TL;DR: In this article, a single-cylinder diesel engine was used in this work; the exhaust gas emissions, in different speed ranges, were investigated, and the amount of changes in emissions was evaluated in terms of air pollution with graphics.
Abstract: With the increase in the number of engine vehicles, air pollution is also increasing quickly; and with the increase in air pollution, all living conditions are affected in a negative way. Diesel engines also cause air pollution, which adversely affects human health and is becoming a permanent problem. A single-cylinder diesel engine was used in this work; the exhaust gas emissions, in different speed ranges, were investigated. These emissions are carbon monoxide emissions (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), oxygen (O2), and carbon dioxide (CO2). The amount of the changes in emissions was evaluated in terms of air pollution with graphics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the impact of total suspended particulate (TSP) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), two major air pollutants, and of air pollution controls on the median real price of housing in Jacksonville, Florida.
Abstract: Using the neural network method, this research explores the impact of total suspended particulate (TSP) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), two major air pollutants, and of air pollution controls on the median real price of housing in Jacksonville, Florida. The results of this case study confirm the adverse effect of air pollution on the price of housing. The simulation of the model further suggests that pollution control measures improve property values. The findings imply that, in addition to other measures influencing the price of housing, property owners and buyers take air pollution and pollution controls into account.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a broad outline of the underlying science and practices related to transportation air quality, and present an overview of transportation sources' influence on the quality of ambient air.
Abstract: This chapter describes how transportation activities have a direct impact on the quality of ambient air. The proper phrase to describe the science that studies this impact is “transportation and air quality” rather than “transportation and air pollution.” For a majority of the substances that may be considered as air pollutants are, in fact, naturally present in the atmospheres. The predominant effect transportation sources have on the atmospheric air is to affect the quality of the ambient air. This chapter presents a broad outline of the underlying science and practices related to transportation air quality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrated source-meteorological interaction information from two commonly employed atmospheric dispersion models into the land use regression technique for predicting ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM10).
