TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined published literature on neighbourhood air quality modifications by green interventions and provided a better understanding of the interactions between vegetation and surrounding built-up environments and ascertain means of reducing local air pollution exposure using green infrastructure.
563 citations
TL;DR: It is concluded that urban vegetation can facilitate broad health benefits, but there is little empirical evidence linking these benefits to air pollution reduction by urban vegetation, and appreciable efforts are needed to establish the underlying policies, design and engineering guidelines governing its deployment.
209 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a review brings together a collective of methods that have demonstrated an ability to influence air flow patterns to reduce personal exposure in the built environment, including trees and vegetation, noise barriers, low boundary walls and parked cars.
153 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the relative exposure to and uptake of air pollutants between modes of commuter transport, measurements of personal exposure to PM2.5 and traffic-related VOCs were obtained over an 18-month period.
140 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a review and assessment of Eco-Driving policy and its claimed benefits is presented, and the possible negative impacts of eco-driving, often neglected in previous research, are also highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss leading problems linked to energy that the world is now confronting and propose some ideas concerning possible solutions, and conclude that it is necessary to pursue actively the development of coal, natural gas, and nuclear power.
Abstract: This chapter discusses leading problems linked to energy that the world is now confronting and to propose some ideas concerning possible solutions. Oil deserves special attention among all energy sources. Since the beginning of 1981, it has merely been continuing and enhancing the downward movement in consumption and prices caused by excessive rises, especially for light crudes such as those from Africa, and the slowing down of worldwide economic growth. Densely-populated oil-producing countries need to produce to live, to pay for their food and their equipment. If the economic growth of the industrialized countries were to be 4%, even if investment in the rational use of energy were pushed to the limit and the development of nonpetroleum energy sources were also pursued actively, it would be extremely difficult to prevent a sharp rise in prices. It is evident that it is absolutely necessary to pursue actively the development of coal, natural gas, and nuclear power if a physical shortage of energy is not to block economic growth.
