Abstract:

Air pollution, particularly from particulate matter (PM), is a significant public health risk, especially in urban environments where transportation plays a critical role. This study quantifies airborne particulate matter (PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10) concentrations at key transportation stations (Central and Shell Bus Stations) in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Multifunctional digital air quality monitors (DM502) were used to record measurements during the rainy season in August and at peak traffic hours, spanning three daily intervals: 7:00–11:00 AM, 12:00–4:00 PM, and 5:00–9:00 PM.

Abstract. As evidence of adverse health effects due to air pollution continues to increase, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently published its latest edition of the global air quality guidelines (World Health Organization, 2021). Although not legally binding, the guidelines aim to provide a framework in which policymakers can combat air pollution by formulating evidence-based air quality management strategies. In the light of this, the European Union has stated its intent to revise the current ambient air quality directive (2008/50/EC) to more closely resemble the newly published WHO g

Abstract:

A significant evidence base of epidemiological and toxicological studies has established a association between exposure to air pollution and adverse effects on human health. The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its global air quality guidelines (AQG 2021). Compared to 2005, the guidelines are stricter for particulate matter (PM), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2). These guidelines recommend that annual average concentrations of PM2.5, NO2 and O3 should not exceed 5 µg/m3, 10 µg/m3 and 60 µg/m3 respectively. There is a growing body of evidence that shows th

Abstract:

The existence of indoor air pollutants—such as ozone, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and total volatile organic compounds—is evidently a critical issue for human health. Over the past decade, various international agencies have continually refined and updated the quantitative air quality guidelines and standards in order to meet the requirements for indoor air quality management. This paper first provides a systematic review of the existing air quality guidelines and standards implemented by different agencies, which include the Ambient A

As no toxicity value for PM10 was available, for the calculation of the hazard quotient, the toxicity value was considered to be equal to the annual limit value (40 µm/m3) set in the European Union (EU), and to air quality guidelines (20 µm/m3) set by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Higher PM concentrations were observed mainly at urban sites (e.g., up to 156 exceedances of the WHO PM2.5 guideline for daily average concentrations were recorded in a year), with the main contributions being from traffic emissions and industrial activities.

Abstract:

The Brazilian population grew approximately 9% from 2006 to 2016, and the number of deaths caused by air pollution increased by 14% in Brazil in the same period. Facing the lack of studies on air quality in the Metropolitan Area of Belo Horizonte (MABH)—the third most populous Brazilian metropolitan area—this study aimed to investigate the air quality and the trends of air pollutant concentrations in the MABH between 1995 and 2022, using data from the air quality monitoring network. The methodology consisted of checking MABHs air quality trends following the WHO air quality guidelines. The Man

<strong><em>Abstract</em></strong> <em>One of our era’s greatest scourges is air pollution, on account not only of its impact on climate change but also its impact on public and individual health due to increasing morbidity and mortality.  Increased combustion of fossil fuels in the last century is responsible for the progressive change in the atmospheric composition.  Air pollution can harm human health, the environment, and cause property damage. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 90% of the population in the world lives in highly polluted environments which ex

Abstract:

In Brazil, increasing air pollution in urban areas has led to a rise in respiratory diseases among children and the elderly and has also been the main cause of hospital admissions. This study aims to evaluate the air pollution levels in Vitória, capital of Espírito Santo State, Brazil, in comparison to Brazilian legislation and recent World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, analyzing the spatial distribution of asthma cases treated at local outpatient services. A descriptive epidemiological study was performed with daily records on air pollution and outpatient treatment for respiratory dis

Abstract:

Children spend the majority of their time indoors, and a substantial portion of this time in the school environment. Air pollution has been shown to adversely impact lung development and has effects that extend beyond respiratory health. The goal of this study was to evaluate the indoor environment in public schools in the context of an ongoing urban renovation program to investigate the impact of school building renovation and replacement on indoor air quality. Indoor air quality (CO2, PM2.5, CO, and temperature) was assessed for two weeks during fall, winter, and spring seasons in 29 urban p

Abstract:

- In current scenario, where individuals spend the majority of their time indoors, the quality of the indoor air has become increasingly crucial. This research paper investigates the role of optimizing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) as a proactive strategy for mitigating Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) within built environments. It examines the relationship between indoor air quality (IAQ) and Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in workplace settings and explores strategies for enhancing IAQ to mitigate SBS symptoms. Indoor air quality (IAQ) significantly impacts human health and well-being, with implications

Abstract:

Air pollution is a recent public health issue. In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) published updated air quality guidelines for a number of air pollutants (including PM10 and PM2.5), which recommended for particulate matter annual average concentration levels at half or less the limit values set by European legislation. In the European Union, around 80% of the European urban population is exposed to air pollution above the levels recommended by the WHO guidelines. Only in 2015 the WHO addressed for the first time the topic of the health impacts of air pollution in its general assembly

Abstract:

Purpose – Vehicular air pollution in Bangkok poses a significant threat to public health and environmental quality. This study aims to analyze the acceptance of air pollution control measures among Bangkok residents by considering key demographic factors and public awareness. It also seeks to recommend a comprehensive management strategy to effectively address the issue. Methodology – A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The quantitative phase involved a survey of 402 individuals who use either private vehicles or public transpo

Abstract:

The air quality around Garri factories in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, was checked to see how much airborne particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) was being released. The use of “different kinds” of flammable materials as fuel has made these emissions a problem. We randomly selected five locations (L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5) and took meteorological measurements (temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity). Carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOₓ), and oxides of sulphur (SOₓ) concentrations were checked at the sites to see how they compared to the WHO and EGASPIN Guidelines for air pollution. We
