“…Similar assessment studies in Japan, America, Europe, and other areas (Aunan et al 1998;Levy et al 2001;Leksell and Rabl 2001;Medina et al 2004;Yorifuji et al 2005;Boldo et al 2006;White et al 2008) showed quantification estimate results of the impact of PM pollution on human health. In those existed estimated studies, mainly focused on PM 10 , public health impact of short-term or long-term exposure to airborne particulate matter was valued.…”

“…For long-term exposure, two American cohort studies were used because there were still no published cohort studies on PM 10 or PM 2.5 in China. The two studies, American Cancer Society (ACS) study (Dockery et al 1993) and Harvard Six Cities Study (Pope et al 1995(Pope et al , 2002 were well-illustrated by many assessment studies in other countries (Martuzzi et al 2003;Sultan 2007;White et al 2008;. Table 2 listed all published epidemiology studies of effects of PM 10 and PM 2.5 in China published in English and Chinese.…”

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, processes of different scales have contributed greatly to the pollution and waste load on the environment. More specifically, airborne pollutants associated with chemical processes have contributed greatly on the ecosystem and populations health. In this communication, we review recent activities and trends of primary and secondary air pollutants in the state of Kuwait, a country associated with petroleum, petrochemical, and other industrial pollution. Trends of pollutants and impact on human health have been studied and categorized based on recent literature. More attention was paid to areas known to researchers as either precursor sensitive (i.e., nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs)) or adjacent to upstream- or downstream-related activities. Environmental monitoring and modelling techniques relevant to this study are also reviewed. Two case studies that link recent data with models associated with industrial sectors are also demonstrated, focusing mainly on chemical mass balance (CMB) and Gaussian line source modelling. It is concluded that a number of the monitoring stations and regulations placed by the Kuwait Environment Public Authority (KUEPA) need up-to-date revisions and better network placement, in agreement with previous findings.
