The variability of the North Atlantic Subtropical High and its influence on the behavior of tropical cyclogenesis are characterized and analyzed. The database of the Center for Environmental Prediction and the Center for Atmospheric Research was cons...

The occurrence of earthquakes, which can strike suddenly without any warning, has always posed a potential threat to humanity. However, researchers worldwide have been diligently studying the mechanisms and patterns of these events in order to develo...

Air pollution is a serious issue in most parts of Bihar, especially in its capital city, Patna. The air quality in Patna has significantly worsened due to factors like rapid urbanization, increased traffic, and various natural and human-related cause...

The fashion industry is one of the world’s largest and third most polluting industries. It produces a carbon footprint of around 10% annually, which is much higher than the footprint produced by flights and shipping. Nowadays, there is an incre...

Exposure to chemicals in many occupational and environmental settings has the capacity to significantly disturb the commensal microbiota that symbiotically reside in humans. However, much more is known about gut microbiota (GM) than lung microbiota (...

A comprehensive study was executed within the urban vicinity of Kenitra city, covering the period from 2020 to 2021. During this study, 60 effective PM_2.5 samples were collected in a period of 24 h using a dichotomous sampler and Nuclepore track-etch...

Air pollution caused by biomass burning is the main environmental concern in Mozambique. This paper investigates the effect of biomass combustion on air quality, focusing on the sources of pollution, pollutants released, and health and environmental...

The layer of the Earth’s atmosphere known as the ionosphere presents a significant obstacle to global satellite navigation systems (GNSS) due to its ability to introduce errors. To address this challenge, various navigation systems have introdu...

Volcanoes are not traditionally considered to be significant sources of black carbon particles for the stratosphere. The main reason for this well-established view is the absence of appreciable traces of black carbon in volcanic emissions. Recently,...

The increased concentration of pollutants is a challenge to the health of the population. This work aims to investigate the health risk that is related to the pollutants’ level in the center of Rhodes city. Rhodes Island is a desirable tourist...

We examine several different features of DSDs based on data and observations from two mid-latitude coastal locations: (a) the Delmarva peninsula, USA, and (b) Incheon, South Korea. In each case, the full DSD spectra were obtained from two collocated...

In this work, the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were filled with cobaltocene. The growth properties of individual chirality nanotubes were studied with Raman spectroscopy. It was shown that the larger nanotubes grow slower. The growth of in...

Delhi is one of the most densely populated megacities in the world, and it is experiencing deteriorating air quality due to rapid industrialization and excessive use of transportation. The limited emission control measures in Delhi have led to worsen...
