Urban heat island (UHI) influence on secondary pollutant formation in a tropical humid environment [PDF]

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2017
The combined action of urbanization (change in land use) and increase in vehicular emissions intensifies the urban heat island (UHI) effect in many cities in the developed countries. The urban warming (UHI) enhances heat-stress-related diseases and ozone (O3) levels due to a photochemical reaction.

Analysis of Urban Heat Island (UHI) in Relation to Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): A Comparative Study of Delhi and Mumbai [PDF]

, 2015
The formation and occurrence of urban heat island (UHI) is a result of rapid urbanization and associated concretization. Due to intensification of heat combined with high pollution levels, urban areas expose humans to unexpected health risks.

The Impact of Road Pavement on Urban Heat Island (UHI) Phenomenon

International Journal of Technology, 2018
An urban heat island (UHI) is a climatic phenomenon caused by modifications to the climate due to changes in the form and composition of the land surface and atmosphere. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of road pavement types for mitigating or intensifying UHI. This study was conducted in the Kota Samarahan area.

Urban Heat Islands(UHI) Mitigation in Densely Urban city of Tirana, Albania: Materials, Energy, Comfort

2012 UBT International Conference, 2012
Urban Heat Island (UHI) is considered as one of the major problems in the 21st century as a result of urbanization and industrialization of human civilization. The urban structures generate a large amount of heat from solar radiations and other sources (i.e. anthropogenic heat).

Urban Design Guidelines to Mitigate Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effects In Hot-Dry Cities

Jurnal Teknologi, 2015
Global warming and undeniable climatic change in the world have led to decreasing thermal comfort for humans. Urban heat island (UHI) is the most documented phenomenon which has led to the increasing temperature in urban areas. It has received much focus in the past few decades to evaluate the main effective criteria of UHI.

Mitigating Urban Heat Islands (UHI) Through Vegetation Restoration: Insights From Mining Communities. [PDF]

Glob Chall
AbstractVegetation restoration plays a critical role in mitigating urban heat island (UHI) effects and improving local climate conditions, particularly in mining‐affected areas. This study analyzes vegetation cover changes and their impact on UHI from 2000 to 2020 in three locations: Dexing City and Qibaoshan Township in China, and Dartford Ebbsfleet ...
