Indoor particulate concentration during biomass burning in central India
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Indoor air particulate (PM) exposure is several folds more dangerous than outdoor air owing to burning of different materials. Burning biomass emits toxic fumes that are found to be associated with numerous health problems such as respiratory diseases, etc. In our study area, approximately 80% of the population of Chhattisgarh state, central India use biomass such as wood, and cow dung as a primary source of domestic energy and therefore require proper study about indoor emission. Thus, the PM10 and associated eight ions i.e. Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, NH4+, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ from the burning of wood and cow dung in indoor in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, central India is investigated. The highest mean concentration of PM10 (17697 µg m-3) and the sum of eight ions, ∑ion8 (38.4 mg m-3), were found from the burning of wood. The indoor concentration of PM10 exceeds the guidelines levels. The wood like Mangifera indica emits the highest concentration of PM10. However, Acacia arabica is found to be acidic in nature. Thus, this result helps us to be aware of the adverse effects of indoor emission from burning. Therefore, the improved models, alternative for energy source and sufficient ventilation are supposed to be recommended option for the future.

BACKGROUND Biomass fuel is the primary source of domestic fuel in much of rural China. Previous studies have not characterized particle exposure through time-activity diaries or personal monitoring in mainland China. OBJECTIVES In this study we characterized indoor and personal particle exposure in six households in northeastern China (three urban, three rural) and explored differences by loc...
متن کاملIndoor PM Pollution and Elevated Blood Pressure: Cardiovascular Impact of Indoor Biomass Burning
Elevated exposures to polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants have been linked to developmental neurotoxicity in children and endocrine disruption in adults. A growing body of evidence shows that children’s bodies have higher levels of PBDEs than adults’, possibly because of greater hand-to-mouth activity. One of the largest studies to date of PBDE uptake in children provides impo...

The Amazon is a significant source of atmospheric methane, but little is known about the source response to increasing drought severity and frequency. We investigated satellite observations of atmospheric column-averaged methane for the 2010 drought and subsequent 2011 wet year in the Amazon using an atmospheric inversion scheme. Our analysis indicates an increase in atmospheric methane over th...

BACKGROUND Biomass burning is an important source of ambient fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) in many regions of the world. METHODS We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study of ambient PM2.5 and hospital admissions for myocardial infarction (MI) in three regions of British Columbia, Canada. Daily hospital admission data were collected between 2008 and 2015 and PM2.5 data were ...
