The effects of vehicular emissions on human health, vegetations, and environments were investigated in four locations of Chidambaram (East Car Street, West car street, North Car Street and south car street junctions). The investigation was carried out with the use of questionnaires and High volume...
This chapter discusses the effects of motor vehicle pollutants on health. The characteristic feature of pollution because of road traffic is its wide spreading such that the whole population is affected, including children, invalids, old people, and pregnant women. Carbon monoxide is the pollutant ...
Mechanisms of PM Health Effects Medical research on the effects of particulate matter has a relatively short history compared to that on gaseous air pollutants. Many technical papers on diesel emissions written in the 1970s and early 1980s classified diesel particulates as nuisance dust, but otherwis...
Air pollution has become a pressing global issue as it has adverse effects onhealth, with detrimental effects on both the environment and human health. This article aims to shed light on the adverse impact of airpollutionspecifically on respiratory health. Ad From inhaling harmful pollutants to the...
This paper examines the effect of traffic, vehicle and road characteristics on vehicular emissions with a view to understand a link between emissions and the most likely influencing and measurable characteristics. It demonstrates the relationships of traffic, vehicle and intersection characteristics with ...
Vehicle loads have significant impacts on the emissions of heavy-duty trucks, even in the same traffic conditions. Few studies exist covering the differences in emissions of diesel semi-trailer towing trucks (DSTTTs) with different loads, although these vehicles have a wide load range. In this ...
Exhaust and waste emissions from fossil-fuel vehicles have rapidly increased greenhouse gases (GHGs) and air pollutants (Zhang et al., 2020), significantly threatening human health (Dong et al., 2021).1 Extensive scientific research has addressed the adverse effects of air pollution exposure on ...
