Ventilation of health hazardous aerosol pollution within the planetary boundary layer (PBL) – the lowest layer of the atmosphere – is dependent upon turbulent mixing, which again is closely linked to the height of the PBL. Here we show that emissions o
Studies have shown that nutritional supplements could reduce the adverse effects induced by air pollution. However, whether dietary patterns can modify the association of long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and its constituents with hyp
Energy is considered an engine for economic growth. However, energy has undesirable impacts on environmental degradation as it leads to pollutant emissions (Nasir and Rehman85). Therefore, the third group of works consists of papers examining the relationship between economic growth and the environment...
Because the YRD and PRD are the most developed region in China, it has become the area with the highest concentration of contaminated sites.44,45 Convenient transportation, proximity to consumer markets, well-established industrial chains, abundant labor force, and reform and opening-up policy have...
(1994). The following equation was used:(1)Q=F∗L∗Twhere Q is the quantity (kg) of the pollutant removed by the vegetation; F (μgm2∗s) is the flux of the pollutant, which is a function of the PM10 concentration and the deposition velocity (Vd) of particles on the leaves;...
The second most abundant fraction for this bioaerosol was particles sized within a range from 3.3 to 4.7 μm. On the other hand, in cold seasons (winter and early spring), a significant increase in the contribution of fine particles (1.1–2.1 μm) was observed [50]. Very similar results...
Hence, it is possible that though the primary pollutants are entirely degraded by single ozonation, the degree of mineralization can be deficient [77]. This is, perhaps, the most critical disadvantage of the use of single ozonation as an AOP, since these low molecular weight byproducts may ...
In the waters of western Scotland, which is one of the most important porpoise habitats in Europe, the conflict between salmon farms and whale and porpoise habitats is particularly serious. Scotland has a high density of salmon farms and more than half of them use ADDs to keep predators away...
The second most abundant inorganic ion that present in water is magnesium. The concentration of Mg2+ in the water samples varied from 1 to 41 mg/L with an average value of 10.56 mg/L. The WHO recommended value for Mg2+ concentration is 50 mg/L. All samples were found within the WHO ...
For example, if we are building a system that turns water red when a pollutant is detected, we can break it down into two separate devices, one that detects the pol- lutant and another that produces red pigment. These simpler tasks are then solved by players (i.e., collaborators or ...
