The recognized air pollution effects over public health include increased risk of hospital admissions and mortality by respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. The combination of these serious pollution related health hazards with senior and children vulnerabilities leads to serious sanitary concerns. Over the...
air pollution, governments, corporations, communities, and individuals need to collaborate in implementing policies aimed at decreasing emissions, embracing cleaner energy and transportation technologies, enhancing urban green areas, and raising public awareness about the health hazards linked to air pollution...
What are the health hazards from breathing in the dirty air? Carbon monoxide (CO) and lead (Pb) suspended in the air can contribute to ill effects for tourists. Headaches and breathing problems are common after a day of sightseeing if you're prone to pollution-related sickness or have pre...
Continued animal, clinical, and epidemiologic research of both short- and long-term health effects is clearly needed to support or limit future regulatory decisions regarding the quality of outdoor air. 展开 关键词: radiation, thermal, and other environ. pollutant effects on living orgs. and ...
Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health. It offers research papers, critical ...

EPA issues an air quality alert when pollutant concentrations are higher than 101 on the index, as this is the level at which people in sensitive groups—such as children, people with asthma, and those at risk of respiratory disease—begin to experience health hazards from poor air quality. ...
Shanghainese are all too familiar with the hazards of PM2.5 and are coming to terms with the problems associated with ground-level ozone (O3). The problem gets worse in the sunny, summer months when volatile organic compounds (VOC) react to the increased sunlight and produce ozone. Levels ...
