Inappropriate measures of exposure, including inadequate consideration of latency in the analysis of chronic effects of air pollution, may lead to overestimation of the impact of air pollution on health effects. A relatively simple way to check the plausibility of results on chronic effects of air pollution would be to report in parallel the smoking‐associated risks.

"Episodes of air pollution throughout the 20th and 21st centuries have had a huge influence socially, economically and politically. From the Great Smog of London to the Kuwait Oil Fires, and from the ashes of Mount St Helens to air pollution in Beijing, this book chronicles their enduring legacies in medicine, science and public policy. Using technical information and insight from witnesses directly involved in the incidents, ten key episodes are brought together to allow comparison and analysis. Written for students, academics and professionals of atmospheric physics and chemistry, environmental science, public policy and other clinical disciplines, Air Pollution Episodes provides the unique opportunity to understand and learn from the most famous and sometimes devastating incidences of air pollution globally."--Publisher's website

The magnitude of Air contamination in advanced countries is depreciating drastically as observed in ongoing analysis as compared to previous decade. Notwithstanding, in developing nations and countries pursuing industrialization and automation, the moderate significant levels of air contamination still serves as a threat, in spite of that the levels have been gradually decreasing or have remained static during fast monetary improvement. Recently, hundreds of examinations in accordance with spread and management of disease have risen demonstrating unpleasant healthy consequences concern with present moment and prolong exposure to the toxins present in the air. Periodic research and studies held in Asian and developed areas moreover indicated comparative healthy outcome on impermanence of humanity related with association to particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to those examined in Europe and North America.The Present work is an effort to critically analyze the air pollution by machine learning and its adverse effects on Human Health.

Background: As a result of expansion and development in Bangkok, traffic policemen have higher risks to expose air pollution. Air pollution results from several pollutants which mainly caused by road vehicles. This study aimed to examine the association between knowledge and perception of adverse health effects. In addition, self-prevention from air pollution of traffic policemen in Bangkok is also studied.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out by random sampling and self-administrated questionnaires from 223 traffic policemen worked in interesting area as Jatujak, PomPrapSattruPhai, Din Daeng and Rat Burana district, Bangkok, Thailand. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and analytical statistics in terms of the Chi-square test and Fisher Exact Test.Results: The result indicated that the respondents were 100% male and 45.7% aged between 41-50 years, 44.4% in Bachelor's degree and found that 72.2% of respondents had not received information, and 74.4 % had not been trained. Most of respondents had knowledge at moderate level 48.4 %. A minority of respondents had the perception of adverse health effects at poor level 2.7 % and had self-prevention behavior from air pollution at poor level 3.1 %. Furthermore, the knowledge was associated with socio-demographics characteristics in terms of education level, frequency of exercise, chronic disease, had got information about air pollution and health effect and had been trained on prevention of air pollution at p-value as 0.011, 0.001, 0.028, 0.011 and 0.005, respectively. Knowledge of respondents associated with perception of adverse health effect (p-value = 0.001) and also associated with self-prevention behavior from air pollution (p-value <0.001). Last, the perception of adverse health effects associated with self-prevention behavior from air pollution (p-value <0.05).Conclusion: Government agencies and related organizations shall provide traffic policemen with proactive programs in terms of knowledge about air pollution prevention behavior and enhance health effect perception from air pollution in order to have more appropriate prevention behaviors.

An important purpose of The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry is to aid the understanding of distribution and chemical reaction processes which occur in the environment. Volume 4, Part B of this series is dedicated to Air Pollution Control Equipment, Materials Damage, Peroxyacyl Nitrates, Semivolatile Compounds in the Atmosphere, and Arctic Haze
