A Review of the Toxicity of 0.1 to 1 Micron Aerodynamic Diameter Airborne Particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanoparticles have been defined as particles having one or more dimensions < 100 nanometers [nm] or 0.1 microns. They are so small they have different physical properties than conventional crystals of the same chemical. They have promising applications; a benefit is that airborne nanomaterials (NM) can condense with and clean smoke from the air more quickly than the smoke would settle without assistance because their surface is very active. Because of their nanocrystalline structure, a higher portion of their molecules are on the surface and may interact with airborne particles.

Original Contribution Particulate Air Pollution and Mortality in the United States: Did the Risks Change
Evaluation of the public health impact of air quality regulations, referred to as accountability research, is increasingly viewed as a necessary component of responsible governmental policy interventions. The authors present an example of accountability assessment based on evaluating change in the short-term effect of airborne particles over a period of increasingly stringent regulation that mi...

This is the second of series on the impact of dust. It focuses on the physical, chemical and physiological effects of dust particles and aerosols. Plants of all types and classes (from algae to forest trees and everything in between) are adversely affected either directly through abrasion by airborne particles or through interference with plant physiology or indirectly through the impact on soi...

The presence of Damghan Erg in West of Damghan Playa indicates high wind activity in this desert region. Due to technological advances and population growth in recent decades, large parts of past land uses have changed. These changes can exacerbate wind erosion and affect lands sedimentation. In this study, first, the land use maps of years 1974 and 2003 were prepared. The comparison of these m...

Background and aims: Extensive industrial and production activities are one of the major sources of dust. In many cases, cyclones are used as the control measure. The removal efficiency of dust in cyclones depends on different factors. Some of these factors are, the design parameters, e.g. cyclone diameter, particle density, operating temperature and fluid physical properties, density of gas ...
متن کاملComparison of size and morphological measurements of coarse mode dust particles from Africa
[1] A multitude of sensitivity studies in the literature point to the importance of proper chemical and morphological characterization of particles when the radiative impacts of airborne dusts are modeled. However, the community data set is based on heterogeneous measurement methods relying on varying aerodynamic, chemical, morphological, and optical means. During the Puerto Rico Dust Experimen...
