The present study is aimed at assessing the bridge project, ensure adverse environmental impacts be identified and evaluated in the earlier stage of the project development so as to develop appropriate measures including alternative alignments and designs to avoid, mitigate, reduce or otherwise minimize the adverse impacts to acceptable levels for a bridge across Ennore creek of 720 m length and s

The present study gives an idea of changes taking place in pollen characteristics of Delonix regia and Peltophorum inerme under the influence of air pollution. Pollen germination, viability, size and pollen tube length were the parameters studied. The reduction in pollen viability and pollen tube length was more significant in P. inerme than D.

Previous research has documented effects of both physical and social environmental
exposures on childhood asthma. However, few studies have considered how these two environments might interact to affect asthma. This study aimed to test interactions between chronic exposure to traffic-related air pollution and chronic family stress in predicting biologic and clinical outcomes in children with asthma.

The simultaneous determination of heavy metals associated with airborne particulate matter in the atmosphere of the city of Isfahan (Iran) was performed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) after pre-concentration with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate.

Traffic-related air pollution is consistently associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent human and animal studies suggest that exposure to air pollutants affects vascular function. Diesel exhaust (DE) is a major source of traffic-related air pollution. The goal of this particular study was to study the effects of short-term exposure to DE on vascular reactivity and on mediators of vascular tone.

After a decade of deliberations and review of more than 1,700 new studies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the new primary standard for ground-level ozone in March 2008. The new standard, 75 ppb, is being assailed from all sides

Robust growth rate in the automobile components sector and pressure on component suppliers to demonstrate environmental performance along with quality, cost and delivery make small and medium scale automobile ancillary component suppliers in the need of addressing their environmental issues and and waste minimisation options in their industry.

Biomass fuel is the primary source of domestic fuel in much of rural China. Previous studies have not characterized particle exposure through time
