Abstract:
Active transport to or from school presents an opportunity for adolescents to engage in daily physical activity. Multiple factors influence whether adolescents actively travel to/from school. Creating safe walking and cycling routes to school is a promising strategy to increase rates of active transport. This article presents a comprehensive conceptual framework for modelling safe walking and cycling routes to high schools. The framework has been developed based on several existing relevant frameworks including (a) ecological models, (b) the “Five Es” (engineering, education, enforcement, encouragement, and evaluation) framework of transport planning, and (c) a travel mode choice framework for school travel. The framework identifies built environment features (land use mix, pedestrian/cycling infrastructure, neighbourhood aesthetics, and accessibility to local facilities) and traffic safety factors (traffic volume and speed, safe road crossings, and quality of path surface) to be considered when modelling safe walking/cycling routes to high schools. Future research should test this framework using real-world data in different geographical settings and with a combination of tools for the assessment of both macro-scale and micro-scale built environment features. To be effective, the modelling and creation of safe routes to high schools should be complemented by other interventions, including education, enforcement, and encouragement in order to minimise safety concerns and promote active transport.

Abstract:
Background:Active transportation to school provides an important way for children to meet physical activity recommendations. The “walking school bus” (WSB) is a strategy whereby adults walk with a group of children to and from school along a fixed route. This study assessed whether school-organized WSB programs varied by school characteristics, district policies, and state laws.Methods:School data were gathered by mail-back surveys in nationally representative samples of U.S. public elementary schools during the 2008−2009 and 2009−2010 school years (n = 632 and 666, respectively). Corresponding district policies and state laws were obtained.Results:Nationwide, 4.2% of schools organized a WSB program during 2008−2009, increasing to 6.2% by 2009−2010. Controlling for demographic covariates, schools were more likely to organize a WSB program where there was a strong district policy pertaining to safe active routes to school (OR = 2.14, P < .05), or a state law requiring crossing guards around schools (OR = 2.72, P < .05).Conclusions:WSB programs are not common but district policies and state laws are associated with an increased likelihood of elementary schools organizing these programs. Policymaking efforts may encourage schools to promote active transportation.

Abstract:
Thousands of communities across America now promote walking and biking (active commuting) to school as a mechanism to increase physical activity, reduce traffic congestion, and improve air quality. Distance to school and attributes of the built environment are crucial factors in a child’s mode choice, and some of the most difficult determinants to influence with programmatic interventions. Further understanding the built environment’s role may help in assessing a school’s mode shift potential and more effectively planning and implementing strategies that increase walking and biking to school. Based on a student travel behavior survey of 18,713 responses from 105 schools in Massachusetts, a multilevel model was used to investigate the effects of route, neighborhood, and school characteristics on walking to school. The model results indicate that the built environment affects the odds of walking to school. Specifically, short routes along less-trafficked streets with mixed land use are associated with the increased odds of children walking to school. Investigating these built environment characteristics of the route, neighborhood, and school through a multilevel model, the study created a framework for examining between-school differences in walk-to-school rates, while controlling for built environment factors of the school and student body. A potential application for this work is to compare walk-to-school rates across heterogeneous schools and contextualize schools’ baseline walk share, set appropriate and measurable mode shift goals, and track their progress over time.

Abstract:
Despite growing research supporting the impact of the built environment on active school transport (AST), distance persists as the most powerful predictor of walking and biking to school. There is a need to better understand how environmental features interact with distance to affect AST, and whether the influence of environmental factors persist across different distance thresholds. Multilevel models using cluster-robust standard errors were used to examine for interactions between objectively measured macroscale environmental features and several reported distances from home to school (up to ¼, ¼ up to ½, ½ up to 1, 1+ miles) on the likelihood of parent reported AST for children grades 3–8 (n = 2751) at 35 schools who completed a Safe Routes to School Parent Survey about Walking and Biking to School (SRTS Parent Survey). An interaction between both intersection density and food-related land use with distance was observed. The likelihood of AST decreased as intersection density and distance increased (i.e., 31.0% reduced odds among those living within ¼ mile compared to 18.2% using ½–1-mile criterion). The likelihood of using AST were reduced as food-related land use and distance increased (i.e., 43.67% reduced odds among those living under ¼ mile compared to 19.83% reduced odds among those living ½–1 mile). Programs and infrastructure improvements focused on overcoming environmental barriers to promote AST may be most effective when targeting neighborhoods within ¼ mile of schools.

