Associations of meteorological factors and ambient air pollutants with mumps incidence in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region: boosted regression tree model analysis by Xianglong LIU, Linlin CHEN, Jiayu YU, Rui GONG, Yaogeng CHEN, Yu ZHAO

“…MethodsData on the daily number of mumps cases in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from 2015 to 2019 were obtained from the Notifiable Infectious Disease Surveillance System of the region, and data on meteorological factors (daily mean temperature/relative humidity/atmospheric pressure/wind speed) and air pollutants (daily concentrations of ozone, [O3], sulfur dioxide [SO2], carbon monoxide [CO], nitrogen dioxide [NO2], and particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5/10 mum [PM2.5/PM10]) for the same period were obtained from the National Meteorological Science Data Center. A boosted regression tree (BRT) model was used to determine the optimal lag of meteorological factors and air pollutants that best explained mumps cases and to evaluate the associations of meteorological factors and air pollutants with the daily number of mumps cases in the region. …”

Application of Rapid Impacts Assessment Matrix (RIAM) in Detecting Environmental Impacts of Chabahar Desalination Plant by Hasan Sayyad, Mohsen Shahriari Moghaddam, Malihe Erfani, Saeed Mohammadi

“…Discussion: It is necessary to reduce the intensity of their effects by implementing corrective actions and monitoring environmental parameters at the wastewater disposal site, as well as continuously measuring the output pollutants in the surrounding environment and comparing them with national and international standards. The positive effects, due to being categorized as having very little change or positive effect, little change or positive effect, and change or positive effect, indicate the preference for carrying out the project over not doing it.…”
