“…Epidemiological studies have established a relationship between air pollution components and health of people [47][48][49]. Impacts assessment of the anticipated maximum concentrations of odour and air emissions from the proposed facility shows that, the anticipated maximum odour level from the landfill operation will be 1% of the 10-min 1 OU/m 3 limit while its maximum CH 4 emission will be 0.03% of its 50,000 LEL.…”

A mixture of gases and obnoxious odours are major components of landfill emission. A dispersion modelling on air pollutants and odour emissions anticipated from a proposed Integrated Waste Management Facility was conducted considering five operating scenarios. Impacts of the predicted ground level concentrations of air pollutants (including carbon monoxide, CO; oxides of nitrogen, NO X ; sulphur dioxide, SO 2 ; particulate matter, PM and hydrocarbons, HC) and odour on ambient air quality were investigated using the 10-min 1 OU/m 3 odour limit, CH 4 Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and the daily limits of CO, NOx, SO 2 , PM and HC. The anticipated maximum ground level concentration of emitted odour and CH 4 are 0.0040 OU/m 3 and 0.0349 ppm, respectively. Simultaneous operations of all the major components of the facility will generate the daily maximum concentrations of 7.34, 2.60, 7.31, 29.72 and 0.42 μg/m 3 , for CO, NO X , SO 2, PM and HC, respectively. Generally, the facility impacts on ambient air quality will be within the acceptable limit.

“…The major components are sulfate, sodium, chloride, nitrates, ammonia, mineral dust, black carbon, and water. Particulates less than or equal to diameter of 10 microns are most health damaging which have the capability to penetrate and lodge deep into the lungs and can even cause cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as lung cancer [4]. Sulfur Dioxide (SO 2 ), a colorless gas with a sharp odor, is produced from the burn-ing of sulfur containing fossil fuels like coal & oil, smelting mineral ore containing sulfur, power generation and motor vehicles.…”

“…SO 2 in combination with water causes sulfuric acid which is the main constituent of acid rain and the main cause of deforestation. This gas can affect the respiratory system and functions of lungs, irritation in eyes, mucus secretion, inflammation of the respiratory tract, aggravation of asthma and chronic diseases [4].…”

In this study, we investigate the impact of Odd-Even rationing of vehicles plying on the roads of the National Capital city of Delhi, India on air pollution levels by considering both residential and industrial areas of Punajbi Bagh, R.K. Puram, Anand Vihar, Mandir Marg, NSIT Dwarka and Shadipur of the city and have analyzed its impact by employing event study technique and by utilizing daily data of NO 2 , SO 2 , O 3 , PM 10 and PM 2.5 . A ±15 day window has been considered for our analysis to assess the impact on air pollution levels pre-odd even rationing and post-odd even rationing and has statistically investigated whether this bold move by the State Government of Delhi has helped in the reduction of air pollution levels in the city or not. With the State Government considering implementing Odd-Even rationing permanently, the present study is intended to provide insights to policy makers to take an informed decision and also facilitate in implementing future policies for controlling air pollution levels in the city.

“…The generated byproducts (e.g., exhaust particles from automobiles, combustion particles, and heavy metals) have shown various negative effects in people and have seriously contaminated the air. Recently, air conditions in China are worsening because of industrialization, global warming, and air stagnation ( 1 ). Fine particles from vehicle exhaust and coal and biomass combustion, with diameters of less than 10 μM, are generally called PM10, and PM2.5 (particle with diameters less than 2.5 μM) called ultra-fine particles (UFPs).…”

Air pollution is increasing, along with consumption of fossil fuels such as coal and diesel gas. Air pollutants are known to be a major cause of respiratory-related illness and death, however, there are few reports on the genotoxic characterization of diverse air pollutants in Korea. In this study, we investigated the mutagenic activity of various particles such as diesel exhaust particles (DEP), combustion of rice straw (RSC), pine stem (PSC), and coal (CC), tunnel dust (TD), and road side dust (RD). Ultra-fine particles (UFPs) were collected by the glass fiber filter pad. Then, we performed a chemical analysis to see each of the component features of each particulate matter. The mutagenicity of various UFPs was determined by the Ames test with four Salmonella typhimurium strains with or without metabolic activation. The optimal concentrations of UFPs were selected based on result of a concentration decision test. Moreover, in order to compare relative mutagenicity among UFPs, we selected and tested DEP as mutation reference. DEP, RSC, and PSC induced concentration-dependent increases in revertant colony numbers with TA98, TA100, and TA1537 strains in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. DEP showed the highest specific activity among the particulate matters. In this study, we conclude that DEP, RSC, PSC, and TD displayed varying degrees of mutagenicity, and these results suggest that the mutagenicity of these air pollutants is associated with the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in these particulate matters.
