“…Ambient air pollution is pollution that exists in the environment, which can come from human activities, or takes place, naturally, in nature (38). Air pollution can be caused by human activities in the aspect of industrial activities, motor vehicles (39), households, energy generation, agriculture, and the shipping sector (40). It is the population that living in Greater London and surrounding area until the M25 highway in England, because there is high ambient air pollution (41).…”

“…Air pollutants that give the biggest pollution in various countries are PM 10 , PM 2,5 , NO 2 , and O 3 (45). O 3 is a powerful oxidant, while NO 2 is included in free radicals (40). The populations that often be exposed by SO 2 air pollution are in productive age and elderly people (41).…”

“…Air pollution can have an impact on the body, those are diseases that related to nerves, respiratory disorders, heart problems, and cancer, with the highest risk belongs to nerves and breathing (40). There is possibility on 30 incidents of death and 22.000 incidents of acute respiratory symptoms (47).…”

Introduction: WHO has announced coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid19) as a global pandemic at the immune decline, one of which is due to chronic exposure to ambient air pollution. This literature review aims to describe the impact of ambient air pollution toward the risk of being infected by Covid19. Discussion: Covid19 can be found in a bat (host primer), and can be contagious through a person, also possible from pets. The symptoms that sufferers will perceive are fever, cough, diarrhea, myalgia, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomit, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and some asymptomatic people. The body’s immunity affects a person’s susceptibility to Covid19 infection. The body’s immunity can be affected by ambient air pollution (with PM10, PM2,5, and O3 are the most pollutant in the air in various countries) for an extended period could be the reason for chronic illness (especially, respiratory tract) could reduce immune resistance. Furthermore, it might be happened on increasing at ACE2 activity and can cause increasing infected by Covid19. Prevention action can be done by contributing from all of the sectors at an observance in guarding, physical distancing, quarantine, and maintaining the ambient air quality in the future. Conclusion: Ambient air pollution must be considered as one effort to prevent chronic illness that can reduce immunity, which can increase the risk of being infected with Covid19. Furthermore, future studies will be carried out on ACE2 activity in people infected with Covid19 in order to get more valid results and following current conditions.

Efforts to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have had profound positive and negative impacts on social and environmental indicators worldwide. For the first time, a scenario of a partial economic shutdown could be measured, and large tech companies published wide-coverage mobility reports to quantify the impacts on social change with anonymized location data. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK government has employed some of the strictest lockdown periods in the world, causing an immediate halt to travel and business activities. From these repeated lockdown periods, we have gained a snapshot of life without excessive humanmade pollution; this has allowed us to interrogate the interaction between meteorology and air quality with minimal anthropogenic input. Our findings show a warmer 2020 increased the UK's ozone levels by 9%, while reductions in human-mobility reduced UK-wide nitrogen dioxide levels by 25% in 2020, which have remained low during the first months of 2021 despite curtailing/ ending of restrictions; and a decrease in particulate matter created by meteorological and human drivers. Regionally, London records the highest NO 2 and O 3 changes, À31% and 35%, respectively, linked to mobility reductions and meteorology.

Acrylonitrile Adducts: An Efficient Adsorbent Media for Removal of Iron from Water

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Present study establishes a series of acrylonitrile adducts as an effective adsorption media for removal of ferrous ion from water. Adduct synthesis was carried out following aza-Michael addition reaction between primary aliphatic amines and acrylonitrile under mild conditions. The synthesized products were characterised by FT-IR, ESI-MS and 1 H NMR spectroscopy and the particle size was analysed by DLS measurements. Adsorption isotherm study of the adducts showed prominent results. The positively charged iron ion interacts with negatively charged acrylonitrile adducts and forms a bulky structure which precipitates out from water. The most interesting feature of these compounds is its electron rich property which facilitates effective interaction with the positively charged iron ions present in water and thus imparting high adsorption capacity. Batch experiments were performed to figure out the best adsorption conditions. These studies were used to investigate the effects of various viable characteristics such as initial metal ion concentration, pH and contact time. The adsorption isotherm was well fitted by Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity of acrylonitrile adducts for iron was recorded as 22.65 mg/g.