Abstract:
An extensive literature examines the usefulness of “Safe Routes to Schools programs” to encourage active travel (walking and cycling) to school, thereby increasing physical activity with all its benefits for mental and physical health, mainly in the Global North. This article reports on an adaptation for vulnerable schools in several Chilean cities (2016-2019). This change of context transformed the program, which focused on gender, civic education, and rights as central to to a just, sustainable transport system. “Sustainable transport” is an ecology of modes that improves connections among walking, cycling and public transport. “Transport justice” becomes central in an unequal country such as Chile, focus on gender, civic education and rights. During the first experience in co-design, with students, they changed the name, rejecting “safe” and insisting on “bakan”, a Chilean term for “cool”. The results included changes in attitudes, skills and visions. The resulting program, Kool Routes, improves physical activity, but above all influences the social determinants of health. It has proven to be a relatively simple way of dealing with the complexity of the challenges inherent in achieving sustainable development goals for cities in the 21st century.

Abstract:
There is currently a trend towards an increase in the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in inclusive schools. Thus, the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in inclusive schools is growing. This is caused both by significant changes in the legal regulatory framework, including the 2012 Federal Law on Education, the adoption of the Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education for Children with Special Needs, etc. and by the fact that in some regions the number of specialized schools is decreasing, inclusive education becomes a more affordable option for children with special education needs. School specialists, parents, and the public engage in an active dialogue about choosing the most efficient path for an educational route for special needs children, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of inclusive and special education. The design and implementation of an individual educational route, an individual curriculum is essential for children with special needs in terms of improving the quality of education and efficiently entering social life. The relevance of the study is determined by identifying the components that facilitate and complicate, hinder the development and implementation of an individual educational route for these children in an educational organization; the determination of the content of an individual educational route based on the current situation in a practical institution considering the requirements of inclusive education. The purpose of the study is to explore the problems of developing and implementing individual educational routes for children with special needs in the context of inclusion and to determine ways to solve these problems. The key methods of the study are a questionnaire and a structured interview. The empirical data confirms the assumption that the development and implementation of an individual educational route for children with special needs in an educational organization are problematic and inefficient for several reasons. The data obtained is new since similar research results have not been found in the open sources over the past five years.

Abstract:
Background:In the United States, promoting active transportation to school has received increased attention as a means of encouraging physical activity and preventing obesity among youth. However, little systematic evaluation of existing programs such as Walk to School (WTS) has occurred.Methods:WTS coordinators from across the United States were surveyed (via Web, mail, and telephone) about program activities, school and environmental characteristics, and perceived changes in children walking to school. As an exploratory aim, logistic-regression analyses were used to examine program characteristics associated with perceived increases in children walking.Results:From a database of 783 coordinators, 493 usable surveys were returned. Almost all respondents (98.2%) participated in a 1-day WTS event. Other common activities included promotional activities (72.7%), safety trainings (49.6%), walkability audits (48.5%), and designated safe walking routes (46.5%). As part of their WTS efforts, 24.4% made policy changes and 38.4% made changes to the physical environment. Logistic-regression analyses showed that policy changes, physical environment improvements, and number of activities were associated with the largest perceived increased in children walking to school.Conclusions:These findings help address the gap in knowledge about schools’ participation in WTS programs, and strategies are suggested to increase active transportation to school.

Abstract:
This Integrated Learning Experience (ILE) investigates literature regarding the impact of national Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs and takes a deeper dive into the lessons that can be learned from North Carolina’s Active Routes to School (NC ARTS) programs through an analysis of data collected from 2007 to 2019. This report is focused on understanding the relationship between and among variables included in the Six Es of SRTS framework: Education, Engineering, Encouragement, Enforcement, Equity, and Evaluation. This investigation provides insight that extends understanding of parental comfort and engagement with these programs. A unique theoretical model was developed as were recommendations for future research in the areas of parental engagement, social norming, and the need for engaging low-wealth communities. Additionally, a community-based social marketing product was developed to improve parental attitudes toward independent active travel for older elementary-, middle school-, and high school-aged children.

