Environmental Air Pollution

Abstract Environmental air pollution is a global health concern, a complex phenomenon which is directly reflected on public health, economic and human development. Environmental air pollution has been drastically multiplied, followed by the beginning of the new Millennia in Prishtina, the capital city of the Kosovo. The new millennium began as a crucial activity for the city of Prishtina in terms of demographic, human geography, social and economic phenomena. The presented study aims to determine prevalent traffic and land morphology composition attributes, which have influenced and continue to have environmental impact in the city of Prishtina. According to the conceptual findings from the empirical observations, the heavy city traffic and the land morphology structure, determine the urban air pollution level. Prishtina is generally polluted due to its geomorphic position in relation to the power plants Kosovo A, and Kosova B. The impact of the above cited factors, is even bigger when the dominant winds prevail through valley, which encompasses the city. The findings from this paper propose the necessity of careful driven urban solutions.

Nowadays, the management of the air pollution is a very important key for a strong and sustainable development process in the areas of Dambovita county and Targoviste city. It is known that in the industrial part of Targoviste, two ferrous industrial plants are the main pollutants with powders and one enterprise is responsible by the pollution with exhausted gases. Near the city, in Doicesti village, a power coal-based plant is the major pollutant with powders and exhausted gases. More than that, the heavy road traffic remains one of the most important responsible for the atmospheric pollution. Estimating the pollution levels became an important goal for the factors involved in the environmental protection. Trying to join this kind of research, the paper presents some results concerning the trends of the air pollution level in the industrial area of Targoviste city, proposing also some kind of models. Those models were deducted by the regression calculus and linear, polynomial, logarithmic, exponential and power equations were used for expressing realistic or non-realistic models. Traditional for the regression calculus, the coefficient of determination showed how closely the estimated values for the trend-lines correspond to the analyzed data.

This article discusses the impact of suspended particles on human health, by providing small definitions of PM2.5, including how they appear, what particles they consist of, and how they harm the respiratory and circulatory systems.  In addition, the analysis of the pollution level of the city of Almaty for the last three years from March 22, 2017, to October 6, 2020, with categorical intermediate values of suspended particles was carried out. Careful work was done with the SCV file such as data was skipped in the cells, that is, there were empty values; translation to a single data type; filling in empty cells. It also considers making a decision on the six categories provided to identify the average meeting categories. The authors identified specific categories based on digital readings of values received from sensors, where each category has its own verbal values that are understandable for each person. The indicator displays with weights as a graph for a specific Seifullin-Dulatov sensor location with categorical and without categorical division. Then for each intersection or location of the sensors is shown in a table. It is also revealed which level or category is the rarest among the others and the most common category as well.

Bioindication of air pollution in the city of Nis, by using epiphytic lichens, was performed for the first time in 1992. In this paper the authors present the results of repeated investigations in 2002, by using new, modern method, and their comparison with the former investigations. In repeated investigations, on 59 investigated spots, the authors established the presence of 42 lichen taxa, 3 zones with different air pollution level ("lichens desert", "transitional zone" and "normal zone") and two subzones ("narrow transitional zone" and "wider transitional zone"), as well. As the most sensitive, some Melanelia-species (M. elegantula, M. exasperata, M. glabra), Evernia prunastr and Flavoparmelia caperata, were established while on the other hand, Phaeophyscia orbicularis, Physcia adscendens, Ph. stellaris and Lecanora argentata were the most tolerant.

The article is devoted to the study of the pollution level in the city streets by road transport. Purpose. The aim of the work is to operative assess the concentration of pollutants in street canyons in projects for managing the ecological state of the metropolis. Research Methodology. The article used statistical analysis, mathematical modeling. Scientific novelty. A model for assessing the level of air pollution in city street canyons is proposed. On the basis of this model, the concentration of pollutants in the street canyons of the Pechersky district of Kiev was determined, taking into account the daily dynamics of the traffic flows intensity. Conclusions. The research results can be used in the operational forecasting of the pollution level of the roadside space ecosystems, which will allow timely, by controlling the parameters of the traffic flow, to prevent critical situations in which the concentration of pollutants exceeds the maximum permissible values. Key words: management, transport, pollution assessment, traffic flow, design, modeling of pollution fields.

An ambient air quality study was undertaken in Bareilly city, U.P., India during the year 2010 and 2011. The seasonal air quality data was obtained from ten monitoring sites across the city considering sampling site of Cantt as control site. The maximum (713.06±55.64 µg/m3) suspended particulate matter (SPM), sulphur dioxide (SO2) (80.08±4.77 µg/m3) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) (64.98±3.53 µg/m3) level was found at Choupla during the winter 2011. Among the annual mean values of air pollutants were analyzed, SPM level was found to be above the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) (200 µg/m3) at all the polluted sites. SO2 and NOx levels were below the threshold limits (80 µg/m3) as per NAAQS. The ambient air quality was correlated with the traffic density in the city. The pollution level was observed to be positively correlated with traffic density which is the major source of air pollution in the city. The ambient air quality at different monitoring sites was categorized into different pollution level on the basis of Oak ridge air quality index (ORAQI). Light to moderate air pollution conditions were present at different sites. Sampling site of Choupla (SVII) observe maximum ORAQI of 64.48 and 70.81 and falls under category of moderate pollution.

This paper describes how the city of Rajshahi fought back air pollution through adopting mitigation measures by identifying every possible contributing factors of the pollution. The paper also includes how implementing battery operated rickshaw as a means of intercity transportation impacted the pollution level and contributed towards sustainable environment. The paper covers the details about the problem identification process and the mitigation measures taken by the engineers in the Rajshahi City Corporation. As a result of the steps taken, Rajshahi showed a 67.2% percent decline in concentration of PM10 particles, from 195 micrograms per cubic meter of air volume in 2014 to 64 micrograms for cubic meters. This was the largest percentage reduction in PM10 concentration worldwide. PM2.5 concentration also nearly halved from 70 micrograms per cubic meter to micrograms per cubic meter. The report where this achievement was announced was published by World Health Organization (WHO). By analyzing the discussion it was concluded that Rajshahi was a model city and can be considered as a benchmark and ideal for other cities to follow to reduce air pollution and create a sustainable environment.
