Unanswered issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Association between air pollution and lung development in schoolchildren in China.
...Published in Journal of epidemiology and community health
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. Using wellness check and air pollution data from 2014 to 2017, we conducted a retrosp...
High Resolution Chemistry Transport Modeling with the On-Line CHIMERE-WRF Model over the French Alps—Analysis of a Feedb...
Air pollution is of major concern throughout the world and the use of modeling tools to analyze and forecast the pollutant concentrations in complex orographic areas remains challenging. This work proposes an exhaustive framework to analyze the ability of models to simulate the air quality over the French Alps up to 1.2 km resolution over Grenoble ...
Air pollution modeling and exposure assessment during pregnancy in the French Longitudinal Study of Children (ELFE)
...
We developed a nation-wide exposure model to NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 at a fine spatial and temporal resolution for France in order to study air pollutants exposure during pregnancy for the French Longitudinal Study of Children (ELFE). The exposure to air pollutants was estimated daily for years 2010 and 2011 by combining three simulation models at the ...
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...
What Can We Expect from Data Assimilation for Air Quality Forecast ? Part II : Analysis with a Semi-Real Case
Assimilation of observational data from ground stations and satellites has been identified as a technique to improve air quality model results. This study is an evaluation of the maximum benefit expected from data assimilation in chemical transport models. Various tests are performed under real meteorological conditions; the injection of various su...
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...
Distribution of 1000 free indoor air quality measurement kits to schools : kits as an alternative method proposed by the...
Since 2015, the regulation on indoor air quality monitoring in schools in France has been modified to provide an alternative method to systematic measurements by laboratory by using kits sold on the market. Local authorities and school directors are allowed to use kits by themselves. Before that, they must identify the sources of the suspected poll...
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...
