Association between air pollution and lung development in schoolchildren in China
...Published in Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health
Background China has been facing nationwide air pollution at unprecedented high levels primarily from fossil–fuel combustion in the past decade. However, few studies have been conducted on the adverse effect of severe air pollution on lung development in school-age children. Methods Using wellness check and air pollution data from 2014 to 2017, we ...
Biomass structure of Pinus sylvestris and Betula pendula forest ecosystems in pollution gradient near copper plant on th...
In the gradient of pollution from the Karabash copper smelter in the Southern Urals (55 degrees 29' N, 60 degrees 13' E) in predominantly pure Scots pine and white birch stands, 12 and 34 sample plots are established, respectively, on which 42 and 56 model trees are taken, respectively, by stein diameter. The pollution gradient is expressed by the ...
О продуктивности ассимиляционного аппарата древостоев в градиенте загрязнений от Карабашского медеплавильного комбината:...
Проблема загрязнения окружающей среды стоит в ряду важнейших экологических проблем, связанных с антропогенным воздействием на биосферу. Интегральным показателем, отражающим природное и антропогенное воздействия на лесные экосистемы, является их биологическая продуктивность, определяемая методами «весовой» лесной таксации. Её оценка выходит в настоя...
Black Carbon Reduces the Beneficial Effect of Physical Activity on Lung Function.
...Published in Medicine and science in sports and exercise
When physical activity is promoted in urban outdoor settings (e.g., walking and cycling), individuals are also exposed to air pollution. It has been reported that short-term lung function increases as a response to physical activity, but this beneficial effect is hampered when elevated air pollution concentrations are observed. Our study assessed t...
A necessary distinction between spatial representativeness of an air quality monitoring station and the delimitation of ...
Published in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
The European legislation on ambient air quality introduces the concepts of spatial representativeness of a monitoring station and spatial extent of an exceedance zone. Spatial representativeness is an essential macro-scale siting criterion which should be evaluated before the setting-up and during the life of a monitoring point. As for the exceedan...

To evaluate exposure to environmental factors inhaled during pregnancy and after birth until juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) diagnosis among residents of a large city. This is an exploratory case-control study that consists of 66 patients with JIA and 124 healthy controls matched by age and sex, living in the São Paulo, Brazil, metropolitan are...

A polynomial approximation of the traffic contributions for kriging-based interpolation of urban air quality model
The European directives for ambient air quality require to assess areas where air pollutant concentrations exceed a regulatory threshold. As the spatial distribution of the pollutant is not exactly known, deterministic atmospheric dispersion models are commonly used to supplement the observational network. To reduce the computational time, the simu...
First outcomes of the fairmode & aquila intercomparison exercise on spatial representativeness
...
We are presenting an initial evaluation of the outcomes of the FAIRMODE & AQUILA intercomparison exercise (IE) on spatial representativeness (SR). To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first attempt to quantitatively compare the range of methods used for estimating the spatial representativeness of air quality monitoring stations in...
