With the development of society along with an escalating population, the concerns regarding public health have cropped up. The quality of air becomes primary concern regarding constant increase in the number of vehicles and industrial development. Wi...
OBJECTIVE: Predict the number of hospitalizations for asthma and pneumonia associated with exposure to air pollutants in the city of São José dos Campos, São Paulo State.
The development of a reasonable statistical method of predicting the concentrations of fine-particle-bound heavy metals remains challenging. In this study, daily PM samples were collected within four different seasons from a Chinese mega-city. The an...
