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

Analysis on the Characteristics of Air Pollution in China during the COVID-19 Outbreak
Atmosphere, 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic poses a serious global threat to human health. In China, the government immediately implemented lockdown measures to curb the spread of this virus. These measures severely affected transportation and industrial production across the

Aim in Climate Change and City Pollution [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The sustainability of urban environments is an increasingly relevant problem. Air pollution plays a key role in the degradation of the environment as well as the health of the citizens exposed to it. In this chapter we provide a review of the methods available to model air pollution, focusing on the application of machine-learning methods.

Design of the Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in COPD (SPIROMICS) AIR Study. [PDF]
, 2017 IntroductionPopulation-based epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to ambient air pollutants increases hospitalisations and mortality from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but less is known about the impact of exposure to air ...

Trend analysis and forecasting air pollution in Rwanda [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Air pollution is a major public health problem worldwide although the lack of data is a global issue for most low and middle income countries. Ambient air pollution in the form of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exceeds the World Health Organization guidelines in Rwanda with a daily average of around 42.6 microgram per meter cube.

Pollution fears are misplaced while toxins thrive indoors air filters can reduce heart and lung disease, a new study reveals, because air quality is so poor inside modern houses [PDF]
, 2008 Following the smoking ban, advocates of clean air might have believed that the battle was largely won. However, worrying new research highlights the pernicious effects of other life-threatening pollutants.

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 ...
