The utilization of hydrogen to power fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) can significantly decrease air pollutants and greenhouse gases emission from the transportation sector.
Many climate change mitigation strategies have various health co-benefits, which can decrease air pollutants other than greenhouse gases, thus decreasing risks of respiratory and allergic diseases (e.g., Bloomberg and Aggarwala, 2008).
The UHI decreases air quality by increasing the production of pollutants such as ozone, and decreases water quality as warmer waters flow into area streams and put stress on their ecosystems.
In these models, there is often a high degree of covariation among pollutants, and between pollutants and other model variables [ 4, 5], which typically diminishes effect estimate precision and decreases power to identify air pollutant effects [ 6].
It includes increased worker protection from environmental hazards; decreased use of toxics and hazardous materials at home, work, and school; decreased consumption of food and water with significant pollutant concentrations; decreased exposure to air pollutants; increased use of public transportation, car pools, and bicycles; and increased access to and awareness of relevant health care.
We investigated the environmental burden of air pollution and found that overall, as NSES decreased, concentrations of air pollutants increased.
The synergistic effect of the photodegradation activity and the latent hydraulicity in this material can be utilized in building industry to decrease concentration of selected air pollutants e.g. in areas affected by traffic pollution.
Previous studies have reported decreased birth weight associated with increased air pollutant concentrations during pregnancy.
Before our study, there were reports of associations between cumulative particulate matter [PM < 10 μm (PM10) and < 2.5 μm (PM2.5 ) in aerodynamic diameter] and gaseous (ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide) air pollutant exposure and decrease in lung function in other studies (Downs et al. 2007; Romieu et al. 2006).
