An integrated approach to indoor contaminant modelling [PDF]

, 2006
Air pollutants are those chemicals that are not generally present in the atmosphere because of natural causes but are disseminated into the air by human activity. In most parts of Europe, outdoor pollutants are principally the products of combustion from

Chronic exposure to outdoor air pollution and diagnosed cardiovascular disease: meta-analysis of three large cross-sectional surveys. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Higher exposure to outdoor air pollution is associated with increased cardiopulmonary deaths, but there is limited evidence about the association between outdoor air pollution and diagnosed cardiovascular disease.

Simulation of secondary radioactive air pollution in Ukraine due to the wind lift of radionuclides.

Mathematical machines and systems, 2021
The paper presents the results of the simulation of secondary air pollution scenario in Ukraine due to the wind lift of anthropogenic radionuclides during a dust storm in April 2020. A variant of the Bagnold formula was used to parameterize the intensity of radionuclide resuspension.

Spatial variability of air pollutants in the Basel area and carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risk [PDF]

, 2001
In environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment is a central topic as its quality determines in large part the validity of a study. Further, it is used in risk assessment to quantify the impact of environmental risk factors.

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 ...
