both in regards to the yearly average rating as well as the causes and appropriate measures that may be taken against it. In terms of how polluted it is in comparison to other countries in south east Asia, it can be seen that Malaysia actually came in with a significantly better placing ...
Amsterdam was seen to have the largest number of polluted streets than any of the other four large cities (Rotterdam, The Hague and Maastricht) in the comparison. It was discovered that as many as 4 out of 10 streets that were subject of the study had very high levels of nitrogen dioxide...
Comparison of the revised air quality index with the psi and aqi indices. Sci. Total Environ. 2007, 382, 191-198. [CrossRef] [PubMed]W. L. Cheng, Chen Y. S., Zhang J., Lyons T.J., Pai J.L., Chang S.H., Comparison of the Revised Air Quality Index with the PSI and AQI ...
3). Note that for most studies found in the literature, including those on CCS, emissions from the infrastructure and the extraction of raw materials other than fuel tend to be excluded since they are assumed to be relatively small in comparison to primary burdens or there...
1 Comparison of the global tropospheric mean [OH] with MCF-based and HFC-based inversions. Tropospheric [OH] variations calculated using MOZART (pink) and GEOS-Chem (purple) chemical mechanisms (n = 144) are compared with MCF-based inversions from the 3D model as described by Patra et ...
Furthermore, quantification and mon- etizing the health burden that an area contributing to or receiving from its surrounding areas could be assessed. Hence, this method assesses regional air quality only based on pollutant concentration comparison, just like assessing the quality of a group of ...
Often, ventilation related standards are written in the form of minimum requirements, defining ventilation rates in l/s per person or per floor area of the building. Ventilation recommendations have varied over time, as our understanding has increased. As an example, the history related to ASHRAE...
ultrafine particle–cell interactions can be an important pro-oxidant mechanism inducing inflammatory responses, especially in the lungs, possibly due to the large reactive surface area of carbon (Schmid et al.2009). Therefore, toxic particle components and effective surface area are not well-represent...
a survey on 441,696 of their members between the ages of 2 and 18. Their results showed that the percentage of people taking asthma medication, meaning they are presumably affected by asthma, is 12.9 per cent. For comparison, the Belgian average, which also includes adults, is 8 per cent...
The UK’s air quality management policy is largely devolved to local authorities, who are responsible to monitor and track local air quality, to check that national air quality targets are achieved. If it looks as though an area’s air pollution may miss the national target, the local authori...
