Assessment of Air Pollution and its Effects on Health of Workers of Steel Re-Rolling Mills in Hyderabad [PDF]

Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2016
The SRRMs (Steel Re-Rolling Mills) are being releasing air pollutants in the environment. In order to evaluate their effect on the health of the workers, health and safety issues were analyzed by first measuring the concentrations of SO x (OIxides of ...

Offline Meteorology-Pollution Coupling Global Air Pollution Forecasting Model with Bilinear Pooling [PDF]

arXiv
Air pollution has become a major threat to human health, making accurate forecasting crucial for pollution control. Traditional physics-based models forecast global air pollution by coupling meteorology and pollution processes, using either online or offline methods depending on whether fully integrated with meteorological models and run simultaneously.

The nature of discrimination in recreation decision making

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Using data on the site choices of marine recreational anglers fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, we build on previous literature that finds anglers are willing to encumber travel costs to avoid sites located in areas with more predominant Black and Hispanic populations.

Epidemiologic evidence for asthma and exposure to air toxics: linkages between occupational, indoor, and community air pollution research.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2002
Outdoor ambient air pollutant exposures in communities are relevant to the acute exacerbation and possibly the onset of asthma. However, the complexity of pollutant mixtures and etiologic heterogeneity of asthma has made it difficult to identify causal components in those mixtures. Occupational exposures associated with asthma may yield clues to causal

Cost–benefit analysis of landfill emergency securing: Two applications in Southern Italy

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract The systematic use of landfills as a method of waste disposal is leaving a heavy legacy in terms of environmental pollution, especially in the case of illegal or non‐compliant disposal sites. When no environmental precaution is adopted, harmful substances' release imposes relevant health risk to the surrounding population.

Business ethics, law and zemiology: The criminology of social and environmental harm

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
Abstract This speculative paper introduces zemiology, an extension of radical criminology which explores why many ‘crimes’ are not ‘illegal’ by focussing on the problem of ‘social harm’. Zemiology insists that we should begin with social or environmental problems, and not allow their foreclosure by the distraction of whether a particular practice is ...
