NLRP3 inflammasome activation determines the fibrogenic potential of PM2.5 air pollution particles in the lung

Airborne fine particulate matter(PM_2.5) is known to cause respiratory inflammation such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung fibrosis. NLRP3 inflammasome activation has been implicated in these diseases; however, due to the complexity in PM_2.5compositions, it is difficult to differentiate the roles of the components in triggering this pathway. We collected eight real-life PM_2.5samples for a comparative analysis of their effects on NLRP3 inflammasome ...

Relationship between types of urban forest and PM2.5 capture at three growth stages of leaves

Particulate matter diameter ≤ 2.5 μm(PM2.5) causes direct harm to human health. Finding forms of urban forest systems that with the ability to reduce the amount of particulate matter in air effectively is the aim of this study. Five commonly cultivated kinds of urban forest types were studied in Beijing city at three stages of leaf growth. Results show that the urban forest system is capable of storing and capturing dust from the air. The types of shrubs and broadleaf trees that have the ability to capture PM2.5from the air are most effective when leaves have fully developed. In the leafless season, the conifer and mixed tree types are the most effective in removing dust from the air. For all kinds of forest types and stages of leaf growth, the PM2.5concentration is highest in the morning but lower in the afternoon and evening. Grassland cannot control particles suspended in the air,but can reduce dust pollution caused by dust from the ground blown by the wind back into the air.

成都市冬季相对湿度对颗粒物浓度和大气能见度的影响

利用成都市城区2015年12月的连续在线观测数据,如相对湿度（RH）、能见度、颗粒物（PM₁₀、PM_2.5和PM₁）浓度、气态污染物（SO₂和NO₂）浓度以及PM_2.5中SO₄^2-和NO₃^-浓度,探讨RH对颗粒物浓度和大气能见度的影响.结果表明,高颗粒物浓度和高RH协同作用导致低能见度事件.观测阶段,PM_2.5在PM₁₀中的平均比重为64%,表明成都市冬季细颗粒物污染严重;随着RH增加,PM_2.5/PM₁₀显著增加,表明高RH会加重细颗粒物污染.随着PM_2.5浓度增加,能见度呈幂指数下降;在相同PM_2.5浓度下,RH越高,能见度越低.当颗粒物浓度较低时,RH对能见度的影响作用较强;当颗粒物浓度较高时,大气消光主要由PM_2.5浓度控制,RH对能见度的影响减弱.当RH大于70%时,硫氧化率（SOR）和氮氧化率（NOR）的均值分别从0.27和0.11（RH小于40%）增长至0.40和0.19,表明较高RH对二次硫酸盐和硝酸盐的生成有显著的促进作用,二次硫酸盐和硝酸盐单独或协同影响空气质量.     

2017年厦门金砖会晤期间气象因素与管控措施对空气质量的影响

2017年厦门金砖会晤期间采取了大气污染临时管控措施,使AQI小时值和日均值均达到了双优的预期目标.本文根据管控措施实施的前、中、后阶段,厦门及周边城市大气污染物浓度的变化,对气象因素和人为因素的影响分别进行分析.结果发现,气态污染物对临时管控措施的敏感性最强,SO₂和NO₂的降幅（39.9%和25.6%）明显高于PM_2.5和PM₁₀的降幅（5.5%和4.8%）,台风外围带来的大风和降水可显著改变大气污染物的周期性变化规律.大气PM_2.5组成及SO₂/NO₂、SO₄^2-/NO₃^-、OC/EC和WSOC/OC等比值变化显示机动车（尤其是柴油货车）是本地区大气污染物的重要来源.控制变量分析显示,厦门金砖会晤期间气象因素对颗粒物和NO₂削减的贡献更大（20.3%）,而临时管控措施对SO₂的削减效果更明显（23.2%）,且有一半以上（51%~64%）的大气污染物来自外来源输送.     

利用多元线性回归方法评估气象条件和控制措施对APEC期间北京空气质量的影响

气象条件对大气污染物的扩散和传输有重要影响,准确分离和定量气象因素对空气质量的影响是评估大气污染控制政策有效性的前提.本研究利用APEC会议期间及前后(2014-10-15～2014-11-30)北京城区朝阳观测站点SO_2、NO、NO_2、NO_x、CO、PM_(2.5)、PM_1和PM_(10)以及气象因素的观测数据,采用多元线性回归分析方法,定量评估了气象条件和空气污染控制措施对APEC期间北京空气质量的影响.在假定排放条件不变的情况下,基于气象因素参数建立的预测污染物浓度的多元线性回归模型模拟效果较为理想,决定系数R~2在0. 494～0. 783之间.控制措施使得APEC控制期SO_2、NO、NO_2、NO_x、CO、PM_(2.5)、PM_1和PM_(10)浓度分别降低48. 3%、53. 5%、18. 7%、40. 6%、3. 6%、34. 8%、28. 8%和40. 6%,气象因素使得APEC控制期SO_2、NO、NO_2、NO_x、CO、PM_(2.5)、PM_1和PM_(10)浓度分别降低1. 7%、-2. 8%、18. 7%、4. 5%、18. 6%、27. 5%、30. 6%和35. 6%.气象因素和控制措施共同作用使得APEC控制期北京空气质量得到了明显改善.控制措施对SO_2和氮氧化物浓度的下降起主导作用,气象因素对CO浓度的下降起主导作用,气象因素和控制措施对颗粒物浓度降低的贡献相当.本研究还利用相对权重方法研究了气象因素对污染物浓度影响的贡献,结果表明影响不同污染物浓度的决定性气象因素不同.     

