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...
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...

For the health impact of ground-level ozone, we consider chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Health effect of changes in air pollution are calculated using epidemiological associations (relative risks (RRs)) linking ambient air concentration to specific health hazards in the general population. RR ...
health and socio-economic aspects and further subcategorized into multiple dimensions of health and socio-economic consequences. The survey reveals that the impact of air pollution is comprehensive, ranging from chronic to life-threatening diseases, and from malfunctioning of specific organ systems to ...
Unlike flood hazards, which are highly localized, air pollution tends to cover and move across large areas, blanketing entire cities or regions. So, if large proportions of a population live in densely populated areas, they tend to be collectively exposed to unsafe pollution levels. Considering a...
have been limited and inconclusive (Brunekreef and Forsberg, 2005; Chang et al., 2011; Mallone et al., 2011); some studies found significant health hazards of PM 10-2.5 , while others did not. The inadequate evidence of health effects of ...

As well as posing significant health hazards to the human population, Kosovo air pollution can also pose notable risks to the natural environment, with knock-on effects on the local economy. For example, air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and ammonia can cause acidic and nitrogen chemical com...
For best-informed decision-making to improve climate change adaptation and reduce present and future air pollution health hazards, it is essential to identify major trends in spatiotemporal air quality patterns of common air contaminants. This study examined the patterns and trends of SO2, NO2, CO...
