  2. Air pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution

    Based on the 2021 WHO air quality standards, 99% of the world population is exposed to harmful air pollution. [9] The risk of air pollution is determined by the pollutant's hazard and the amount of exposure to that pollutant. Air pollution exposure can be measured for a person, a group, such as a neighborhood or a country's children, or an ...

  3. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    Calculation of the speed difference for a uniform acceleration. Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period. A frequently cited example of uniform acceleration is that of an object in free fall in a uniform gravitational field.

  4. Air pollution in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution_in_the...

    A 2020 paper reported that about half of air pollution and half of the resulting deaths are caused by emissions from outside a given state's boundaries, typically from prevailing winds moving west to east. [9] Regulation of air pollution is a shared responsibility between federal, state, and local governments.

  5. Environmental monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_monitoring

    Air quality monitors are operated by citizens, [3] [4] [5] regulatory agencies, [6] [7] non-governmental organisations [8] and researchers [9] to investigate air quality and the effects of air pollution. Interpretation of ambient air monitoring data often involves a consideration of the spatial and temporal representativeness [10] of the data ...

    In short, yes, air pollution can increase risks of developing or irritating symptoms of type 2 diabetes, according to multiple studies. A study by the Washington University School of Medicine and ...

  7. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Consequently, the acceleration is the second derivative of position, [7] often written . Position, when thought of as a displacement from an origin point, is a vector: a quantity with both magnitude and direction. [9]: 1 Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities as well. The mathematical tools of vector algebra provide the means to ...

  8. Outline of air pollution dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_air_pollution...

    There are five types of air pollution dispersion models, as well as some hybrids of the five types: [1] Box model – The box model is the simplest of the model types. [2] It assumes the airshed (i.e., a given volume of atmospheric air in a geographical region) is in the shape of a box.
