Journal ArticleDOI
A review and evaluation of intraurban air pollution exposure models
Michael Jerrett,Altaf Arain,Pavlos S. Kanaroglou,Bernardo Beckerman,Dimitri Potoglou,Talar Sahsuvaroglu,Jason Morrison,Chris Giovis +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of models for assessing intraurban exposure under six classes, including proximity-based assessments, statistical interpolation, land use regression models, line dispersion models, integrated emission-meteorological models, and hybrid models combining personal or household exposure monitoring with one of the preceding methods is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that plant phenological and physiological properties can be integrated in a robust index—the product of the length of CO2 uptake period and the seasonal maximal photosynthesis—to explain the GPP variability over space and time in response to climate extremes and during recovery after disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Risk of Hospitalization with Community-acquired Pneumonia in Older Adults
TL;DR: In older adults, exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide and PM(2.5) was associated with hospitalization for community-acquired pneumonia, and results were somewhat sensitive to the choice of methods used to estimate air pollutant levels at residential addresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
How clean are electric vehicles? Evidence-based review of the effects of electric mobility on air pollutants, greenhouse gas emissions and human health
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive review of the effects of EVs adoption on air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and human health, and identify research gaps and recommend future research areas for the adoption of EVs and their benefits to society.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the main factors involved in the variability of R-ECO: temporally and between sites as affected by climate, vegetation structure and plant functional type (evergreen needleleaf, grasslands, etc.).
