“…Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) is a reactive gas‐phase, air pollutant. Exposure to SO 2 affects human health by increasing respiratory (Chen et al, ; Chen et al, ; Clark et al, ; Ranzi et al, ; Rodriguez‐Villamizar et al, ) and cardiovascular morbidity (Chen et al, ). In the atmosphere, SO 2 is predominantly oxidized by reactions with the OH radical in the gas phase, or by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and ozone (O 3 ) in the aqueous phase to form sulfuric acid, the latter which can lead to acid rain formation and particulate sulfate (Seinfeld & Pandis, ).…”

SO2 column densities from Ozone Monitoring Instrument provide important information on emission trends and missing sources, but there are discrepancies between different retrieval products. We employ three Ozone Monitoring Instrument SO2 retrieval products (National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) standard (SP), NASA prototype, and BIRA) to study the magnitude and trend of SO2 emissions. SO2 column densities from these retrievals are most consistent when viewing angles and solar zenith angles are small, suggesting more robust emission estimates in summer and at low latitudes. We then apply a hybrid 4D‐Var/mass balance emission inversion to derive monthly SO2 emissions from the NASA SP and BIRA products. Compared to HTAPv2 emissions in 2010, both posterior emission estimates are lower in United States, India, and Southeast China, but show different changes of emissions in North China Plain. The discrepancies between monthly NASA and BIRA posterior emissions in 2010 are less than or equal to 17% in China and 34% in India. SO2 emissions increase from 2005 to 2016 by 35% (NASA)–48% (BIRA) in India, but decrease in China by 23% (NASA)–33% (BIRA) since 2008. Compared to in situ measurements, the posterior GEOS‐Chem surface SO2 concentrations have reduced NMB in China, the United States, and India but not in South Korea in 2010. BIRA posteriors have better consistency with the annual growth rate of surface SO2 measurement in China and spatial variability of SO2 concentration in China, South Korea, and India, whereas NASA SP posteriors have better seasonality. These evaluations demonstrate the capability to recover SO2 emissions using Ozone Monitoring Instrument observations.

“…Numerous studies have documented the relationship of the impact of air pollution by PM2.5 with the incidence and mortality of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases [28,29]. It has been proven that the development and progression of a number of diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, type 2 diabetes and obesity, may be associated with PM2.5 exposure.…”

The aim of the study was to estimate the pollution of the atmospheric surface layer by suspended particulate matter (SPM) in two districts of Vladivostok with different levels of technogenic load. Material and Methods -The air samples were taken in the "breathing zone" by an electric aspirator simultaneously to the liquid absorbing medium and on the filter, laser granulometry was used to assess the dispersion, and the mass concentration of the SPM fractions was calculated.Results -Ultrafine particles were detected in the air in the area with a high man-made load. Air levels of particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 0.1-1 μm, 1-2.5 μm (respirable fraction) and 2.5-10 μm (tracheobronchial fraction) were 5, 2.7 and 3.3 times higher, respectively, in the area with a high man-made load in comparison with the area with insignificant technogenic load. Conclusion -Particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm, which have the most pathogenic effect, prevail in the air in the urbanized area with a high technogenic load. The predominance of SPM fractions with an aerodynamic diameter more than 10 μm is a characteristic feature of air pollution in the territory with a low man-made load.

“…The WHO estimates that some 80% of premature deaths are due to ischemic heart disease and stroke caused by outdoor air pollution, 14% are due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or acute lower respiratory tract infections, and 6% are due to lung cancer. Children are particularly susceptible due to their fast metabolism (Danysh et al, 2015;Rodriguez-Villamizar et al, 2015). Many researchers have studied the impact of air pollution on human health and have demonstrated links between air pollution and mortality in Iran and other regions of the world.…”

<p>Over the last few decades, the evidence on the adverse effects on the health of air pollution has been raised. Mortality is the most important health effect of ambient air pollution. We studied the relation between mortality and criteria pollutant air in Tehran, one of the highly industrialized, densely populated area and most polluted cities of the reign, during 2005-2014. For this purpose, we applied the approach proposed by the World Health Organization using the AirQ 2.2.3 model. Hourly concentrations of pollutants were taken from the Tehran environmental protection agency and Air Quality Control Company. In this model, the attributable proportion of health outcome, the annual number of excess cases of mortality for all causes were estimated. According to results, the number of total mortality caused by exposure to O3, NO2, SO2, PM10, PM2.5 in the past decade was 8042, 15141, 8136, 17776 and 20015 cases, respectively. The number of cumulative total mortality was 53110 cases in ten years. Furthermore, the number of cumulative cardiovascular and respiratory mortality 33887 and 8168 cases was estimated in last decade. A large number of residents of Tehran have died as a result of exposure to air pollutants; therefore for control and management of air pollution, appropriate actions on health and the environment should be performed.</p>
