Consequently, we propose here to estimate after how many minutes a cyclist would accu- mulate a dose above the aforementioned thresholds, for three areas in Delhi (see Fig. 6) where levels of noise and air pollution were low, moderate and high during our data collection, all else being...
areas where multidimensional factors, both endogenous and exogenous, drive air pollution. This allows us to draw strategic conclusions and inform appropriate policy directions. Third, by delving into critical policy discussions, the study introduces three key variables—institutional quality, inflationary sho...
In inhabited areas, flood sediments are deposited outdoors and indoors in flooded buildings [14]. Particularly basements act as sediment traps. This deposition of flood sediments can be concerning, as they are often enriched in pollutants. The enrichment of trace metals is of particular interest, ...
(2022), in a study carried out on soils of the Campania region, found median values of La and Ce higher than the threshold values of European agricultural soils, confirming the exclusive dependence of the concentrations from bedrock identified in volcanic areas of Vesuvius and ...
[58] estimated the benefit of improving the water quality around Natura 2000 areas. The findings showed a positive WTP among 473 residents while the mean WTP was between EUR 29.70 and EUR 75.50. Further [59], estimated the WTP for improving water reliability and quality using the contingent ...

It’s not just little red, orange, and green dots on a big map. City officials can use the data in a wide number of ways. Installing Climo boxes in strategic locations reveals which areas of a specific city or neighborhood are the most polluted, which guides decision-makers in policy and...
The combination of intense rainfalls, topography, and saturated soils led to a flooding crisis [90], affecting large areas of western Germany, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, and the Netherlands. In Germany, more than 180 people died, and financial losses added up to approximately 33 billion Euros ...

The root-associated fungi of this species were determined and results showed the presence of six species associated with the roots of the plants growing in the polluted areas, but only three of them were found in non-polluted soils. The fungi were cultured in oil-contaminated media and results...
