Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 A novel method for tracking structural changes in gels using widely accessible microcomputed tomography is presented and validated for various hydro‐, alco‐, and aerogels. The core idea of the method is to track positions of micrometer‐sized tracer particles entrapped in the gel and relate them to the density of the gel network.

Air Pollution Hotspot Detection and Source Feature Analysis using Cross-domain Urban Data [PDF]
ACM SIGSPATIAL 2021, 2022 Air pollution is a major global environmental health threat, in particular for people who live or work near pollution sources. Areas adjacent to pollution sources often have high ambient pollution concentrations, and those areas are commonly referred to as air pollution hotspots.

Light pollution and the concentration of anthropogenic photons in the terrestrial atmosphere [PDF]
Atmospheric Pollution Research, 2022, 13(9):101541, 2022 Light pollution can be rigorously described in terms of the volume concentration of anthropogenic photons (light quanta) in the terrestrial atmosphere. This formulation, consistent with the basic physics of the emission, scattering and absorption of light, allows one to express light pollution levels in terms of particle volume concentrations, in a ...

Novel Regression and Least Square Support Vector Machine Learning Technique for Air Pollution Forecasting [PDF]
, 2023 Air pollution is the origination of particulate matter, chemicals, or biological substances that brings pain to either humans or other living creatures or instigates discomfort to the natural habitat and the airspace. Hence, air pollution remains one of the paramount environmental issues as far as metropolitan cities are concerned.

Environmental regulation and competitiveness: Evidence from Romania [PDF]
, 2010 According to the pollution haven hypotheses differences in environmental regulation affect trade flows and plant location. Specifically, environmental stringency should decrease exports and increase imports of “dirty” goods.

Pollution State Modeling for Mexico City [PDF]
J. R. Stat. Soc. A., 182(3), 1039-1060 (2019), 2018 Ground-level ozone and particulate matter pollutants are associated with a variety of health issues and increased mortality. For this reason, Mexican environmental agencies regulate pollutant levels. In addition, Mexico City defines pollution emergencies using thresholds that rely on regional maxima for ozone and particulate matter with diameter less ...

Light pollution in USA and Europe: The good, the bad and the ugly [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Management Volume 248, 15 October 2019,
109227, 2020 Light pollution is a worldwide problem that has a range of adverse effects on human health and natural ecosystems. Using data from the New World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness, VIIRS-recorded radiance and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, we compared light pollution levels, and the light flux to the population size and GDP at the State and ...
