historical disadvantages, and less access to healthcare facilities when compared to wealthier communities10. We add to the literature by evaluating the ...
In comparison to similar studies, this work is the first detailed investigation of the impacts of COVID-19 shutdowns on the ground-level air quality in a major US city. One recently published manuscript did assess changes in PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations across the continental US (Berman and...
Air quality improvement from 2001 to 2010 was estimated to have prevented 2810 premature deaths, 951 new cases of chronic bronchitis, 141,457 cases of outpatient visits, 969 cases of emergency-room visits and 31,810 cases of hospital admissions. The DALYs (VOSL) decreased by 56.92% (52.68%)...
Our comparison of different global risk factors shows that ambient air pollution is a leading cause of excess mortality and LLE, in particular through CVDs. Globally, the LLE from air pollution surpasses that of HIV/AIDS, parasitic, vector-borne, and other infectious diseases by a large margin....
