The average annual figure was US AQI 40, in comparison to Bangladesh which was the most polluted country with a US AQI figure of 162. The cleanest city was Waimea, Hawaii with a figure of just 9, whereas the most polluted city was Yosemite Lakes, California with a figure of 107. Is ...

The most common currently used air quality risk communication tool, the Air Quality Index (AQI), has been criticized. As a result, Canada proposed the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) to communicate the health risks of multiple pollutants. However, the AQHI is calculated by directly summing the...
The "PM2.5 issue" was the tipping point for China's clean air movement last year and the incentive for implementation of the new Air Quality Index (GB3095-2012). It is necessary to carry out an evaluation of the Chinese new AQI system based on comparison with developed countries and improv...
linear program that minimizes the cost of the future electricity system subject to load, operating, and transmission constraints. ReEDS runs sequentially, meaning that each model year is solved individually before continuing to the next model year. Because ReEDS solves sequentially, the model has limit...
the influence of biophysical and meteorological conditions and provides a relevant measure of comparison, although it may not be strictly ceteris paribus. The air pollutants studied include nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ground level Ozone (O3), and particulate matter (PM2.5and ...
SWB researchers usually use 3 kinds of measures, life evaluation (a reflective assessment on a person’s life), effect measures (a person’s feelings or emotional states, typically measured with reference to a particular point in time)20 and eudaimonic measures (a sense of meaning and purpose...
The joint risk associated with days in each terminal node in comparison with risk associated within the held-out referent group are presented as adjusted risk ratios, estimated in a time series analysis using the same case-crossover model and confounding covariates (Table 3). The largest risk ...
The ATSR and MODIS C5.1, C6.0 and C6.1 AOD products over China were evaluated by comparison with AERONET [4]. The biases of MODIS C6.1 and ATSR, with respect to AERONET AOD, of +0.07 and −0.07, respectively, shows that these products are suitable for merging during overlapping periods...
Several studies on indoor air quality (IAQ) and sick building syndromes have been completed over the last decade, especially in cold countries. Efforts to make homes airtight to improve energy efficiency have created buildings with low ventilation rates, resulting in the build-up of indoor pollutant...
