“Air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.” Orange: 101–150 “Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is less likely to be affected.” Red: 151–200 “Some...
Air Quality Monitoring is the process of assessing the trend and status of air pollutants in different locations using fixed stations or mobile platforms to ensure full coverage of air quality in a larger area, essential for studies on the health effects of air pollution. ...
What are the effects on health by breathing South Korea’s poor quality air? Strong, healthy people with no known pre-existing medical conditions can be affected by air pollution. The effects may be mild symptoms of coughing and wheezing or irritated eyes. Skin irritations can happen too depend...
PM2.5comes from many of the sources mentioned earlier such as motor vehicles, factories, and forest fires, among others. The effects of these pollutants on the air quality can easily be seen in many urban areas around the world, shown below as a hazy mist often referred to as smog. ...

Air pollution is a serious problem that affects economic development and people’s health, so an efficient and accurate air quality prediction model would help to manage the air pollution problem. In this paper, we build a combined model to accurately pr
First, we did not investigate the interactive effect of high temperatures and PM2.5, due to lack of PM2.5 modelled data in the study area, although there is ample evidence that this pollutant has adverse health effects [43]. Additionally, our study is limited to the Attica region that ...
In addition, long range transport influences air quality [11,12]. A well-known example is the occurrence of high concentrations of dust over the Beijing area, due to transport of dust generated during storms over deserts in the north and west of China [3,4]. Large-scale weather systems, ...
Thirdly, there is heterogeneity in how air pollution and physical exercise affect residents’ health. However, studies in this regard are scarce. While China is speeding up the construction of a beautiful and healthy country, improving air quality is considered one of its essential tasks, and it...
