Assessment of air pollution around coal mining area: Emphasizing on spatial distributions, seasonal variations and heavy metals, using cluster and principal component analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the variations in air quality in terms of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter around JCF over the period of 2010 and 2011 at five sites during different seasons.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) concentration levels, pattern, source identification and soil toxicity assessment in urban traffic soil of Dhanbad, India.
TL;DR: The results indicated that vehicular emission was the major source for PAHs contamination with moderate effect of coal combustion and biomass combustion andcinogenic potency of PAH load in traffic soil was nearly 6.15 times higher as compared to the control/rural soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source apportionment of airborne particulates through receptor modeling: Indian scenario
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of challenging issues and specific recommendations for a scientific apportionment of particulate sources in different geographical regions of India, including methodological weakness, inappropriate sample size, implications of secondary aerosols and inadequate emission inventories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological risk assessment of soil contamination by trace elements around coal mining area
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the occurrence, accessibility and ecological risk of trace elements around coal mining areas and assessed for their ecological risk in terms of enrichment factor, contamination factor, and pollution load index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of particulate matter (PM10) related to surface coal mining operations in Appalachia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the environmental exposure of residents of a community in southwest Virginia to respirable concentrations of dust (PM-10) generated by trucks hauling coal from surface coal mining operations.

Applied Multivariate Statistics for the Social Sciences
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on a conceptual understanding of the material rather than proving results and stress the importance of checking the data, assessing the assumptions, and ensuring adequate sample size so that the results can be generalized.

Heavy metal levels and solid phase speciation in street dusts of Delhi, India.
TL;DR: Assuming that the mobility and bioavailability are related to the solubility of geochemical forms of the metals and decrease in order of extraction, the apparent mobility and potential metal bioavailability for these highly contaminated street dust samples is: Cd>Zn approximately equal Pb>Ni>Cu>Cr.

Review: Epidemiological Basis for Particulate Air Pollution Health Standards
TL;DR: The overall epidemiologic evidence suggests that particulate air pollution, especially fine combustion-source pollution common to many urban and industrial environments, is an important risk factor for cardiopulmonary disease and mortality.

TL;DR: In this paper, trace element concentrations in PM10 and PM2.5 were determined at 33 monitoring stations in Spain throughout the period 1995-2006, at sites with no significant industrial development allowed them to define usual concentration ranges for a number of trace elements in rural and urban background environments.
