Airborne Particulate Matter: Pollution Prevention and Control
Measures such as improved process design, operation, maintenance, housekeeping, and other management practices can reduce emissions. By improving combustion efficiency, the amount of products of incomplete combustion (PICs), a component of particulate matter, can be significantly reduced. Proper fuel-firing practices and combustion zone configuration, along with an adequate amount of excess air...
متن کاملBiomonitoring of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) using magnetic properties of Ficus bengalensis tree leaves in Aizawl, Mizoram, North-East India
Particulate matter (PM) is one of the most harmful pollution components widely present in the environment. It has been demonstrated that magnetic measurement is an important means in PM pollution study through plant leaves. Plants species are found as effective biomonitors and may act as natural filters by trapping and retaining PM on their surfaces. In the present study, Ficus bengalensis tree...
متن کاملAirborne Particulate Matter Density in Traditional Bakeries of Saveh, Central of Iran, in 2020
Introduction: High concentration of inhalable airborne particles can increase the risk of lung disease in exposed people. This study aimed to determine the respirable particulate matter (PM5) concentration in traditional bakeries of Saveh in 2020. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 25 bakeries where the samples were collected by cyclone and teflon...
متن کاملAirborne particulate matter and mitochondrial damage: a cross-sectional study
UNLABELLED Oxidative stress generation is a primary mechanism mediating the effects of Particulate Matter (PM) on human health. Although mitochondria are both the major intracellular source and target of oxidative stress, the effect of PM on mitochondria has never been evaluated in exposed individuals. METHODS In 63 male healthy steel workers from Brescia, Italy, studied between April and May...
متن کاملMutagenicity of airborne particulate matter PM10.
Mutagenic activity of extractable organic matter (EOM), from airborne particles collected over winters in four towns of Czech Republic, was investigated by the means of Salmonella typhimurium indicator strains TA98 and YG1041 using the Ames plate incorporation assay. Mutagenicity of all tested samples showed significant dose-related increase in number of revertants per mg of EOM. The direct mut...
