Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSafety Health Impacts of Particulate Matter from Excavation Work SitesGiuseppe Pizzo, Marina ClericoEpidemiological studies have shown a linear relationship between airborne particulates and effects on human health. This study examines the risk that can be run by populations which are exposed to significant pollutant sources such as excavation in urban areas for renovation work. The health risk assessment methodology defined by the WHO air quality guidelines for Europe was applied to assess … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Jul 2012 · 7,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal ARIMA for Forecasting Air Pollution Index: A Case StudyMuhammad Hisyam Lee, Nur Haizum Abd. Rahman, Suhartono et al.Problem statement: Both developed and developing countries are the major reason that affects the world environment quality. In that case, without limit or warning, this pollution may affect human health, agricultural, forest species and ecosystems. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the monthly and seasonal variations of Air Pollution Index (API) at all monitoring stations in Johor. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 14 Feb 2012 · 10,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariation of Surface Ozone Recorded at the Eastern Coastal Region of the Malaysian PeninsulaAida Shafawati Ismail, Mohd Talib Latif, Siti Zawiyah Azmi et al.Problem statement: Variations of ozone (O3) concentrations in the Eastern Coastal Region of the Malaysia peninsula were investigated using data obtained from the Malaysian Department of the Environment. The aim of this study was to determine the monthly and seasonal variations of ozone concentrations at all monitoring sites. This study deals with the air quality data recorded at four air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,072 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Community Health Risks: Proactive Vs Reactive SamplingSarah Taylor, Chelsea Papadopoulos, Sarah Vieillet, Peter Di MarcoProblem statement: A considerable number of native birds died in the West Australian coastal town of Esperance and surroundings during late 2006 and early 2007, which raised community concerns about environmental contamination. Forensic investigations of dead birds suggested that lead may have been the causative agent. At the time, lead and nickel, as well as iron ore and other materials, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,840 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview of Photochemical Smog Pollution in Jakarta Metropolitan, IndonesiaDollaris R. Suhadi, M. Awang, M. N. Hassan et al.An analysis of photochemical smog pollution in Jakarta was attempted using data from the existing air quality monitoring stations. Ground-level ozone potential is high in Jakarta due to the high traffic emissions of ozone precursors and the favorable surface meteorological conditions. Despite the frequent missing data during the 1996-1999 monitoring, which resulted in lower ozone values, ozone episodes were significantly … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPrimary Pollutants Monitoring and Modeling Using Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) Around Fahaheel Residential AreaS. M. Al-Salem, A. A. Al-Haddad, A. R. KhanFour major sources of air pollution were identified and modeled using Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) around a residential area. The sources were identified as MAA refinery, downtown area, upstream facilities and main highway road. The sources were analyzed using a series of concentration roses (unfiltered and filtered) executed from the data collected. Data collected included primary and secondary pollutants levels … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,742 accessesView PDFCite