Abstract:
This thesis intends to demonstrate how capital infrastructure investments can be targeted objectively, using the "Safe Routes to School" (SRTS) program for context. SRTS impacts physical activity, a determinant of childhood obesity by encouraging children’s regular active transportation use. This thesis supports the widespread implementation of SRTS and has developed the "Shelling Model" to objectively identify schools for programming. Accordingly, the "Shelling Model" aims to objectively identify physical and socio-economic environment variables impacting HISD-E middle school neighborhoods’ walkability. The "Shelling Model" is a first step in creating a walkability index for which pedestrian orientation levels can be identified and schools targeted. This model facilitates the identification of variables, providing insight into neighborhood walkability levels. Revealed by statistically significant variables, in combination with Walkscore and Catchment regression models’ respective 45.5 and 13.6 Adjusted R-Square values, the "Shelling" archetype proves a useful tool for investigating the walkability of HISD-E middle school neighborhoods.

Abstract:
Many communities are promoting physical activity and active transportation as ways to combat childhood obesity and change sedentary lifestyles of school-age children. Safe Routes to School Youth Voices is a mixed methods approach to understanding the experiences and perceptions of middle school students surrounding the use of active transportation. Student experiences are explored both independently and in comparison to parental perspectives of barriers to actives transportation. Data were collected in the form of parent surveys, observations, student interviews, and student focus groups. This study aims to answer the following primary research questions: (1) What are the conditions experienced along the route? (2) What are the students' perceptions of barriers to active transportation? (3) What are the compensation practices that students take to overcome barriers? and (4) How do the students' perceptions compare with their parents? Interviews and focus groups were transcribed and coded using in-vivo, descriptive, structural and pattern methods. Primary themes which emerged include how conditions of walking to school, personal safety, compensation practices, and systematic barriers all affect the perceptions of active transportation of the student. Findings highlight the difficulties many students face when considering active transportation, and discuss the inconsistencies between student experience, parental perceptions, and intervention goals.

