“…Ordinary kriging assumes a constant unknown mean in the local neighborhood, while universal kriging assumes a general polynomial trend model. Ordinary kriging is the most general and widely used method [63][64][65]. Universal kriging is usually used when the existence of the trend is certain and the trend is describable [5,66].…”

Abstract:The impact of urban air pollution on the environments and human health has drawn increasing concerns from researchers, policymakers and citizens. To reduce the negative health impact, it is of great importance to measure the air pollution at high spatial resolution in a timely manner. Traditionally, air pollution is measured using dedicated instruments at fixed monitoring stations, which are placed sparsely in urban areas. With the development of low-cost micro-scale sensing technology in the last decade, portable sensing devices installed on mobile campaigns have been increasingly used for air pollution monitoring, especially for traffic-related pollution monitoring. In the past, some reviews have been done about air pollution exposure models using monitoring data obtained from fixed stations, but no review about mobile sensing for air pollution has been undertaken. This article is a comprehensive review of the recent development in air pollution monitoring, including both the pollution data acquisition and the pollution assessment methods. Unlike the existing reviews on air pollution assessment, this paper not only introduces the models that researchers applied on the data collected from stationary stations, but also presents the efforts of applying these models on the mobile sensing data and discusses the future research of fusing the stationary and mobile sensing data.

Summary. Background: Epidemiological studies suggest an association between exposure to particulate matter (PM) in air pollution and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objectives: To investigate the underlying pathophysiological pathways linking PM exposure and VTE. Patients and methods: We assessed potential associations between PM exposure and coagulation and inflammation parameters, including circulating microvesicles, in a group of 233 patients with diabetes. Results: The numbers of circulating blood platelet‐derived and annexin V‐binding microvesicles were inversely associated with the current levels of PM2.5 or PM10, measured on the day of sampling. Recent past exposure to PM10, up to 1 week prior to blood sampling, estimated at the patients’ residential addresses, was associated with elevated high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (CRP), leukocytes and fibrinogen, as well as with tissue factor (TF)‐dependent procoagulant changes in thrombin generation assays. When longer windows of past exposure were considered, up to 1 year preceding blood sampling, procoagulant changes were evident from the strongly increased numbers of red blood cell‐derived circulating microvesicles and annexin V‐binding microvesicles, but they no longer associated with TF. Past PM exposure was never associated with activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), or factor (F) VII, FVIII, FXII or D‐dimers. Residential distance to a major road was only marginally correlated with procoagulant changes in FVIII and thrombin generation. Conclusions: Increases in the number of microvesicles and in their procoagulant properties, rather than increases in coagulation factors per se, seem to contribute to the risk of VTE, developing during prolonged exposure to air pollutants.

“…Local authorities and municipalities, especially in metropolises, have made political decisions and actions to provide a fuel shift from coal to natural gas during the last decade in Turkey. Yilmaz (2009) stated that Turkey is 9th in lignite reserves, 8th in lignite production, and 12th in total coal (hard coal and lignite) consumption in the world (Janssen et al, 2008;Korcz et al, 2009;Yilmaz, 2009). Hard coal production is not able to meet Turkey's demand and covers only 13% of its consumption, but lignite production meets its demand in Turkey.…”

“…Turkey's arable land potential is mostly distributed over inland Anatolia and Northwestern Anatolia. Agricultural activities, in addition to dry and arable areas, are highly potential PM sources (Janssen et al, 2008;Karaca et al, 2009;Korcz et al, 2009). In Figure 1, a significant part of VCAZ and CAZ is located in the eastern part The air pollution profile cannot only be explained by the effect of meteorology and topography, but is also related to land use and washing out mechanisms during rain events.…”
