Emerging environmental contaminants at the air/aqueous and biological soft interfaces
Emerging contaminants at the air/aqueous and model biological interfaces.
Paper
Machine learning for hours-ahead forecasts of urban air concentrations of oxides of nitrogen from univariate data exploiting trend attributes
The extraction of multiple attributes from past hours in univariate trends of hourly oxides of nitrogen (NOx) recorded at ground-level sites substantially improves NOx hourly forecasts for at least four hours ahead without exogenous-variable inputs.
Paper
The association of air quality and complex atmospheric oxidation chemistry in the dispersion and deposition of SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols
This dispersion of infectious aerosols is moderated largely by air pollution. The possible role of O3 on the dispersion of SARS-CoV-2 aerosols is emphasized.
Paper
Added value of the emissions fractions approach when assessing a chemical's potential for adverse effects as a result of long-range transport
The utility of the emission fractions approach is explored in the context of the Stockholm Convention on POPs.
Paper
Deprivation based inequality in NOx emissions in England
Deprivation based inequality in NOx emissions in England, based on index of multiple deprivation decile and mean emissions per lower layer super output area.
Paper
Relationship between air pollutant distribution and large-scale circulation
The leading mode of the singular value decomposition (SVD) of geopotential height (GPH) and boundary layer structure index (BLSI).
Paper
Tracing the origin of elevated springtime atmospheric sulfate on the southern Himalayan-Tibetan plateau
The Himalayan Tibetan Plateau (HTP) is one of the world's most climate-sensitive regions outside the polar regions.
Paper
Climate change and population aging may impact the benefits of improved air quality on cardiovascular mortality in Guangzhou: epidemiological evidence and policy implications
Dynamic changes in the contribution of air pollution, meteorological conditions and aging to cardiovascular mortality.
Paper
Spatio-temporal variation in air quality and unexpected pollution levels during the lamp event over the Indo-Gangetic Plain in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic
During the lamp event in phase-1 (P1) of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the concentration of air pollutants over the Indo Gangetic Plain (IGP) increased substantially. Analyses show an association of benzene and toluene with PM2.5 due to oil-based emissions.
Paper
Greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from power barges (powerships)
Powerships that operate on natural gas are an emerging source of greenhouse gases and air pollutants in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Caribbean where these offer a fast fix for energy deficits.
Paper
A multi-pronged approach to strengthen diesel vehicle emission monitoring
China is constructing an vehicle emission monitoring system, aimed at combining remote OBD, periodic inspections, remote sensing and roadside checks. In this study, the exhaust emissions from diesel vehicles were investigated and analysed.
