Research on Health Effects from Air Pollution. Decades of research have shown that air pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter (PM) increase the amount and seriousness of lung and heart disease and other health problems. More investigation is needed to further understand the role poor air quality plays in causing detrimental effects to ...
Gaps and future directions in research on health effects of air pollution
Despite progress in many countries, air pollution, and especially fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5) remains a global health threat: over 6 million premature cardiovascular and respiratory deaths/yr. have been attributed to household and outdoor air pollution. In this viewpoint, we identify present gaps in air pollution monitoring and regulation, and how they could be strengthened ...
Air Pollution
The epidemiological evidence on the interaction between heat and ambient air pollution on mortality is still inconsistent. This study investigates the interaction between heat and ambient air pollution on daily mortality by utilizing daily data on all-cause mortality, air temperature, particulate matter ≤ 10 μm (PM 10), PM ≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and ozone (O 3) from ...
NOAA, NASA spearheading massive air quality research campaign this
Scientists from NOAA, NASA and 21 universities from three countries are deploying state-of-the-art instruments in multiple, coordinated research campaigns this month to investigate how air pollution sources have shifted over recent decades.. Since the 1970s, U.S. scientists and environmental regulators made significant strides in reducing air pollution by cleaning up tailpipe and smokestack ...
Environmental and Health Impacts of Air Pollution: A Review
Short-term and long-term adverse effects on human health are observed. VOCs are responsible for indoor air smells. Short-term exposure is found to cause irritation of eyes, nose, throat, and mucosal membranes, while those of long duration exposure include toxic reactions ( 92 ).
Half the world's population are exposed to increasing air pollution
Air pollution is high on the global agenda and is widely recognised as a threat to both public health and economic progress. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4.2 million deaths ...
Translating citizen-generated air quality data into evidence for
Air pollution is a global threat that negatively impacts public health and environmental sustainability (Brauer et al., 2016; Su et al., 2015).Many studies have associated particulate matter (PM ...
New tougher U.S. air pollution standards shaped by Harvard Chan School
February 14, 2024 - Stricter new federal regulations on deadly fine particulate air pollution in the U.S. were announced on February 7—and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health research played a key role in the decision.. Many studies published in recent years by Harvard Chan researchers have provided strong evidence showing the link between fine particulate pollution, disease, and ...
National Studies on Air Pollution and Health
The National Studies on Air Pollution and Health (NSAPH) is a group of faculty, research scientists, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and college students studying data science methodologies in the context of climate change, environmental impacts on health outcomes, and regulatory policy. Our group's research ranges between ...
Advances in air quality research
Abstract. This review provides a community's perspective on air quality research focusing mainly on developments over the past decade. The article provides perspectives on current and future challenges as well as research needs for selected key topics. While this paper is not an exhaustive review of all research areas in the field of air quality, we have selected key topics that we feel are ...
The application of machine learning to air pollution research: A
However, the application of ML to air pollution research has reached maturity, with a strong focus on the chemical characteristic analysis of pollutants, short-term pollutant forecasts, improving pollutant detection efficiency and optimizing design for emission reduction. ... (No. 41730855), the major project of Inner Mongolian Natural Science ...
Full article: A critical air quality science perspective on citizen
Most air quality research projects with communities are framed with the former in mind, and are constructed as a data collecting exercise to make visible "hotspots" of air pollution, and to provide that information to residents so that they can change their behaviours to reduce their emissions and exposures (see Riley et al. Citation 2021).
Atmospheric Pollution Research
Atmospheric Pollution Research (APR) is an international journal designed for the publication of articles on air pollution. Papers should present novel experimental results, theory and modeling of air pollution on local, regional, or global scales. Areas covered are research on inorganic, organic, and persistent organic air pollutants, air ...
Causes, Consequences and Control of Air Pollution
Abstract. Air pollution occurs when gases, dust particles, fumes (or smoke) or odour are introduced into the atmosphere in a way that makes it harmful to humans, animals and plant. Air pollution ...
Using a co-created transdisciplinary approach to explore the ...
We present novel co-created transdisciplinary research that uses arts and humanities methods to explore air pollution in an informal settlement (Mukuru) in Nairobi, Kenya. Air pollution is a well ...
Air Pollution and Your Health
NIEHS supported a translational research project, Addressing Air Pollution and Asthma (1MB), that may lead to improved health for children suffering from asthma. They found that certain agricultural practices contribute to poor air quality and asthma among children. The team combined high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) cleaners and a home ...

Air pollution prediction with machine learning: a case study ...
Mostly, the air quality-based studies and research works target the developing countries, although the concentration of the most deadly pollutant like PM 2.5 is found to be in multiple folds in developing countries (Rybarczyk and Zalakeviciute 2021). A few researchers endeavored to undertake the study of air quality prediction for Indian cities.
Air Pollution: Everything You Need to Know
A number of air pollutants pose severe health risks and can sometimes be fatal, even in small amounts. Almost 200 of them are regulated by law; some of the most common are mercury, lead, dioxins ...
The Effects of Climate Change
Global climate change is not a future problem. Changes to Earth's climate driven by increased human emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases are already having widespread effects on the environment: glaciers and ice sheets are shrinking, river and lake ice is breaking up earlier, plant and animal geographic ranges are shifting, and plants and trees are blooming sooner.
All but 7 Countries on Earth Have Air Pollution Above WHO Standard
New research found that fewer than 10 percent of countries and territories met World Health Organization guidelines for particulate matter pollution last year.
FAA Invests $27 Million on Research to Reduce Emissions and Noise
WASHINGTON — Research teams from universities nationwide are working on a variety of aviation environmental topics including sustainable aviation fuels, aircraft emissions, and noise impacts with support from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants. The FAA is awarding $27.2 million to 11 U.S. universities as part of its Aviation Sustainability Center program.
