“…Epidemiological studies suggest that children have increased morbidity from particulate air pollution (20,22). Upper airway deposition of coarse particles are more in children when compare with adults and increased upper airway deposition was correlated with decreasing height of the subjects (18).Ratio of mid vital capacity was used to determine upper airway obstruction.…”

An integral analysis of Air Pollution in the Gulf of Mexico was made considering pollutants emissions assessment and diagnosis; air pollution monitoring; and modeling of air pollution dispersion. Combustion sources considered in this work were: thermoelectric power plants and open flares; and pollutants considered were sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxides, particulate matter (PM 10 and PM 2.5 ), Total suspended particles (TSP) and carbon monoxide (CO). This study made evident a lack of more recent information and a homogenization in emissions factors in order to know the conditions of air pollution in the Gulf of Mexico in a more reliable way.

“…Bhanarkar et al [7] presented a prediction of the impact on air quality of two naphthanatural gas fired combined cycle power plants having identical air emissions but located in a coastal area and in an inland area, which have considerable variation in topography and meteorology. Lopez et al [8] studied the health impact of power plant emissions in Mexico. Rodriguez et al [9] studied the air quality impact of distributed power generated in the south coast air basin of California, USA.…”

The AERMOD-ISC dispersion model has been used to study the impact SO 2 emitted from power stations in Kuwait. SO 2 emissions from fifteen stacks were studied to evaluate the pollutant dispersion patterns and the risk of nearby populations being negatively affected by such emission. One year's meteorological data was used for simulating the ground level concentrations of SO 2 . The level was estimated based on a model simulating the concentration on an hourly, daily and annual basis. The air quality was monitored at four different residential areas over the course of a year. The simulated concentrations were validated by comparing them with the observed values at four locations in residential areas. The results demonstrated that there is a great similarity in the simulated concentrations with observed values. The model performance was also found to be satisfactory. The hourly and daily concentrations of the simulated model exceeded the KW-EPA limits. This indicates that there is a significant influence of SO 2 emission from the power station in ambient air quality.
