Assessing the health benefits of urban air pollution reductions associated with climate change mitigation (2000-2020): Santiago, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, and New York City
(US DEPT HEALTH HUMAN SCIENCES PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCE, 2001)
To investigate the potential local health benefits of adopting greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies, we develop scenarios of GHG mitigation for Mexico City, Mexico; Santiago, Chile; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and New York, New ...
Development of a sensitive passive sampler using indigotrisulfonate for the determination of tropospheric ozone
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2010-01-01)
A new sampling and analytical design for measurement of ambient ozone is presented. The procedure is based on ozone absorption and decoloration (at 600 nm) of indigotrisulfonate dye, where ozone adds itself across the ...
