Air pollution poses a persuasive threat to global health, demonstrating widespread detrimental effects on populations worldwide. Exposure to pollutants, notably particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 µm (PM2.5), has been unequivocally linked to a spectrum of adverse health outcomes. A nuanced u...
Given their consequences on human health, indoor air pollution generated through domestic energy consumption is more important than outdoor pollution in the third world. The understanding, however of the intricate link between energy and health lags behind that of the linkages between water or waste ...
Using the 1997 Indonesian forest fires as a natural experiment, we estimate the long term effects of air pollution on health outcomes. We take advantage of the longitudinal nature of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS), which collects detailed individual data on a multitude of health ...
Thermally degraded engine oil and hydraulic fluid fumes contaminating aircraft cabin air conditioning systems have been well documented since the 1950s. Whilst organophosphates have been the main subject of interest, oil and hydraulic fumes in the air su
in subarctic and arctic regions low temperature and strong wind are the factors influencing human's health. human health also depends on some environmental agents that are strongly af-fected by climate. the most important agents are: urbanization and air pollution, water supply, agriculture ...
The demand for more food is increasing fertilizer and land use, and the demand for more energy is increasing fossil fuel combustion, leading to enhanced losses of reactive nitrogen (Nr) to the environment. Many thresholds for human and ecosystem health have been exceeded owing to Nr pollution,...

These perspectives miss a crucial point: the reason pollution, energy use, extinction, and dozens of other human impacts matter is their impact on life. Ecosystems, particularly their living components, have always provided the capital to fuel human economies. When populations were small, humans mak...

Thus the transport sectoris a major source of air pollution worldwide. This issue causes serious damagesto the environment through phenomena such as acid rain, global warming andphotochemical smog. Moreover, the emission of pollutants is also related todamages in human health. Brazil is a country...
