Air pollution is a global issue affecting health and the environment. This study investigated associations between PM10, NO2, and admissions from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases in Makkah (2019–2022), comparing Hajj cultural events and...

In recent years, coal-combustion-related air pollution has declined markedly, whereas tropospheric ozone (O3) pollution has emerged as a growing environmental concern. Long-term exposure to O3 can severely impact human health and ecosystems, constrai...

Clear-air turbulence (CAT), as a key meteorological hazard threatening aviation safety, urgently requires the revelation of its spatiotemporal distribution patterns and formation mechanisms within the China region. Based on the first release of 12,53...

The solar terminator, due to its unique characteristics, is a remarkable source of atmospheric disturbances. Due to its regularity and constancy, dependent solely on geometric factors, it can serve as a test source of disturbances, which can be used...

Residential buildings, the bastions of shelter and protection, are facing an escalating threat from climate change. The need to bolster the resilience of UK residential buildings is becoming more urgent, given the nature and frequency of the impact o...

While many studies on the health effects of PM2.5 exist, the risks of PM2.5 species remain largely unexplored in Middle Eastern and North African countries. This study assesses, for the first time, the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks f...

The development of nuclear energy in Jordan necessitates a detailed understanding of local meteorological behavior, particularly during unfavorable weather conditions. This study uses the METEO mesoscale model to simulate wind fields, vertical motion...

Motor vehicle emissions are a major air quality concern in Chinese cities. However, traditional population-based emission inventory methods fail to capture the spatial and temporal variations in emissions for effective policy design. This study propo...

With the rapid acceleration of industrialization and urbanization in China, PM2.5 pollution has emerged as a major challenge to public health and sustainable development of the society and economy. At the interprovincial level, PM2.5 exhibits a compl...

Black carbon (BC) aerosols significantly impact regional air quality and global climate as important light-absorbing atmospheric particles. Using high-temporal resolution BC observation data from urban and suburban sites in Hangzhou and PM10 concentr...
