Passive samplers deployed at 25 sites for three, week-long intervals were used to characterize spatial variability in the mass and composition of coarse particulate matter (PM10-2.5) Cleveland, OH summer 2008. The size individual particles determined using computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (CCSEM-EDS) was then estimate PM10-2.5 concentrations (μg m−3) its components 13 particle classes. highest mean observed three central industrial...
The relationship between nuclear safety culture and performance remains uncertain due to the limited research directly comparing these two variables. This study aimed help address that gap in knowledge by evaluating relationships traits types of measures – personal operations indicators for a U.S. waste cleanup contractor. Data 29 were correlated with data measuring workforce perceptions on defined Institute Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). Correlation regression analyses indicated...
Our primary objective was to provide higher quality, more accessible science address challenges of characterizing local-scale exposures and risks for enhanced community-based assessments environmental decision-making.After identifying community needs, priority issues, current tools, we designed populated the Community-Focused Exposure Risk Screening Tool (C-FERST) in collaboration with stakeholders, following a set defined principles, considered it context justice.C-FERST is geographic...
Passive ambient air sampling for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), coarse particulate matter (PMc), and gaseous ammonia (NH3) was conducted at 22 monitoring sites, a compliance site, background site in the Cleveland, Ohio, USA area during summer 2009 winter 2010. This network established to assess intra–urban gradients of pollutants evaluate impact traffic urban emissions on quality. Method evaluations passive monitors, which were weeklong duration NO2 PMc two–weeklong NH3, demonstrated ability NH3...
Communities are concerned over pollution levels and seek methods to systematically identify prioritize the environmental stressors in their communities. Geographic information system (GIS) maps of can be useful tools for communities assessment environmental‐pollution‐related risks. Databases mapping that supply community‐level estimates ambient concentrations hazardous pollutants, risk, potential health impacts provide relevant understand, identify, exposures risk from multiple sources. An...
Abstract There has been a growing concern about waterborne disease prevalence, especially in underserved communities. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) can control surface runoff, and improve water quality by restoring the pre-development hydrologic cycle while providing social, economic, health benefits. Although stormwater BMPs have proven to effectively impact runoff quantity quality, their effectiveness reduction not investigated. In this study, we quantified for first time of...
Although observational human exposure studies do not deliberately expose participants to chemicals or environmental conditions, merely involving people as research and conducting inside homes raises ethical issues. Community engagement offers a promising strategy for managing these concerns by ensuring that the community has voice in process. ensures aims, study design, dissemination activities are relevant of community. One approach is include qualified members on staff consultants protocol...
Satellite-derived measurements are negatively impacted by cloud cover and surface reflectivity. These biases must be discarded significantly increase the amount of missing data within remote sensing images. This paper expands application a partial convolutional neural network (PCNN) to incorporate depthwise convolution layers, conferring temporal dimensionality imputation process. The addition dimension process adds state successive existence dataset which spatial cannot capture. enables...
