Effects of travel mode on exposures to particulate air pollution (Publications)
Individual journey times ranged from 1.5 to 15 min by car (average 3.7 min) and 7.3 to 30 min (average 12.8 min) whilst walking; car trips were therefore repeated up to 5 times for each single walking trip [...] of those while driving, by a factor 4.7 for the coarse particle mass (PM10-PM2.5), 2.2 for the fine particle mass (PM2.5-PM1), 1.9 for the very fine particle mass (

Effects of climate variability on malaria transmission in southern Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa (Publications)
transmissions in both scenarios (RCP8.5 and RCP4.5) for the time period 2030 to 2080. The monthly EIR for RCP8.5 was very high (1.74 to 1131.71 bites/person) compared to RCP4.5 (0.48 to 908 bites/person). These [...] Côte d’Ivoire. First, we tested the suitability of VECTRI in modeling malaria transmission using ERA5 temperature data and ARC2 rainfall data. We then used the projected climatic data pertaining to 2030
Agreement of land use regression models with personal exposure measurements of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides air pollution (Publications)
The measured components were particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 2.5 mum (PM2.5), soot (reflectance of PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). In Helsinki, Utrecht and Barcelona [...] concentrations and personal exposure in Utrecht and Helsinki, whereas NOx and PM2.5 LUR models did not predict personal exposure. PM2.5, NO2 and NOx models were correlated with personal soot, the component least

Concurrent spatiotemporal daily land use regression modeling and missing data imputation of fine particulate matter using distributed space-time... (Publications)
(D-STEM) software was developed. We trained the model using daily mean ambient particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) data measured hourly in 2015 at 30 regulatory monitoring network stations within the megacity [...] Iran. Since a substantial amount of measured data were missing (48% of the total number of daily PM2.5 observations), we used the D-STEM to impute missing data and compared the missing imputation performance [...] in MAPE of 28.3%. The spatiotemporal R-squared was 0.73 and the average...
Geographic density of landfill sites and risk of congenital anomalies in England (Publications)
risk of congenital anomalies in relation to an index of geographic density of landfill sites across 5x5 km grid squares in England. METHODS: 2 km zones were constructed in a geographical information system [...] was calculated to represent the geographic density of landfill sites within 2 km of births for each 5x5 km grid square, calculated separately for landfill sites handling special, and non-special or unknown [...] certain congenital anomalies and geographic density of special (hazardous)...
