The impact of natural sources on air quality is highly dependent on the local environment. For example, locations near large deserts like the Sahara are greatly impacted by windblown dust and sand, while forested locations are more likely to experience air pollution from wildfires. Household ...

Angeles, which averaged an AQI of 52 (“moderate”) during the same 2019 monitoring period. Irvine’s improved air quality, compared toLos Angeles’ air quality, is attributable to Irvine’s lower population density. Less density often translates to less traffic congestion and reduced personal ...
For this project we are going to build a BackpAQ V3 personal air quality (AQ) monitor. As you can see from the accompanying photos, BackpAQ is designed to be easily carried, clipped to a backpack, or placed in a mobile scenario such as a vehicle or other transport. As BackpAQ utilizes...
Consisting of four stages: impact identification, impact assessment, significance evaluation, and mitigation measures on the possible environmental repercussions of project developmental activities, the efficacy of impact prediction can define the quality of the EIA process, which will better align ...

CSL scientists demonstrated that products we use in our homes and businesses, such as cleaning and personal care products, are emerging as the largest petrochemical source of VOCs in urban areas (McDonald et al. 2018). This pivotal study spurred CSL scientists to drive across the country measuri...
Is the air quality in Shanghai getting better or worse? In September 2014, the local authorities introduced the strictest air pollution law in all of China which became enforceable from 1stOctober. Personal penalties for company bosses were introduced with fines of RMB 100,000 and maximum fines...
The spatial scale of an air quality monitoring network is determined by monitoring objectives. Spatial scales include personal (<1 m, one person), microscale (1–100 m), middle scale (100 m–0.5 km), neighborhood scale (0.5–4.0 km), urban scale (4–50 km), and regional scale (tens ...
