TL;DR: In this article, the major indoor and outdoor air pollutants, how these air pollutants are dispersed in the environment, and what human health effects have been associated with either short-term or long-term exposures to air pollutants.
Abstract: In this article, we discuss each of the major indoor and outdoor air pollutants, how these air pollutants are dispersed in the environment, and what human health effects have been associated with either short-term or long-term exposures to these air pollutants. The focus of the article is on human-derived anthropogenic emissions of air pollution (e.g., from fossil fuel combustion), rather than those from natural causes (e.g., pollens).

TL;DR: In this article, the relative effects of atmospheric air pollutants and meteorological conditions on atmospheric visibility and turbidity were investigated, and it was shown that air pollutant concentrations significantly influence visibility and atmospheric turbidity.

TL;DR: In this paper, weekly cycles of CO, NO and O3 concentrations for the 18-year-period 1983-2000 are studied, and each day of the week is considered separately, while sites with different levels of primary pollutants are examined.
Abstract: The objective of the present study is to contribute to the understanding of the "ozone weekend effect" as it occurs in the Greater Area of Athens, Greece both in the summer and wintertime. Therefore, weekly cycles of CO, NO and O3 concentrations for the 18-year-period 1983-2000 are studied. Each day of the week is considered separately, while sites with different levels of primary pollutants are examined. The reduction of the meteorological influence in the O3 mechanisms is achieved by applying meteorological classifications. The analysis for the cold period reveals that CO and NO display decreasing concentrations from weekdays to weekends, whereas O3 shows increasing concentrations. During the warm period, although primary pollutants display decreased concentrations compared to the cold period, their weekly cycles remain the same. On the other hand, meteorological changes affect the weekly cycle of ozone peaks. During days with unfavourable meteorology to ozone production, weekend ozone concentrations ar...

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the relationship between the willingness to pay (WTP) for clean air and air purifier costs (APCs) incurred by the public as an indicator of WTP.
