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 or
A fuzzy approach is used to calculate the air quality index of atmosphere to suggest the outdoor activities of human. The atmosphere always affects the human body and the hazards materials are badly influence the atmosphere . Our fuzzy metagraph model suggest the outdoor activity based on AQI ...
As an important form of green infrastructure, urban parks have been found to mitigate urban (micro) climate changes and hazards, including urban heat islands (e.g., Armson et al., 2012; Cao et al., 2010; Li et al., 2023; Yan et al., 2018), extreme heat events (e.g., Motaz...
Outdoor air pollutants are either derived from human activities, such as industrial emissions, road traffic, residential heating, shipping, air traffic, construction, agricultural activities, war and fire accidents, or from natural hazards, such as earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, spontaneous ...
The use of this colour-coded system is a means for the Serbia EPA (SEPA) to strive to quickly communicate changing air quality levels and associated health hazards to the public, in a simplified and intuitive way, with the aim to enable the public to quickly respond with actions to protect...
Just as in the 70s, the concerns were "Energy Conservation", in the 80s it was "Global warming and Ozone Depletion", the focus in the 90s and in the next millenium will remain "Health Hazards" and "Indoor Air Quality". Over the last 15 years, our knowledge of environmental risk 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...
Clean air is a fundamental requirement for life. In the last two decades, there has now been a pronounced consciousness about the air quality of both the indoor and outdoor systems, as the microorganisms prevailing in an environment symbolizes the diverse human activities (Pasquarella et al. 200...
Following the advice given will not necessarily provide complete protection in all situations or against all health hazards that may be caused by indoor air pollution.INTRODUCTIONIndoor Air Quality ConcernsAll of us face a variety of risks to our health as we go about our day-to-day lives. ...
hazardous) or expressed on a numerical scale, usually from 0 to 500, according to levels set by legislation and assessed annually to protect health and the environment. By contrast, lower values indicate excellent air quality, while higher values indicate poor quality and potential health hazards....
