The effect of traction sanding on urban suspended particles in Finland.

چکیده
Springtime urban road dust forms one of the most serious problems regarding air pollution in Finland. The composition and origin of springtime dust was studied in southern Finland with two different methods. Suspended particles (PM10 and TSP) were collected with high volume particle samplers and particle deposition was collected with moss bags. The composition of the PM(1.5-10) fraction was studied using individual particle analysis with SEM/EDX. The deposition in the moss bags was analysed with ICP-MS. The results showed that during the study period, approximately 10% of both PM(1.5-10) particles and the deposition originated from sanding. Other sources in the springtime PM(1.5-10) were e.g. asphalt aggregate or soil and combustion processes. It can be concluded that sanding produced a relatively small amount of particulate matter under the investigated circumstances.

Abstract: Background and Aim: Considering that suspended particles are one of the main pollutants of air in cities. Since the prevention of contamination beyond the standard level and the economic and health issues of employees and individuals involved in the enclosed environment is very important, the research team concluded that the effect of fan coils at the dispersion of suspended particle...
متن کاملProperties and toxicological effects of particles from the interaction between tyres, road pavement and winter traction material.
In regions where studded tyres and traction material are used during winter, e.g. the Nordic countries, northern part of USA, Canada, and Japan, mechanically generated particles from traffic are the main reason for high particle mass concentrations in busy street and road environments. In many Nordic municipalities the European environmental quality standard for inhalable particles (PM(10)) is ...

One of the main causes of air pollution in the arid areas of world, especially in Iran, is the increase of the PM10 concentration. The main objective of this research is to identify the most important climatic factors affecting the change of PM10 concentration near Yazd-Ardakan plain and its relation with wind erosion occurrence during the period from 2012 to 2017. For this purpose, the monthly...
متن کاملGeomechanical Sanding Prediction in Oil Fields by Wellbore Stability Charts
Sand production is a universally encountered issue during the exploration of unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs particularly during production. The production of sand particles with the reservoir fluids depends on the stress around a wellbore and the properties of the reservoir rocks and fluids. Therefore, it is crucial to predict under what production conditions sanding will occur and when sa...
