Heat-related mortality is increasing as the result of climate change, extreme heat events and higher ambient temperature because of urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. We coupled the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRFV3.6.1) with a multi-layer of the Urban Canopy Model (ML-UCM) to investigate the effects of UHI intensity during the 2005 and 2011 heat wave periods in Greater Montreal Area...

Semi-open settings (or hanged walls) above the pedestrian level in street canyons can provide protection to pedestrians from heavy-rain and strong sunshine, but may also influence street ventilation and thus pollutant dispersion. By performing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and employing ventilation concepts of net escape velocity (i.e. diluting rate for exhale effect) and the age...

Nowadays, air pollution is a serious problem in big cities, since municipal solid wastes contain high amounts of organic compounds. The aim of this study is to evaluate the emission inventory of the pollutants emitted from the municipal solid wastes landfill of the city of Borujerd, the capital of Borujerd County, Lorestan Province, in western part of Iran. First, all the necessary information, such...
