A hybrid model approach for estimating health burden from NO 2 in megacities in China: A case study in Guangzhou
Background: Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) poses substantial public health risks in large cities globally. Concentrations of NO 2 shows high spatial variation, yet intra-urban measurements of NO 2 in Chinese cities are sparse. The size of Chinese cities and shortage of some datasets is challenging for high spatial resolution modelling. The aim here was to combine advantages of dispersion and land-use regression (LUR) modelling to simulate population ex…
Modelling public health improvements as a result of air pollution control policies in the UK over four decades—1970 to 2010
In much of the industrialised world, policy interventions to address the challenges of wide-spread air pollution as resulting from development and economic progress in the 2nd half of the 20th century have overall led to reductions in air pollution levels and related health effects since the 1970s. While overall improvements towards reducing health effects from ambient air pollution are recorded, comprehensive and consistent assessments of the lo…
The UK particulate matter air pollution episode of March–April 2014: More than Saharan dust
A period of elevated surface concentrations of airborne particulate matter (PM) in the UK in spring 2014 was widely associated in the UK media with a Saharan dust plume. This might have led to over-emphasis on a natural phenomenon and consequently to a missed opportunity to inform the public and provide robust evidence for policy-makers about the observed characteristics and causes of this pollution event. In this work, the EMEP4UK regional atmos…
Acid rain
In this overview of the phenomenon of acid rain, the sources, the depersion, and the deposition of acid pollutants, in both the wet and the dry phase, are discussed. Acid pollution is an international issue, and the effects of acid deposition on human health and on various materials, the cost of acid deposition, how emission can be reduced and removed, the current legislation in this field, and finally the response of the environment are consider…
