Journal ArticleDOI

Greater nitrogen dioxide concentrations at child versus adult breathing heights close to urban main road kerbside

TL;DR: Fitting of horizontal transects of NO2 concentrations away from main roads demonstrated the strong influence of wind speed in yielding faster fall-off in NO2 concentration from the roadside, and in near-ground vertical gradient inNO2, and lower background NO1 concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of particulate emissions during 23 major industrial fires: Implications for human health.

TL;DR: There is a need to consider further the accuracy of the data provided and for the development of very short-term guideline values that responders can use to determine the appropriate public health response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive Experience for Indoor Air Quality Assessment: A Review on the Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

TL;DR: A review of the most common methods employed in determination of VOCs, based on the international literature, can be found in this paper, however, no specific method qualifies as being the most accurate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of mineralogical and chemical properties of airborne dust in Iraq

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an overview of the mineralogical and chemical properties of dust storms over Iraq and identified potential sources of dust storm over Iraq, and the results of particle size analysis showed that clay and silt particulates form an average of 86.9% of a dust storm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schoolchildren’s exposure to PM2.5: a student club–based air quality monitoring campaign using low-cost sensors

TL;DR: In this paper, a 2-month voluntary monitoring campaign with students attending the environmental club of the Spring Valley High School in urban Las Vegas, Nevada, was conducted to assess schoolchildren's exposure to outdoor/indoor air pollution and identify those at higher risk.
