This has been maximized as Israeli closure of major roads resulted in major congestion in most of Palestinian cities in West Bank, which causes high emissions of exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO). nitrogen oxides (NOx). particulate matters (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sulphur dioxide (SO2). In order that traffic induced pollution can be assessed in Palestine. in this paper, an approach is presented by which the traffic emissions can be estimated relying on the emission factors as input together with vehicle types, annual traveled distance, etc.. The outcomes cover the emission from the various types of vehicles in West Bank.展开更多

This report is presenting the medical literature of 74 cases, which experienced severe adverse reactions or deaths that resulted from the administration of the plant juice. The survey of these human cases exhibits several adverse effects such as: acute rhinitis, uvular edema, soft palate, upper airway edema. In conclusion, the use of EE juice in folk medicine can cause severe adverse reactions that should not be ignored but it should be medically treated.展开更多
