They are also the two of the main ingredients in smog, a type of air pollution that reduces visibility. However, ground level ozone is bad for human health. It is created when sunlight reacts with certain chemical emissions for example nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane. These chemicals can come from industrial facilities, car exhaust, gasoline vapors and other sources.
Airborne particles are solid and liquid droplets suspended in the air. These particles become airborne at construction sites, smokestacks, car exhaust pipes, wildfires, volcanoes and many other places, too. The particles can also be formed from chemical reactions in the atmosphere. An AQI under 50 means that the air quality is good. Gayle S. Hagler - U. David Shelow - U. David A. Hindin - U. Vasu J.

Key scientific findings and policy- and health-relevant insights from the U. Traffic and meteorological impacts on near-road air quality: summary of methods and trends from the Raleigh Near-Road Study J. A growing no. A study was designed to assess traffic emissions impacts on air quality and particle toxicity near a heavily traveled highway. In an attempt to describe the complex mixt.
Pollutants analyzed included U. Environmental Protection Agency EPA -regulated gases, particulate matter coarse, fine, and ultrafine , and air toxics.
Pollutant measurements were synchronized with real-time traffic and meteorol. Measurement results demonstrated the temporal and spatial impact of traffic emissions on near-road air quality. The distribution of mobile source emitted gas and particulate pollutants under all wind and traffic conditions indicated a higher proportion of elevated concns.
Diurnal variations in pollutant concns. Time-resolved measurements of multiple pollutants demonstrated that traffic emissions produced a complex mixt. These results provide a foundation for future assessments of these data to identify the relationship of traffic activity and meteorol.

Exploration of the rapid effects of personal fine particulate matter exposure on arterial hemodynamics and vascular function during the same day Environ. Can personal exposures to higher nighttime and early-morning temperatures increase blood pressure? Journal of clinical hypertension Greenwich, Conn. Environmental temperatures are inversely related to BP; however, the effects of short-term temperature changes within a hour period and measured with high accuracy at the personal level have not been described.
The associations between hour-long mean PET levels during the previous 24 hours with the outcomes were assessed by linear mixed models. Accounting for demographics, environmental factors, and monitoring compliance, systolic and diastolic BP were positively associated with several hour-long PET measurements ending from 10 to 15 hours beforehand. Modestly warmer, commonly encountered PET levels posed a clinically meaningful effect eg, a 6. Community-level outdoor ambient temperatures were not related to BP.
The authors provide the first evidence that personal exposure to warmer nighttime and early-morning environmental temperatures might lead to an increase in BP during the ensuing day. Individual-level PM 2. Exposure Sci. In community-dwelling middle-aged non-smokers we examined the time-course and the acute effects of fine particles PM.
Twenty-four hours beat-to-beat ECG data were visually examined. Artifacts and arrhythmic beats were removed. Personal PM. We use linear mixed-effects models to assess autocorrelation- and other major confounder-adjusted regression coefficients between h moving averages of PM.

Northcross, Amanda L. Royal Society of Chemistry. Exposure to particles with aerodynamic diams. At local scales, community and environmental justice groups are also concerned about PM2.
In an attempt to develop a low cost, easy to use monitor we evaluated a low-cost optical particle counter, the Dylos, as a fine particulate mass sensor.
It is able to measure concns. We conclude that with appropriate modification the system could be developed into an accurate low cost realtime particle mass monitor for use in a wide range of applications.

Most towns and cities around the world have just one — if any — air pollution monitor. Low- and middle-income countries, where pollution is often pervasive, may not have any on-the-ground air quality monitors. Regional monitors provide important information about the overall air quality across a large area.
The data collected by the survey is available to the public via maps, annual reports and the Environment and Health Data portal. Data is presented by neighbourhood and users can download customised datasets or curated reports on air quality and health that compare selected neighbourhoods to the rest of the city as shown below for East Harlem.

Air quality monitoring enables cities to: assess levels of pollution relative to these goals; identify sources of pollution and local hot-spots; create public awareness; enforce policies and monitor their effectiveness; and measure progress. Cities can also adopt WHO standards for other pollutants, namely: PM 10 particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less.
