Assessment of Air Quality Impacts on Human Health and Vegetation at an Industrial Area

Selective decontamination of the reactive air pollutant nitrous acid via node-linker cooperativity in a metal–organic framework

“…3 The resultant poor air quality can negatively impact visibility, vegetation, and human health. [4][5][6] The presence of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere has a direct negative impact on both the environment (e.g., pollution) 7,8 and human health (e.g., cardiovascular and respiratory conditions). 4,[9][10][11] Indirectly, nitrogen dioxide can react further to form secondary pollutants that can be equally, if not more, dangerous to human health and the environment.…”

Status of Particulate (Pm10) and Gaseous Pollutants (No2, So2) in the Tirthan Valley of the Great Himalayan National Park, Himachal Pradesh, India.

“…There are number of diseases which are causing due to environmental factors such as air pollution (Cohen et al, 2017;Orioli et al, 2018). Studies on particulate matter less than 10-micron size show that these are responsible for many harmful health effects (Fang et al, 2017;Landrigan et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2018) and diseases like respiratory, skin, lung cancer and even cardiovascular problems (Yang et al, 2016;Ranjan et al, 2016;Dehghan et al, 2018) and many other diseases which are prominent due to pollutants. Besides particulate pollutants, their chemical compositions are also very harmful for the human beings (Panda and Nagendra, 2018; Manju et al, 2018), animals (Hippeli and Elstner, 1993;Lovett et al, 2009), wildlife and plant life (Hippeli and Elstner, 1993;Lovett et al, 2009).…”

Long-term Observation of Atmospheric Pollution in an Industrial Region in North-East Bulgaria during 2000-2015: Possibilities to Improve Air Quality

“…The hazard of developing cancer relates to the inhaling of benzene -its concentrations are higher during the winter months [19]. It has been established that the inhabitants of industrial areas have higher numbers of daily hospitalisations for respiratory and heart diseases, skin and eye disease, especially during the winter period -the concentrations of РМ 10 , РМ 2.5 , SO 2 and NO 2 are higher during the winter as compared to the summer [20,21]. When studying lung cancer rate in an industrial area in northern Spain, it was established that air pollution in this industrial area is a relatively low risk factor for lung cancer [22].…”
