In recent years, urban air quality in developing countries such as Nigeria has continued to degenerate and this has constituted a major environmental risk to human health. It has been shown that an increase in ambient particulate matter... more
Particulate matter (PM) is classified as one of the most dangerous air pollutants which cause numerous adverse health effects. Prolonged exposure to high PM concentrations can lead to se-rious health complications and severe chronic... more
Background, aim, and scope Life cycle analyses (LCA) approaches require adaptation to reflect the increasing delocalization of production to emerging countries. This work addresses this challenge by establishing a country-level, spatially... more
Current shrimp pond management practices generally result in elevated concentrations of nutrients, suspended solids, bacteria and phytoplankton compared with the influent water. Concerns about adverse environmental impacts caused by... more
A field campaign was performed simultaneously at five measurement sites, having different characteristics, to characterize the spatial distribution of the carbonaceous content in atmospheric aerosol in Southern Italy during the winter... more
The removal of carpets in homes in response to asthmatic responses in children or allergen avoidance has been recommended by many medical practitioners. This study looks at an alternative to removal and examines the concentration of... more
The recent introduction of new vacuum cleaning technologies and systems is largely due to heightened awareness of the health effects associated with particulate matter, bacteria and fungi on interior flooring. Health effects and symptoms... more
Τhe extreme weather conditions in Middle East Area led to the construction of tightly sealed, air conditioned buildings, characterized by indoor air quality deterioration. This study presents the results of chemical characterization of... more
There is growing interest in the possible association between maternal exposure to air pollutants and reproductive outcomes, particularly birth weight and gestational duration. Four systematic reviews of data were published in 2004-2005,... more
Composition of dust transported locally, regionally, and globally has influences on human health, ecosystem functioning, and biogeochemical cycling. This study aimed to characterize differences between dust and soil samples at a dust... more
The present study was conducted from July 1, 2020 to September 25, 2020 in a dedicated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospital in Delhi, India to provide evidence for the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2... more
Air pollutants pose a threat to biodiversity throughout the world. This study was conducted to evaluate atmospheric element accumulation in Isparta city, including Gölcük Nature Park, located in the Western Mediterranean Region of Turkey.... more
Ammonia is a key alkaline species, playing an important role by neutralizing atmospheric acidity and inorganic secondary aerosol production. On the other hand, the NH3/NH4+ increases the acidity and eutrophication in natural ecosystems,... more
Recent studies have reported soiling defects and health hazard caused by particulate matter, poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) conditions, and damages caused by varying microclimate conditions in the museum. When airborne particulates combine... more
The most important tobacco-specific nitrosamine found in cigarette smoke and formed in ageing smoke after cigarettes are extinguished is 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK). It is formed from nitrosation of nicotine,... more
