Toxic air pollutants, also known as hazardous air pollutants, are those that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as birth defects or adverse environmental outcomes. The aim of this research was to predict air toxics related health risks due to different em...

A mathematical model was developed to quantify the environmental impact produced by the gases
emission from sanitary landfills. The stages of gas generation and diffusion were modeled using waste and cover materials placed in a landfill over an isotropic porous medium, while the dispersion stage ...

Temuco is one of the most highly wood-smoke-polluted cities in the world. Its population in 2004 was 340,000 inhabitants with 1587 annual deaths, of which 24% were due to cardiovascular and 11% to respiratory causes. For hospital admissions, cardiovascular diseases represented 6% and respiratory ...

Hybrid power systems were used to minimize
the environmental impact of power generation
at GSM (global systems for mobile communication)
base station sites. This paper presents the comparative
environmental impact assessment of a diesel
gas (DG) and hybrid (PV/wind/hydro/diesel) power
system for ...
There is a need to quantify the environmental impact of powering macro base transmitter station sites with diesel generators. The energy consumption of diesel generators to power base stations for telecommunication networks is a contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper pre...
