Bioaccessibility of Airborne Particulate-Bound Trace Elements in Shanghai and Health Risk Assessment
Increased concentrations of airborne particulate matter in megacities within China, caused by rapid economic growth, urbanization and industrialization, have become a major health concern. High energy consumption, emissions from a large fleet of on-road vehicles and intense industrial activities all contributed to the deterioration of urban air quality in China. In this study, we investigated t...
متن کاملPartitioning between soluble and insoluble fractions of major and trace elements in size-classified airborne particulate matter collected in Tokyo.
Airborne particulate matter (APM) is a major air pollutant, and the effect on human health of fine APM (PM2.5) deposited deep inside the lungs has recently become a serious concern. Moreover, soluble constituents may leach from APM, and intensify some health disorders. To identify the soluble chemical constituents of APM, size-classified APM was sampled in central Tokyo, and the elemental compo...
متن کاملDetermination of selected trace elements in airborne aerosol particles using different sample preparation.
Determination of trace element concentrations in atmospheric aerosols is important because of their toxic effects on human health. Additionally, they are now widely used in source apportionment studies. There is a number of methods for sample preparation of ambient particulate matter. One of the most widely used is microwave-assisted digestion of filter-based samples. Since the water-soluble fr...

Activation analysis is one of the major techniques for the determination of many minor and trace elements in a large variety of solid environmental and pollution samples, such as atmospheric aerosols, particulate emissions, fly ash, coal, incineration ash and sewage sludge, etc. Neutron activation analysis of total, inhalable or respirable airborne particulate matter collected on a filter or in...
متن کاملPM10 concentrations, trace elements and sources’ identification in three representative receptors of Western Macedonia, Greece
Many epidemiological studies have revealed consistent associations between ambient concentrations of inhalable (PM10) particles and their elemental composition with adverse respiratory health effects. On the other hand, suspended particulate matter emissions from several types of sources can be identified by the investigation of their particle element composition. The objectives of this work we...
