This study addresses the development of a miniaturized (60 × 60 mm) Wireless Sensing Module (WSM) for environmental application and air quality detection. The proposed prototype has six sensors: one for humidity, one for ambient temperature (SHT21 fr...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning algorithms have very high predictive ability. However, no study has used machine learning to estimate historical concentrations of PM (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) at daily time scale in China at...
Previous research suggested an association between maternal exposure to ambient air pollutants and risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs), though the effects of particulate matter ≤10μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM) on CHDs are inconsistent. We used ...

In a town located in a desert area of Northern Chile, gold and copper open-pit mining is carried out involving explosive processes. These processes are associated with increased dust exposure, which might affect children's respiratory health. Therefo...
Diesel engines have dominated in the heavy-duty vehicular and marine power source. However, the induced air pollution is a big problem. As people's awareness of environmental protection increasing, the emission regulations of diesel-engine are becomi...
BACKGROUND: Data measuring airborne pollutants, public health and environmental factors are increasingly being stored and merged. These big datasets offer great potential, but also challenge traditional epidemiological methods. This has motivated the...

OBJECTIVE: To build a fuzzy computational model to estimate the number of hospitalizations of children aged up to 10 years due to respiratory conditions based on pollutants and climatic factors in the city of São José do Rio Preto, Brazil.
Air pollutant concentration forecasting is an effective method of protecting public health by providing an early warning against harmful air pollutants. However, existing methods of air pollutant concentration prediction fail to effectively model lon...
