Emission factor is a relative measure and can be used to estimate emissions from multiple sources of air pollution. For this reason, data from literature on particulate matter emission factors from different types of biomass ...

A mathematical model was applied to describe the removal of particulate matter in a real-scale lawn-lined channel. For this purpose different initial concentrations (Co) of particulate matter were investigated, as follows: ...

© 2016 The Authors Emissions from motor vehicles are considered to be one of the main sources of airborne particulate matter in Santiago. International researchers have shown that particulate matter contains metal oxides ...

The number of fires in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest has increased in recent years. Particulate matter emitted from these fires can affect different locations, depending on air mass trajectories. Characterization of such ...

BACKGROUND: Formation of pterygium has been mainly attributed to exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Other factors such as dry weather, wind exposure and microtrauma with dust particles, have been linked to development ...

This research will focus on proposing a model based on surveys conducted among people of the affected area. The questions were classified by indicators and variables selected to generate solutions to reduce social conflicts, ...
