Analyzing individual exposure in urban areas offers several challenges where both the
individual's activities and air pollution levels demonstrate a large degree of spatial and …

Background Traditional approaches for measuring air quality based on fixed measurements
are inadequate for personal exposure monitoring. To combat this issue, the use of small …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is closely related to the air quality and public health.
Numerous models have been introduced to simulate the PM 2.5 concentrations at large …

Emerging evidence suggests that short episodes of high exposure to air pollution occur
while commuting. These events can result in potentially adverse health effects. We present a …

Time–activity patterns are an important determinant of personal exposure to air pollution.
This is demonstrated by measuring personal exposure of 16 participants for 7 consecutive …

Some cities in China are facing serious air pollution problems including high concentrations
of particles, SO 2 and NO x. Exposure to PM2. 5, one of the primary air pollutants in many …

Air pollution is now recognized as the world's single largest environmental and human
health threat. Indeed, a large number of environmental epidemiological studies have …

Abstract Development of strategies to control urban air pollution is a complex process
involving a wide range of sciences. In this study a system dynamics model is proposed in …

A mathematical model of joint determining the risk to human health and the identification of
hazardous states of the polluted urban atmosphere based on the measurement of current …

Background Exposure to air pollution can have major health impacts, such as respiratory
and cardiovascular diseases. Traditionally, only the air pollution concentration at the home …
