As a result of anthropogenic climate change, an alteration in the air mixture has occurred over time. These changes have increased human exposures to respiratory irritants such as ground-level ozone, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Regarding aeroallergens, studies have shown that elevated temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels have produced prolonged and more robust pollen seasons for most taxa studied.

This chapter supports UN SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 13 (Climate Action) by advancing the understanding and utilization of geothermal resources to promote sustainable and clean energy solutions, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.

This study introduces the VSAC model, a hybrid data compression approach designed for real-time, efficient transmission of vital signs in smart city healthcare systems. By combining lossy and lossless techniques within an edge-fog-cloud architecture, it addresses bandwidth and storage challenges while ensuring prompt health notifications.
