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
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

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.

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
