Spatiotemporal Graph Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network Model for Citywide Air Pollution Forecasting [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Citywide Air Pollution Forecasting tries to precisely predict the air quality multiple hours ahead for the entire city. This topic is challenged since air pollution varies in a spatiotemporal manner and depends on many complicated factors. Our previous research has solved the problem by considering the whole city as an image and leveraged a ...

Analysis of 13 32P-DNA Postlabeling Studies on Occupational Cohorts Exposed to Air Pollution [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2001
Abstract Industrial and urban workers may be exposed to significant levels of air pollutants resulting from the incomplete combustion of organic matter. The authors performed a meta-analysis of 13 DNA-adduct studies (32P-DNA postlabeling technique) on occupational cohorts exposed to air pollution.

Comprehensive laboratory study on smoke gases during the thermal oxidative decomposition of forest and vegetation fuels

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the composition of smoke gases in forest and vegetation samples to draw conclusions about the actual smoke gas composition during wildfires. The focus is particularly on regions with extensive pine forests, like in Eastern Germany.

Prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and associated factors among small-holder fish vendors along coastal areas in Tanzania

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background In Tanzania little is known about how the respiratory system of small-holder fish vendors is affected by occupational exposure to biomass smoke and other associated factors. This study assessed the prevalence of lung obstruction and associated

Analysis of air pollution time series using complexity-invariant distance and information measures [PDF]

, 2019
Air pollution is known to be a major threat for human and ecosystem health. A proper understanding of the factors generating pollution and of the behavior of air pollution in time is crucial to support the development of effective policies aiming at the reduction of pollutant concentration.

Anthocyanin Extracts From 11 Superfruits Mitigate Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Damage in HK‐2 Cells Induced by Cadmium Exposure

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) pollution has emerged as an escalating threat to human health, with its induced kidney toxicity being closely linked to oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, we extracted and analyzed primary anthocyanins from 11 superfruits using UPLC‐Triple‐TOF/MS and evaluated their antioxidant capacity through DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and

Indoor Particulate Matters, Microbial Count Assessments, and Wheezing Symptoms among Toddlers in Urban Day Care Centers in the District of Seremban, Malaysia

Annals of Global Health, 2019
Introduction: Indoor air quality in day care centers (DCCs) is an emerging research topic nowadays. Indoor air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM) and microbes have been linked to respiratory health effects in children, particularly asthma-related

Modelling Air Pollution Crises Using Multi-agent Simulation [PDF]

Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Jan 2016, Kauai, United States, 2019
This paper describes an agent based approach for simulating the control of an air pollution crisis. A Gaussian Plum air pollution dispersion model (GPD) is combined with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict the concentration levels of three different air pollutants.
