A Review of Photocatalytic Treatment for Various Air PollutantsAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment - Tập 5 - Trang 181-188 - 2011
P. Venkata Laxma Reddy, Ki-Hyun Kim, Yong-Hyun Kim
Photocatalysis is a photochemical catalytic reaction which is a highly promising
tool for the environmental cleanup process. It is very effective in treatment of
environmental pollutants by its unique redox property. It has wide applications
in the treatment of atmospheric pollutants (e.g., nitrogen dioxide,
trichloroethylene, volatile organics, hydrogen sulfide, benzene, etc) through
oxidative re... hiện toàn bộ
Air Pollution Trends in Japan between 1970 and 2012 and Impact of Urban Air Pollution CountermeasuresAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment - Tập 7 - Trang 177-190 - 2013
Shinji Wakamatsu, Tazuko Morikawa, Akiyoshi Ito
Air pollution trends in Japan between 1970 and 2012 were analyzed, and the
impact of air pollution countermeasures was evaluated. Concentrations of CO
decreased from 1970 to 2012, and in 2012, the Japanese environmental quality
standard (EQS) for CO was satisfied. Concentrations of SO2 dropped markedly in
the 1970s, owing to use of desulfurization technologies and low-sulfur heavy
oil. Major reduc... hiện toàn bộ
Air Quality Variation in Daegu, Korea During the Outbreak of COVID-19 and its Health Risk AssessmentAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment - Tập 14 - Trang 253-262 - 2020
Chang-Jin Ma, Gong-Unn Kang
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), first reported in Wuhan, China, became
pandemic in less than two months, and Korea was no exception. Daegu Metropolitan
City, in particular, has become the center of the explosive outbreak in Korea.
In this study, we evaluated how the air quality of Daegu Metropolitan City
varied when people were fighting the spread of COVID-19. In concretely, we tried
to estim... hiện toàn bộ
A CFD Study of Roadside Barrier Impact on the Dispersion of Road Air PollutionAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment - Tập 9 - Trang 22-30 - 2015
Sang Jin Jeong
This study evaluated road shape and roadside barrier impact on near-road air
pollution dispersion using FLUENT computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model.
Simulated road shapes are three types, namely atgrade, depressed, and filled
road. The realizable k−ε model in FLUENT CFD code was used to simulate the flow
and dispersion around road. The selected concentration profile results were
compared with ... hiện toàn bộ
Personal Exposure to PM2.5 in the Massive Transport System of Bogotá and Medellín, ColombiaAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment - Tập 14 - Trang 210-224 - 2020
Maria Paula Castillo-Camacho, Isabel Cristina Tunarrosa-Grisales, Lina María Chacón-Rivera, Marco Andrés Guevara-Luna, Luis Carlos Belalcázar-Cerón
Recent studies have shown that public transport users can be exposed to high
levels of pollution emitted from their own vehicles and nearby sources. The
purpose of this research is to determine the personal exposure of passengers to
PM2.5 inside the vehicles of the massive public transport of two of the main and
more populated cities of Colombia, Bogotá and Medellín. TM (TransMilenio powered

Effect of Precipitation on Air Pollutant Concentration in Seoul, KoreaAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment - - 2014
Suhyang Kim, Ki-Ho Hong, Hwandon Jun, Young-Jae Park, Moojong Park, Young Sunwoo
In this study, long-term rainfall data with irregular spatial distribution in
Seoul, Korea, were separated into individual precipitation events by the
inter-event time definition of 6 hours. Precipitation washout of PM10 and NO2
concentrations in the air considering various complex factors were analyzed
quantitatively. Concentrations of PM10 and NO2 in the atmosphere were lower
under condition of ... hiện toàn bộ
Experimental Studies on the Effects of Ozone on Growth and Photosynthetic Activity of Japanese Forest Tree SpeciesAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment - Tập 5 - Trang 65-78 - 2011
Masahiro Yamaguchi, Makoto Watanabe, Hideyuki Matsumura, Yoshihisa Kohno, Takeshi Izuta
Ozone (O3) is a main component of photochemical oxidants, and a phytotoxic
anthropogenic air pollutant. In North America and Europe, the current
concentration of O3 has been shown to have significant adverse effects on
vegetation. In this review, we summarize the experimental studies on the effects
of O3 on the growth and photosynthetic activity of Japanese forest tree species
to understand the pr... hiện toàn bộ
Bioremediation of Binary System of Reactive Red 120 Dye and Cr(III) Using Aspergillus tamari and Statistical Validation of ResponseAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment - - 2019
Arpita Ghosh, Manisha Ghosh Dastidar, T. R. Sreekrishnan, Pradipta Patra
The efficiency of Aspergillus tamarii (isolated from sludge of a textile
industry) was investigated to remediate the synthetic solutions of reactive red
120 (RR120) dye and chromium(III) separately. Also, parallel studies were
conducted on the bioremediation of binary system of chromium(III) and RR120 dye
in different ratios. The study was conducted to find the potential of the A.
tamarii for remo... hiện toàn bộ
