Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on Ambient Air Quality in Northwest China (NWC)

Zaib, Shah; Lu, Jianjiang; Shahid, Muhammad Zeeshaan; Ahmar, Sunny; Shahid, Imran ( MDPI , 2021 , Article)

SARS-CoV-2 was discovered in Wuhan (Hubei) in late 2019 and covered the globe by March 2020. To prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, China imposed a countrywide lockdown that significantly improved the air quality. ...

Mitigation of particulate matters and integrated approach for carbon monoxide remediation in an urban environment

Afifa, Aslam; Ibrahim, Muhammad; Mahmood, Abid; Mubashir, Muhammad; Sipra, Hassaan Fayyaz Khan; ... more authors ... less authors ( ELSEVIER , 2021 , Article)

Air pollution is a serious threat throughout the world and may cause remarkable loss to human health and other living beings. A study was conducted to investigate the main sources of contaminants including CO, fine particle ...

Pollution Characteristics of Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and Constituent Carbonaceous Aerosols in a South Asian Future Megacity

Aslam, Afifa; Ibrahim, Muhammad; Shahid, Imran; Mahmood, Abid; Irshad, Muhammad Kashif; ... more authors ... less authors ( MDPI , 2020 , Article)

The future megacity of Faisalabad is of prime interest when considering environmental health because of its bulky population and abundant industrial and anthropogenic sources of coarse particles (PM10) and fine airborne ...

Atmospheric Black Carbon over Qatar: Seasonal Variability and Source Apportionment

Tutsak, Ersin; Mahfouz, Mohamed M.; Shahid, Imran ( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)

The earth’s atmosphere contains minute particles suspended within it. These atmospheric particles influence the earth's radiation budget through their ability to absorb and scatter radiation. Black carbon (BC) is a type ...

Understanding the role of atmospheric circulations and dispersion of air pollution associated with extreme smog events over South Asian megacity

Bilal, Muhammad; Hassan, Mujtaba; Tahir, Danyal Bin Taufiq; Iqbal, Muhammad Shahid; Shahid, Imran ( Springer , 2022 , Article)

The winter fog/haze events in northeastern Pakistan and surrounding regions of India are often mixed with pollutants to form smog, and consequently damage human health and hampers daily life in the form of fatalities through ...

Long-Term Variability of Aerosol Concentrations and Optical Properties over the Indo-Gangetic Plain in South Asia

Shahid, Imran; Shahid, Muhammad Zeeshaan; Chen, Zhi; Asif, Zunaira ( MDPI , 2022 , Article)

Emissions of atmospheric pollutants are rapidly increasing over South Asia. A greater understanding of seasonal variability in aerosol concentrations over South Asia is a scientific challenge and has consequences due to a ...