Abstract:
The development of novel bio-based materials with antimicrobial properties for active packaging applications is a topic of significant interest. The current PhD thesis deals with the development of biotechnologically derived polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) based on nanometals for antimicrobial active food packaging applications. Initially, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were produced by chemical reduction and stabilized in situ within unpurified poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate), PHBV18 (18 mol% valerate) suspensions previously obtained from mixed microbial cultures. The stabilized AgNPs were subsequently used to develop PHAs-AgNPs nanocomposites following two different strategies: 1) a direct melt-blending process where the AgNPs were added to the PHBV3 (3% mol valerate) from a highly dispersed and distributed enriched masterbatch form and, 2) as an annealed electrospun coating of PHBV3/PHBV18/AgNPs over compression molded PHBV3. The implementation of both strategies resulted in active nanocomposites with strong antimicrobial activity against food-borne pathogens, being the electrospinning coating technique the most efficient one in reducing the bacterial and virus population, even at very low AgNPs loading (from 0.002 to 0.04% wt.). As an alternative route, an integrated bioprocess for the biological synthesis of AgNPs and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from the fermentation process with Cupriavidus necator was also carried out. Interestingly, this work demonstrated for the first time, the inherent capacity of C. necator to reduce silver nitrate and produce AgNPs without the need for adding a reducing agent. The process was successfully optimized and scaled-up to a fully automated 10 liters bioreactor. Finally, because of the limitations of the use of AgNPs in food applications, antimicrobial PHAs films based on zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were prepared according to the previously developed strategies but in this case, a melt-mixing process of preincorporated ZnO into unpurified PHBV18 fiber mats made by electrospinning was also carried out to stabilize the metal nanoparticles. The effect of ZnO nanoparticles morphology and the method of ZnO/CuO incorporation on the morphological, optical, thermal, mechanical and barrier properties of the resulting active films as well as their influence on the antimicrobial (bactericide and virucidal) performance were studied. Thus, this PhD thesis represents a significant step forward in the understanding of the antimicrobial efficacy of highly dispersed and distributed nanometals and highlights the suitability of the developed PHAs/nanometals materials for antimicrobial applications and in particular for antimicrobial active food packaging applications.
El desarrollo de nuevos biomateriales con propiedades antimicrobianas para aplicaciones de envasado activo resulta un tema de gran interés en la actualidad. La presente tesis doctoral estudia el desarrollo por vía biotecnológica de polihidroxialcanoatos (PHAs) conteniendo nanometales para aplicaciones de envasado activo antimicrobiano de alimentos. En primer lugar, se produjeron nanopartículas de plata (AgNPs) por reducción química y se estabilizaron in situ en una suspensión de poli (hidroxibutirato-co-hidroxivalerato) no purificado, PHBV18 (18% en moles de valerato), obtenido previamente a partir de cultivos mixtos microbianos. Posteriormente, las AgNPs estabilizadas se utilizaron para desarrollar nanocompuestos de PHAs-AgNPs siguiendo dos estrategias diferentes: 1) un proceso de mezclado-fundido en donde las AgNPs se añadieron al PHBV3 (3% mol de valerato) a partir de un masterbatch de nanopartículas altamente dispersas y distribuidas y, 2) como una estructura bicapa formada por un recubrimiento a base de PHBV/PHBV18/AgNPs depositado sobre un film de PHBV3 obtenido por moldeo por compresión. La aplicación de ambas estrategias dio lugar a nanocompuestos activos con una fuerte actividad antimicrobiana frente a patógenos transmitidos por los alimentos, siendo la estructura bicapa la más eficaz en la reducción de la población bacteriana y viral, incluso a una carga muy baja de AgNPs (de 0.002 a 0.04% en peso). Como ruta alternativa, también se llevó a cabo un proceso integrado de fermentación con Cupriavidus necator para la síntesis biológica de AgNPs y polihidroxibutirato (PHB). En este trabajo se demostró, por primera vez, la capacidad inherente de C. necator para reducir nitrato de plata y producir AgNPs sin la necesidad de añadir un agente reductor. El proceso fue optimizado y escalado satisfactoriamente a un biorreactor automatizado de 10 litros. Finalmente, debido a las limitaciones del uso de AgNPs en aplicaciones alimentarias, se prepararon films antimicrobianos de PHAs basados en nanopartículas de óxido de zinc (ZnO) y óxido de cobre (CuO) de acuerdo con las estrategias previamente desarrolladas. Adicionalmente, ambas estrategias se compararon con una tercera basada en la preincorporación de ZnO en fibras de PHBV18 no purificado y su posterior mezclado-fundido con polímero virgen. Se estudió el efecto de la morfología de las nanopartículas de ZnO y del método de incorporación de ZnO/CuO sobre las propiedades morfológicas, ópticas, térmicas, mecánicas y de barrera de los films activos resultantes, así como su influencia en el comportamiento antimicrobiano (bactericida y virucida). Por lo tanto, esta tesis doctoral representa un avance significativo en la comprensión de la eficacia antimicrobiana de nanometales altamente dispersos y distribuidos y destaca la idoneidad de los materiales desarrollados a base de PHAs y nanometales para aplicaciones antimicrobianas y, en particular, para aplicaciones de envasado de alimentos activos antimicrobianos.
El desenvolupament de nous materials d'origen biològic amb propietats antimicrobianes per a aplicacions d'envasament actiu és un tema d'interès significatiu. La tesi doctoral actual s'ocupa del desenvolupament de polihidroxialcanoats (PHA) reforçats amb nanometals per via biotecnològicament per a aplicacions d'envasat actiu antimicrobià d'aliments. Inicialment, les nanopartícules de plata (AgNPs) van ser produïdes per reducció química i estabilitzades in situ dins en suspensions de poli (hidroxibutirato-co-hidroxivalerato) sense purificar, PHBV18 (18 mol% de valerat), prèviament obtinguts a partir de cultius mixtes microbians. Las AgNPs estabilitzades es van usar posteriorment per a desenvolupar nanocompostos de PHA's- AgNPs seguint dues estratègies diferents: 1) Procés directe de barreja en fusió que no utilitza dissolvents orgànics o estabilitzants addicionals i on es van afegir les AgNPs al PHBV3 (3% mol valerato) a partir d¿un masterbath on estaven perfectament disperses i distribuïdes 2) com una estructura bicapa formada per un recobriment de PHBV3 / PHBV18/AgNPS que es deposita sobre un film de PHBV3 obtingut per modelat per compressió. L'aplicació d'ambdues estratègies va donar lloc a nanocompostos actius amb una forta activitat antibacteriana enfront de patògens transmesos pels aliments, sent l'estructura de doble capa la més eficaç en la reducció de la població bacteriana i viral, fins i tot a una càrrega molt baixa de AgNPs (de 0.002-0.04% en pes). Com ruta alternativa, també es va dur a terme un procés integrat de fermentació amb Cupriavidus necator per a la síntesi biològica de AgNPs i polihidroxibutirato (PHB). En aquest treball es demostra, per primera vegada, la capacitat inherent de C. necator per reduir la sal de plata i produir AgNPs sense la necessitat d'afegir un agent reductor. El procés va ser optimitzat i escalat satisfactòriament a un bioreactor de 10 litres. Finalment, a causa de les limitacions de l'ús de nanopartícules de plata en aplicacions alimentàries, es van preparar films antimicrobians de PHA que incorporessin nanopartícules d'òxid de zinc (ZnO) i òxid de coure (CuO) d'acord amb les estratègies prèviament desenvolupades. Les dues estratègies es van comparar amb una tercera basada en la preincorporació de ZnO en fibres de PHBV18 no purificat i aquestes fibres es van barrejar posteriorment amb polímer verge. Es va estudiar l'efecte de la morfologia de les nanopartícules de ZnO i el mètode de la incorporació de ZnO/CuO sobre les propietats morfològiques, òptiques, tèrmiques, mecàniques i de barrera dels films actius resultants, així com la seva influència en el comportament antimicrobià (bactericida i virucida). Per tant, aquesta tesi doctoral representa un pas endavant significatiu en la comprensió de l'eficàcia antimicrobiana de nanometales altament dispersos i distribuïts i posa en relleu la idoneïtat dels materials desenvolupats basats en PHAs i nanometals per a aplicacions antimicrobianes i, en particular, per a aplicacions d'envasat d'aliments actius antimicrobians.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine parents’ motivational beliefs for involvement in a Comprehensive School Health approach (locally called Healthy Active Schools, or HAS) at their child’s school. Literature suggests that parents’ role construction and parents’ self-efficacy are the most salient influences on parents’ decision to become involved at their child’s school. Twelve parents involved at two urban public elementary schools were interviewed. Questions were based on Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler’s model of parental involvement (1995, 1997, 2005c). Qualitative multiple case study analysis additionally utilized Penner’s (2002) model of sustained volunteerism and Bandura’s collective efficacy theory (1997, 2000; Goddard, Hoy, & Woolfolk-Hoy, 2004) to clarify findings. Results suggest most parents’ strong active role construction and negative valence grounded their parent-focused role orientation. School case study analysis revealed that the principal’s leadership, the structure of the HAS committee and the school’s climate uniquely influenced parents’ beliefs. Individual parent case analysis revealed four distinct patterns of parents’ motivational beliefs for HAS involvement. Future research is warranted to further examine the decisive impact of parents’ health and prosocial values on their decision to become involved specific to a CSH approach type of involvement. Additional case studies in local schools, school districts and provinces are recommended to illuminate unique contextual influences and the potential for the emergence of collective efficacy; including consideration for parents’ belief construct general invitations from the school would contribute to gaining a deeper understanding within this domain. Finally, the link between parents’ motivational beliefs of empowerment and their sustained motivation for involvement needs to be explored further.

