Land use patterns and SO2 and NO2 pollution in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Seasonal ambient air pollution correlates strongly with spontaneous abortion in Mongolia

“…Limitations of our study include its retrospective design and the limited nature of pollution observations with respect to peak intradiurnal variation and geographical distribution within UB [28,29]. We did not have available meteorological information on humidity and temperature, but nevertheless we showed that change of air pollutants levels increases in relation to the duration of the hours of darkness.…”

A land use regression model for estimating the NO2 concentration in shanghai, China

“…The model fitted performance was comparable with that of previous LUR models for NO 2 . A series of LUR models have been developed worldwide and the model R 2 ranged mainly from 0.6 to 0.8, with the lowest value of 0.49 and the highest value of 0.97 (Beelen et al, 2013;Hoek et al, 2008;Huang et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2014). Only a few LUR models were developed utilizing the routine monitoring network.…”

Estimation of nitrogen oxides emissions from petrol and diesel passenger cars by means of on-board monitoring: Effect of vehicle speed, vehicle technology, engine type on emission rates

“…NO 2 has great adverse health effects at ambient levels in urban settings (Caballero et al, 2012;Hargreaves et al, 2000;Huang et al, 2013). Current scientific evidence links short-term NO 2 exposures, ranging from 30 min to 24 h with adverse respiratory effects including airway inflammation in healthy people and increased respiratory symptoms in people with asthma.…”
