In this paper, we present a statistical analysis of the main air pollutants and life expectancy in some countries from Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. We use statistical tools to describe and model air pollution data. The data involve a period of 18 years and include the annual average concentrations volatile organic compound, particulate matters, nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulphur oxides (SOX). The descriptive analysis of these variables is presented, before the model of the dependence between them, in order to discover the relationship between them. The correlation and regression analysis allow to find precisely formula of the connections that link life expectancy (LE) and the main air pollutants. The results obtained in this study reveals a new perspective of health and air quality and also, they present a new tool for all national and international agency for arguing that reducing the air pollution is closely related to a long-life expectancy.

Abstract The present paper discusses a novel methodology based on neural network to determine air pollutants’ correlation with life expectancy in European countries. The models were developed using historical data from the period 1992–2016, for a set of 20 European countries. The subject of the analysis included the input variables of the following air pollutants: sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matters, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and non-methane volatile organic compounds. Our main findings indicate that all the variables significantly affect life expectancy. Sensitivity of constructed neural networks to pollutants proved to be particularly important in the case of changes in the value of particulate matters, sulphur oxides and non-methane volatile organic compounds. The most frequent association was found for fine particle. Modelled courses of changes in the variable under study coincide with the actual data, which confirms that the proposed models generalize acquired knowledge well.

Road transport has become the major source of environmental pollution and it is also one of the biggest environmental risks in the EU countries. Good air quality is very important for population as pollutants have negative impacts on human health. The paper deals with relationship between air pollutants generated by road transport and the life expectancy in EU countries. At the beginning of the paper the main pollutants from motor vehicles are described and impact on human health is summarized too. We use regression analysis of panel data to analyse the relationship between chosen air pollutants and life expectancy. Our results show negative impacts of nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide, specifically reduction in life expectancy by 1.49 years for nitrogen oxides and 0.28 years for sulphur oxides with an increase of the pollutant by 1%. So according to our findings economic policy makers should focus primarily on the reduction of nitrogen and sulphur oxides.

Abstract Along the years, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified many air pollutants components as carcinogens, including solvents, diesel engine exhaust, metals, such as chromium, nickel, arsenic, and cadmium. The IARC list of Group 1 carcinogens includes benzene, diesel exhaust, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon [PAH]), indoor emissions from coal combustion, and 1,3-buta-diene. Sources, mainly combustion-related, that emit airborne carcinogens can be both in indoor and outdoor. In 2013, the IARC has classified outdoor air pollution and one of its major components, particulate matter (PM), as carcinogenic. In its evaluation, the IARC suggested sufficient evidence showing that exposure to outdoor air pollution and PM causes lung cancer and it noted that a positive association between such pollution and an increased risk of bladder cancer. The association between exposure to air pollutant and cancer risk has been investigated in cohort studies and the results are generally consistent, indicating that long-term exposure to air pollution can cause lung cancer and increase risks of cancer in other locations. The use of the information on carcinogenicity is fundamental to produce estimates to quantify risks and impacts on exposed population. WHO in several recent activities has addressed this issue. For example, it is also under consideration by various experts in the framework of the Task Force for Health (TFH) of the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution. The discussion of this session will focus on the implications and the challenges to integrate toxicological and epidemiological evidence of identified air carcinogens in health in risk and impact assessment.

Air pollutants, including PM2.5, SO2, NOX and CO, were measured in Al-Hassan industrial estate (HIE) in Irbid Governorate, 72 Km north of Amman. Data relating to pollution in HIE has been collected from all sources that had measured the level of pollution in this area during the period from Nov.2010 to Nov.2011. The effects of local meteorological conditions were studied by statistical analysis. The main results of the study show that the gaseous pollutants levels monitored were low and no exceedances to the Jordanian standards limit of the ambient air no. 1140/2006 for NO2, SO2 and CO limits. It has, indeed, shown that PM2.5 levels exceeded the daily limit specified in the Jordanian Standards. This might be attributed to the prevailing Khamasin winds, which become active in spring, especially between April and May, in addition to the high temperature and the low average of rainfall and the lack of humidity, thus helping the increase of the suspended air in the atmosphere.

Abstract Part of the National Strategy of Sustainable Development from Romania, life expectancy and air pollution indicators have an important role in establishing long term public health management strategies. International scientific literature within the field underlines the strong connection between air pollution and life expectancy. This research study focuses on the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, particulate matter air pollutants, ozone air pollutants on the length of life at 65 years old and life expectancy at birth of the population from Romania. The methods used for research are correlation and linear regression. Our results will be a starting point for further development of public health policies in developing countries, which mostly focus on socio-economic aspects, neglecting the negative impact of air pollution.

Increased international awareness of growing global air pollution issues resulted in adoption of measures necessary to reduce ships’ emissions into the atmosphere. The MARPOL convention with 1997 Protocol amendments included a new Annex VI which for the first time regulates harmful compounds emitted from ships on international voyages. The Parties of the 1997 Protocol have incorporated the MARPOL convention regulations within their own national legislation., An International Air Pollution Prevention (IAPP) certificate is issued to ships flying their flag by a recognized organization/classification society. The IAPP certificate serves as proof of a ship’s compliance with these regulations, thus assuring a ships’ seaworthiness. This paper summarises the most important provisions of Annex VI as applied to air pollutants from marine diesel engines, namely nitrogen and sulphur oxides, particulate matter and carbon dioxide. Recent studies proved that once adopted, Annex VI regulations have positive effect on the reduction of air pollution from ships. The Annex VI regulations present a major challenge and obligation to stakeholders in the shipping industry. Marine diesel engines are the most common choice to propel merchant ships compared with competitive alternatives. Engine manufacturers are particularly affected, as these regulations have necessitated the development of cleaner marine diesel engines and additional innovative technological solutions.

This study aims to analyze whether the performance of regional financial management influences economic growth in Depok City, analyzes whether the performance of regional financial management influences unemployment in Depok City, and analyzes whether the performance of regional financial management affects poverty in Depok City with the 2006 study period- 2015 The analysis method used is quantitative descriptive analysis and simple linear regression statistical analysis. Based on the results of hypothesis testing it can be proven that the performance of regional financial management (independence ratio) has a positive and significant effect on economic growth, this can be seen from the value of sig. 0.046 <0.05 with a regression coefficient of 1.883. Then the performance of regional financial management has a negative and significant effect on unemployment, this can be seen from the value of sig. 0.030 <0.05 with a regression coefficient of -6.864. But the performance of regional financial management has no significant effect on poverty, this can be seen from the sig. 0.065> 0.05 with a regression coefficient of -0.512. This can be due to the still high income gap in the community, so that the increasing regional income has not been able to significantly reduce poverty in Depok.
