Background Air pollution is considered one of the risk factors for stroke prevalence in long term and incidence short term. Tabriz most important industrial cities Iran. Hence, air has always been main concerns environmental health region. Method The patient data were retrieved from electronic records primary tertiary hospital city (Imam Reza Hospital). was obtained Environmental Protection Agency generated by 8 sensor stations spread across city. Average daily values calculated CO, NO, NO x , O 3 SO 2 PM2.5, PM10 hourly measurement data. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA-X) model with lag days developed to assess correlation. Results pollutants admission collected 1821 day includes 4865 cases. our analysis showed no statistically significant association between concentrations CO (p = 0.41), 0.96), O3 0.65), SO2 0.91), PM2.5 0.44), 0.36). Only binary COVID variable which used distinguish COVID-19 era other days, value 0.042). goodness fit measures, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Median Absolute (MAE) 1.81 1.19, respectively. Conclusion In contrast previous reports on subject, we did not find any pollutant significantly associated an increased number patients.

Convective dust events are common in the greater Phoenix area over summer. These short-duration degrade air quality and pose a potential health threat to millions. In this study, 93 convective that occurred July August 2015 2021 were examined determine their impact on quality. Seven PM10 stations used evaluate changes concentrations different time intervals (10-min, hourly, daily). Out of these events, only 15.1% had daily average above EPA threshold, however, 12.8 28 times lower compared hourly 10-min (respectively) at peak dust. 10-minute 2.2 ± 0.8 higher than concentrations. The findings study demonstrated traditional methods use or averages underestimate atmospheric during short therefore estimated exposure. There is need consider shorter capture PM accurately highlight importance real-time monitoring accurate characterization assess impacts human health.

Abstract. High-resolution mapping of pollutants based on mobile observation facilitates deep understanding air pollutant distributions within a city. This approach fosters science-based decisions to improve quality, by adding the existing but not optimally distributed permanent monitoring stations. In this study, we developed high-resolution concentration maps nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM10) and ultrafine particles (UFP) for Bucharest, Romania, evaluate spatial variation across city during warm cold seasons. Maps were generated using mixed-effects method applied land-use regression (LUR) model. The relies multiple traffic predictor variables assimilation data collected measurements over 30 d in periods May–July 2022 January–February 2023. Cross-validation was done against situ extracted from same collection, while validation organized comparison with standard at fixed reference sites. Our study shows that combined has good performance all (R2>0.65), highest being observed season. PM10 indicate sources season, most important source traffic. During show more uniform distribution Bucharest. city's principal roads, particularly Bucharest ring road, are also highlighted NO2 maps, higher gradient period.

The air quality in Mosul was adversely affected both directly and indirectly during after the conflict phase, spanning from occupation to liberation of city ISIS (2014–2017). Direct impacts included ignition oil fields sulphur deposits, as well use military weapons their propellants. Indirectly, also compromised by various other factors negatively affecting due excessive emission levels pollutants, such particulate matter (PM), dioxide (SO2), nitrogen (NO2) toxic gases. Six important locations were selected, concentrations parameters PM2.5, PM10, formaldehyde (HCHO), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), NO2 SO2 determined at monthly intervals year 2022. sites selected according proximity specific distance direct zone. aim assess present pollutant based on WHO guidelines compare results with previous pre-war studies understand long-term war impact quality. showed that annual average values PM10 above limits all throughout year. In contrast, TVOC, HCHO within hot months but exceeded them cold (December March), which can be attributed heating material winter.

Thus, addition short-term effects burning airborne weapon emissions, increase traffic, decentralized generators, demand for oil, progressive desertification deforestation destruction extensive green areas, increasing unaddressed environmental violations general, held responsible declining urban area.

It is well known that one of the main causes mortality and reduced life expectancy air pollution, which carries highest burden diseases attributed to environmental factors. The poor quality in Iranian cities leads a wide range acute chronic health effects. This study estimates natural deaths, ALRI, COPD, lung cancer, IHD, strokes caused by pollutants Bukan, southern city West Azerbaijan Province, from 2011 2019. Population data was obtained government organizations, pollutant for 2011-2019 collected Bukan Environmental Protection Organization. Analyses were performed using Excel, subsequently entered into WHO's AirQ+ model extract results. found long-term exposure PM10, PM2.5, NO2, O3 resulted an estimated 316, 241, 14, 52 respectively. By comparing over 8-year period, it determined not good condition, with particulate matter levels exceeding relevant standards. Given increasing trend pollution associated impacts, essential implement effective control policies improve city's quality. information provides crucial step managers, policymakers, officials mitigate effects pollution.
