The influence of methane emission and hard coal production on air quality and greenhouse effect in 1994-2017 in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (Poland)

(Corresponding) Dreger M.

Topic:

Air pollution

The Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) is the largest coal basin in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. It is the most industrialized region in Poland. The main natural resource and energy raw material is hard coal which was produced by 65 mines in the early nineties. The USCB geology is very...Read more

Impact of traffic management strategies on air quality and health in a Portuguese urban area

(Corresponding) Silveira C., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Miranda A.

Topic:

Air pollution

This paper aims to assess the air quality improvement and resulting health implications in a Portuguese urban area, by testing traffic management scenarios focused on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emission reduction. To that end, an integrated multiscale modelling system was developed and applied for a...Read more

Statistical modeling of meteorological conditions and air pollution over Athens, Greece

(Corresponding) DELIGIORGI D., PHILIPPOPOULOS K., DIAMANTI A.

Topic:

Air pollution

The importance of meteorological parameters and topography in determining the air pollution levels in a specific area is well established. The aim of this study is to model the association between air pollution levels and meteorological parameters for a single site in Athens, Greece. The...Read more

Influence of Varying Concentration of Toluene in a Soil Biofilter with Water Content Control

Badilla D.

Topic:

Air pollution

Contaminant concentration affects rate of removal of air contaminant in biofiltration. In this study, extent of degradation rate at varying concentrations of toluene (from 50 to 700 ppm) as the air contaminant in terms of elimination capacity (EC) was measured in a soil biofilter with water content...Read more

Monitoring of bio-aerosols, gaseous and Particulate Matter (PM) pollution of Wawel Royal Castle in Krakow, Poland.

(Corresponding) Dyda M., Pyzik A., Drabik P., Istel L., Wiłkojć E., Buchwald-Zięcina O., Bogdanowicz-Prus A., Skłodowska A.

Topic:

Air pollution

Krakow is now firmly established as one of the Europe’s top tourist destinations and, at the same time, it is one of the cities with the worst air quality in Europe. The Wawel Royal Castle is of the most important museum and predominatingly visited attraction of the city of Krakow (in 2017, the...Read more
