Exploring the endocrine activity of air pollutants associated with unconventional oil and gas extraction

Environmental Health, 2018
Background In the last decade unconventional oil and gas (UOG) extraction has rapidly proliferated throughout the United States (US) and the world. This occurred largely because of the development of directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing which ...

CONSIDERATIONS ON REDUCTION OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION FROM RADIOACTIVE EMISSIONS FROM BUILDING MATERIALS AND THE GROUND [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2017
The goal of this paper is to study the reduction of health risks from indoor radioactive pollutants, as thoron emissions from common building materials, and radon emission from both building materials and the ground. In particular, when dealing with the indoor environment, one of the most important hazard is represented by radon gas, considered by the ...

Global in situ Observations of Essential Climate and Ocean Variables at the Air–Sea Interface

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The air–sea interface is a key gateway in the Earth system. It is where the atmosphere sets the ocean in motion, climate/weather-relevant air–sea processes occur, and pollutants (i.e., plastic, anthropogenic carbon dioxide, radioactive/chemical waste ...

Paths of Air Pollutants Containing Radioactive Nuclides in the Suburban Area of Thessaloniki, Northern Greece

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2010
The atmospheric behavior of 7 Be-aerosols in association with atmospheric pollutants was studied by using 1-ACFM Andersen type cascade impactors. The activity of 7 Be, a radionuclide of cosmogenic origin, determined by gamma-ray spectrometry (Eγ = 0.477 MeV), was largely associated with submicron aerosol particles in the accumulation mode (0.4– 2.0 μm).

A Machine Learning-Based Platform for Monitoring and Prediction of Hazardous Gases in Rural and Remote Areas

IEEE Access
The emissions of pollutants and radioactive gases are the main causes of several environmental disasters that may cause premature deaths. The significant impact of these gases on public health is a major concern, especially in remote and rural regions ...

FORECASTING OF RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION OF ATMOSPHERIC AIR IN AN EXTREME SITUATION AT NPP

Ukrainian Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2023
Problem statement. The task of assessing the level of atmospheric air radioactive contamination in the case of an extreme situation on the territory of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which leads to an instantaneous radioactive aerosol emission, is considered.

Exposure to Air Pollution and Particle Radioactivity With the Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmias [PDF]

Circulation, 2020
Background: Individuals are exposed to air pollution and ionizing radiation from natural sources through inhalation of particles. This study investigates the association between cardiac arrhythmias and short-term exposures to fine particulate matter (particulate matter ≤2.5 µm aerodynamic diameter; PM
