  2. Phase I environmental site assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_I_environmental_site...

    Environmental Assessment has little to do with the subject of hazardous substance liability, but rather is a study preliminary to an Environmental Impact Statement, which identifies environmental impacts of a land development action and analyzes a broad set of parameters including biodiversity, environmental noise, water pollution, air ...

  3. Open Air Laboratories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Air_Laboratories

    The OPAL air survey launched in September 2009 and is coordinated by Imperial College London. The survey asks people to look for lichens on trees and tar spot fungus on sycamore leaves and then record their results online. The survey is helping scientists learn more about the effects of air pollution, and is supported by a number of ...

  4. Air pollution measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution_measurement

    Air pollution measurement is the process of collecting and measuring the components of air pollution, notably gases and particulates. The earliest devices used to measure pollution include rain gauges (in studies of acid rain ), Ringelmann charts for measuring smoke , and simple soot and dust collectors known as deposit gauges .

  5. Air pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution

    Air pollution can occur naturally or be caused by human activities. [4] Air pollution causes around 7 or 8 million deaths each year. [5] [6] It is a significant risk factor for a number of pollution-related diseases, including heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and lung cancer.

  6. Emission inventory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_inventory

    An emission inventory (or emissions inventory [1]) is an accounting of the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere.An emission inventory usually contains the total emissions for one or more specific greenhouse gases or air pollutants, originating from all source categories in a certain geographical area and within a specified time span, usually a specific year.

  7. Questionnaire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questionnaire

    A questionnaire is a research instrument that consists of a set of questions (or other types of prompts) for the purpose of gathering information from respondents through survey or statistical study. A research questionnaire is typically a mix of close-ended questions and open-ended questions.

  8. List of most-polluted cities by particulate matter concentration

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-polluted...

    The January 2024 version of the WHO database contains results of ambient (outdoor) air pollution monitoring from almost 5,390 towns and cities in 63 countries. Air quality in the database is represented by the annual mean concentration of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5, i.e. particles smaller than 10 or 2.5 micrometers, respectively). [1 ...

  9. Environmental monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_monitoring

    Passive or "diffusive" air sampling depends on meteorological conditions such as wind to diffuse air pollutants to a sorbent medium. Passive samplers, such as diffusion tubes, have the advantage of typically being small, quiet, and easy to deploy, and they are particularly useful in air quality studies that determine key areas for future continuous monitoring.