Abstract:
Active citizenship became a research issue for adult learning and education in 1995 when the Council of Ministers decided to make 1996 the Year of Lifelong Learning. Moreover, the Lisbon programme, in the year 2000, reinforced the relevance of the issue and, along with employability, connected it to lifelong learning. That is why since 2001 comparative adult learning and education researchers have put a specific focus on analysing active citizenship and bridging it to adult learning. For this very reason, a distinguished Comparative Working Group was formed at the 2019 Winter School of the Erasmus+ Intall project—on the one hand, to collect different national/regional and local narratives and understandings of active citizenship and, on the other, to gather examples, good practices, formations of active citi-zens, or trajectories of how to learn for active citizenship as routes and processes of lifelong learning. The same Winter School comparative group tried to analyse the similarities and differences collected in an effort to relate them to existing theoretical frames offered by key authors on the topic, including Baert, Jansen, Jarvis, Johnston, Wildemeeersch, and others. This paper discusses the experiences of the comparative working group and formulates some special conclusions and comments for further actions of comparative studies in adult learning and education.

Abstract:
Active breaks have received great attention both among teachers and researchers and are used by those who pursuit to take advantage of all its benefits. Because of these benefits, many teachers or schools have incorporated active breaks into their daily classroom routines. However, to the authors' knowledge, there is not any program aimed entirely at preschool age. Also, the type of activities proposed in these programs are mostly mechanic with low cognitive engagement while some authors argue that cognitively engaging physical activity is more beneficial for cognitive and academic performance than mechanic activities. For these reasons, this chapter proposes a new active break program aimed at preschool children. This program, entitled “Move Your Brain,” will be composed of physical activities with inherent cognitive demands to challenge the children's brains.

