Basner, M. (author), Clark, C. (author), Hansell, A. (author), Hileman, J. (author), Janssen, S. (author), Shepherd, K. (author), Sparrow, V. (author)Noise is defined as 'unwanted sound.' Aircraft noise is one, if not the most detrimental environmental effect of aviation. It can cause community annoyance, disrupt sleep, adversely affect academic performance of children, and could increase the risk for cardiovascular disease of people living in the vicinity of airports. In some airports, noise...article 2017

(author)There is a growing awareness in cities throughout the world that green and blue infrastructure can offer a wide range of ecosystem services to support a healthy urban environment. For example, landscape architects explore possibilities in their design of the urban landscape to use the potential of green elements for regulating air temperature,...report 2016

Salomons, E.M. (author), Lohman, W.J.A. (author), Zhou, H. (author)Propagation of sound waves in air can be considered as a special case of fluid dynamics. Consequently, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for fluid flow can be used for simulating sound propagation. In this article application of the LBM to sound propagation is illustrated for various cases: free-field propagation, propagation over porous and...article 2016

Landa Rivera, G. (author), Reynès, F. (author), Islas Cortes, I. (author), Bellocq, F.X. (author), Grazi, F. (author)This paper simulates the medium- and long-term impact of proposed and expected energy policy on the environment and on the Mexican economy. The analysis has been conducted with a Multi-sector Macroeconomic Model for the Evaluation of Environmental and Energy policy (Three-ME). This model is well suited for policy assessment purposes in the...article 2016

Active transport to school (ATS), namely walking and cycling there, adds to children's activity level. Little is known about how exposures along actual routes influence children's transport behavior. This study examined how natural and built environments influence mode choice among Dutch...article 2016

Vasic, M. (author)Bij de evaluatie van de veiligheid van monumentale gebouwen is de focus meestal gericht op de stabiliteit van dragende bouwdelen. Weinig of geen aandacht wordt in de regel besteed aan constructieve onderdelen die tot doel hebben gevelpanelen of ornamenten te verankeren. Toch kan aantasting van ijzeren of stalen verankeringen met de tijd, door...conference paper 2016

Lu, S. (author), Lin, H.X. (author), Heemink, A. (author), Segers, A. (author), . Fu, G. (author)In this paper, we reconstruct the vertical profile of volcanic ash emissions by assimilating satellite data and ground-based observations using a modified trajectory-based 4D-Var (Trj4DVar) approach. In our previous work, we found that the lack of vertical resolution in satellite ash column data can result in a poor estimation of the injection...article 2016

Blom, J. (author), Keizers, H.L.J. (author)In 2050 zal de gebouwde omgeving netto energieneutraal moeten zijn om de industrie- en transportsector de dan nog benodigde toegang tot fossiele brandstoffen te kunnen geven. Daarom is een netto energie producerende nieuwbouwsector noodzakelijk, naast een in hoge mate energie-efficiënte bestaande bouw. Bij grootschalige toepassing van duurzame...article 2016

Timkovsky, J. (author), Dusek, U. (author), Henzing, J.S. (author), Kuipers, T.L. (author), Röckmann, T. (author), Holzinger, R. (author)We present a novel approach to study the organic composition of aerosol filter samples using thermal-desorption proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (TD-PTR-MS) in the laboratory. The method is tested and validated based on the comparison with in situ TD-PTR-MS measurements. In general, we observe correspondence within the levels of...article 2015

Rosmuller, N. (author)De intensiteit op het spoor- en wegennet in ons land is al hoog en stijgt gestaag door. Dit heeft consequenties voor de veiligheid, niet in de laatste plaats van het vervoer van gevaarlijke stoffen over het spoor Extra maatregelen zijn nodig en dit is een zaak voor zowel de overheid als het bedrijfsleven. Het is dan ook vreemd dat kennis, kunde...article 2015

(author), Ian Gilmour, M. (author)Biodiesel made from the transesterification of plant- and animal-derived oils is an important alternative fuel source for diesel engines. Although numerous studies have reported health effects associated with petroleum diesel emissions, information on biodiesel emissions are more limited. To this end, a program at the U.S. EPA assessed health...article 2015
