The long range programme of the World Health Organization (WHO) includes a number of regional projects aimed at reducing the damage to health and the environment from air pollutants. Within the area served by the Regional Office for Europe (EURO), recent United Nations Development Programme ...
TheWorld Health Organization (WHO)defines ambient air pollution as potentially harmful pollutants emitted by industries, households, cars, and trucks. Of all of these pollutants, fine particulate matter has the greatest effect on human health. Most fine particulate matter comes from fuel combustion from...
Emerging evidence has suggested significant associations between ambient air pollution and changes in hemoglobin levels or anemia in specific vulnerable groups, but few studies have assessed this relationship in the general population. This study aimed to evaluate the association between long-term exposure...
Ambient air pollution is a major environmental health problem affecting everyone in low-, middle-, and high-income countries; and representing a considerable threat to health worldwide [1]. According to the definition form WHO, ambient air pollution is a broader term used to describe air pollutio...
Ambient air pollution has been associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), but few studies rely on assessment of fine-scale variation in air quality, specific subtypes and multi-pollutant exposures. Aim To study the impact of long-term exposure to individual and mixture of air pollu...
10-13 Another pressing concern is the influence of climate change on the effects of air pollution, which are exacerbated by increasing levels of greenhouse gases. Particularly worrying is the disproportionate effect that climate change has on economically disadvantaged communities.14 The WHO has also...
Open-top chambers ventilated with ambient or chiarcoal-filtered air were used to assess the impact of air pollution on the yield of local cultivars of whea
Ambient air pollution may play a role in childhood obesity development, but evidence is scarce, and the modifying role of socioeconomic status (SES) is unclear. We aimed to examine the association between exposure to air pollution during early childhood and subsequent risk of developing overweight ...
air pollution adversely affects the animals and deteriorates the plant environment. The overarching objective of this review is to explore the previous researches regarding the causes and sources of air pollution, how to control it and its detrimental effects on human health. The definition of air ...
Ambient air pollution has adverse effects on the reproductive system. However, inconsistent conclusions were reached from different studies with regard to air pollutants and pregnancy outcomes, especially the livebirth rate in assisted reproductive technology (ART) in different windows of exposure. Methods...