Abstract:
At present, more than 50% of children live in big cities. But with the increasing number of motor vehicles and shrinking public spaces , children have less and less opportunities for outdoor activities, resulting in obesity and sub-health problems. Therefore, it is very important to build children-friendly public spaces in metropolis. This study takes the Shanghai,china as an example.Firstly,through questionnaires,it is found that ensuring the safe movement of children and inspiring their spontaneous activities are key points to build children-friendly public spaces. Meanwhile, The public spaces near the home are the most used environment by children. Therefore, open spaces in metropolis areas need to be planned carefully for children near their homes. Then it is way much better to make sure children's places of daily life, such as homes, schools, green spaces, sports venues and so on, can be connected in a safe path. Secondly, for building the safe path for children ,the safety of each spot along the path is analyzed by SP method, which is a mathematical algorithm , in order to find the risk factors and to avoid them in the future. Then we establish the action plan of "line space + point space" to build the children-friendly urban public space system. Line space refers to meeting the basic safety space needs of children through the improvement of the routes to school, including reducing the impact of motor vehicles, safe road facilities, and enhancing road lighting system. "Point space" refers to the promotion of children's outdoor activities through the arrangement of multi-level outdoor children's playgrounds and green spaces, including safe green parks, security platforms and so on. Finally, it is hoped that the "Safety Line Space + Interesting Point Space" plan will establish a safe and inspiring path for children to travel, linking home, school, green space and sports venues, which they use mostly in their daily life. Then we can ensure the safe movement of children and inspire children's spontaneous games in big cities for a children-friendly goal

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to design a model that allows to suggest new planning proposals on school transport, so that greater efficiency operational will be achieved. It is a multi-objective optimization problem including the minimization of the cost of busing and minimizes the total travel time of all students. The foundation of the model is the planning routes made by bus due to changes in the starting time in schools, so the buses are able to perform more than one route. The methodology is based on the School Bus Routing Problem, so that routes from different schools within a given time window are connected, and within the restrictions of the problem, the system costs are minimized. The proposed model is programmed to be applied in any generic case. This is a multi-objective problem, in which there will be several possible solutions, depending on the weight to be assigned to each of the variables involved, economic point of view versus social point of view. Therefore, the proposed model is helpful for policy planning school transportation, supporting the decision making under conditions of economic and social efficiency. The model has been applied in some schools located in an area of Cantabria (Spain), resulting in 71 possible optimal options that minimize the cost of school transport between 2,7% and 35,1% regarding to the current routes of school transport, with different school start time and minimum travel time for students.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.4074

Abstract:
To promote active transportation modes (such as bike ride and walking), and to create safer communities for easier access to transit, it is essential to provide consolidated data-driven transportation information to the public. The relevant and timely information from data facilitates the improvement of decision-making processes for the establishment of public policy and urban planning for sustainable growth, and for promoting public health in the region. For the characterization of the spatial variation of transportation-emitted air pollution in the Fresno/Clovis neighborhood in California, various species of particulate matters emitted from traffic sources were measured using real-time monitors and GPS loggers at over 100 neighborhood walking routes within 58 census tracts from the previous research, Children’s Health to Air Pollution Study - San Joaquin Valley (CHAPS-SJV). Roadside air pollution data show that PM2.5, black carbon, and PAHs were significantly elevated in the neighborhood walking air samples compared to indoor air or the ambient monitoring station in the Central Fresno area due to the immediate source proximity. The simultaneous parallel measurements in two neighborhoods which are distinctively different areas (High diesel High poverty vs. Low diesel Low poverty) showed that the higher pollution levels were observed when more frequent vehicular activities were occurring around the neighborhoods. Elevated PM2.5 concentrations near the roadways were evident with a high volume of traffic and in regions with more unpaved areas. Neighborhood walking air samples were influenced by immediate roadway traffic conditions, such as encounters with diesel trucks, approaching in close proximity to freeways and/or busy roadways, passing cigarette smokers, and gardening activity. The elevated black carbon concentrations occur near the highway corridors and regions with high diesel traffic and high industry. This project provides consolidated data-driven transportation information to the public including: 1. Transportation-related particle pollution data 2. Spatial analyses of geocoded vehicle emissions 3. Neighborhood characterization for the built environment such as cities, buildings, roads, parks, walkways, etc.
