THREE EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT

Some of the largest studies of health effects related to fine particles were conducted with participation from healthy adults living in areas across the United States. In one of the first and most important of these community-based studies, a[r]

It has been estimated that around 50% of the world’s population (about 2.4 billion people) uses biomass fuel as the primary energy source for domestic cooking, heating and lighting. 30 Burning of biomass, which usually involves wood, crop resi- dues, and animal dung for c[r]

The objectives of this research can be summarized as follows: to investigate the effects of air temperature and outdoor air supply rate on work performance, to study the mediating factor[r]

Direct evidence that air pollution could trigger arrhythmia has been further assessed in studies of high-risk patients with implanted cardio- verter-defibrillators. In a pilot study, estimated community-acquired exposures to fine particu- late and other traffic-derived <[r]

POLLUTION
Pollution happens when chemicals that are harmful to living things get into the
environment . Chemicals that cause pollution are not easy to get rid of. They stay in the air , ground and water for a[r]

The regular assessment of a water source has been important for safety and pollution warning. Specifically, the concentration of trace elements in water reflects the pollution level. Urbanization, industrialization, fertilizers and other plant protection products have negatively affected the environ[r]

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN RADIATION ECOLOGY
The last several years have witnessed a major decrease of interest in, and hence support of, research in radiation ecol- ogy. In the United States the research programs and projects initiated primarily under the