太原市2014年春节期间常规大气污染物浓度变化及聚类分析

为了探寻太原市春节期间不同监测站点各常规大气污染物的质量浓度变化规律及相互之间的关系,记录和收集了太原市上兰、南寨、涧河、尖草坪、桃园、坞城、小店、金胜、晋源9个监测点2014年农历小年至元宵节(2014-01-23—2014-02-14)期间的大气PM2.5、PM10、CO、NO2、O3、SO2小时浓度值以及相应的气温、气压、湿度、风级、能见度等气象数据,采用相关分析、小波分析、单因子污染指数评价和系统聚类等方法进行研究,发现:1该时段内就太原市总体而言,PM2.5超标倍数最大,其次是PM10、SO2、CO、NO2,O3污染最小.2农历小年、除夕、正月初八、元宵节大气PM2.5和PM10的浓度迅速增加,与自然气象因子基本无关,说明烟花爆竹的集中燃放对大气颗粒物尤其是细颗粒物产生较大影响.3SO2、NO2、CO与PM2.5和PM10浓度变化的波动趋势相似、主周期相同,反映了部分PM2.5和PM10与SO2、NO2、CO有共同的来源;O3的波动趋势及主周期与上述污染物完全不同,显示出它来源的特殊性.4按PM2.5聚类,南寨、涧河、尖草坪、桃园4个点聚为一类,小店和坞城2个点聚为一类,金胜和晋源聚为一类,位于太原市最北端作为清洁对照的上兰监测点自成一类,与它们的地理位置有较好的相符性,同时,聚类分析结果与各监测点的单因子污染指数评价结果相一致.本文提示小波分析与聚类分析相结合可以较好地反映城市大气污染物浓度变化的时间与空间分布规律.     

城市道路隔离带绿化模式对人行道空气质量的影响评价

探讨城市道路绿化隔离带对于污染物的阻滞效应,以减少城市道路污染向两侧横向扩散,保护道路行人免受来自机动车道污染物的伤害具有重要的现实意义.因此,本研究在太原市区选择16条主干道(28个监测样点),以4种绿化植物配置模式(乔木+灌木+低绿篱、乔木+低绿篱、乔木、低绿篱)为研究对象,在无风或者微风(风速小于2 m·s-1)条件下对SO2、NOx、TSP和PM10等5种污染物进行现场监测.研究结果表明,城市道路绿化隔离带对于控制机动车道的主要污染物向非机动车道的扩散具有明显作用,绿化隔离带的植物模式差异会影响绿化带吸附和阻隔污染物能力的强弱.在此基础上,通过构建一个新的评价指标来比较各个模式在阻滞污染物方面的能力.结果显示,与其他模式相比,低绿篱模式和乔木+灌木+低绿篱模式分别对NH3和PM10具有更高的降低能力.对于SO2、NH3、NOx等气态污染物,以乔木(T)为配置模式的绿化带效果最佳,而对于TSP、PM10等颗粒污染物,乔木+灌木+低绿篱(TSH)模式的阻滞净效应最高.新评价指标能够准确定量评价绿化带植物对污染物阻滞效应能力的大小,具有较好的应用性.     

2013年成都财富论坛期间空气质量状况分析研究

利用2013年5月20日-6月20日成都市区7个环境质量监测站点可吸入颗粒物(PM₁₀)、细颗粒物(PM_2.5)、SO₂、NO₂、CO和臭氧的实测资料及地面气象观测资料,对成都举办财富全球论坛期间及前后的空气质量变化特征和成因进行分析.结果表明,由于市政府采取交通管制措施,使机动车尾气排放的NO₂浓度与财富论坛前后相比降幅达27.2%;财富论坛期间臭氧前体物质浓度的降低,使地面臭氧日均浓度在相同太阳日辐射值下与财富论坛前后相比较低;对城区扬尘控制和周边重污染企业限产停产,分别对PM₁₀和SO₂的排放起到了明显的削减作用;后向轨迹分析表明市区SO₂浓度累积与来自东南部低空的气团有关.当相对湿度小于60%时颗粒物容易吸湿增长,而当相对湿度大于60%时降雨概率增大,颗粒物容易被清除.综合分析,成都市区财富论坛期间空气质量改善是政府减排举措的有效实施和较好的气象条件共同作用的结果.     

基于快速聚类方法分析常州市区PM2.5的统计特性

运用统计方法研究常州市区2013~2014年6个国控点六项基本污染物(SO_2、NO_2、CO、O_3、PM_(2.5)和PM_(10))月平均浓度变化,结果表明,除O_3外,其它五项污染物月平均浓度夏季较低冬季较高.颗粒物与风速之间的关系为PM_(2.5)浓度随风速的升高一直降低,PM_(10)随风速的升高浓度先降低后升高.采用快速聚类分析(k-means)并运用SWV和DIV指数对六项基本污染物进行分类,得到4个样本分类.与依据颗粒物化学成分或粒径谱对PM进行源解析方法不同,本研究更多是从PM_(2.5)与其它污染物相关关系以及污染程度等角度按照欧式距离进行分类.不同类中PM_(2.5)来源明显不同,类1中PM_(2.5)与化石燃料燃烧排放密切相关,类2与O_3密切相关,类3与城市不完全燃烧排放、区域灰霾污染密切相关,类4可以归类于城市"背景"类.快速聚类分析结果也表明常州市区PM_(2.5)有着复杂的来源.     

重庆市冬季PM_(2.5)及气态污染物的分布特征与来源

利用重庆市大气污染物监测站2013年冬季(2013年11月—2014年1月)的实测数据,分析PM2.5及相关气态污染物(SO2、NO2、O3)的时空特征,并采用轨迹聚类与PSCF(潜在源贡献因子)分析污染物来源.结果表明:除ρ(O3)以外,其他3种污染物质量浓度的月际变化趋势基本一致,均呈12月升高、1月降低的特征;污染物空间分布不均,其中ρ(PM2.5)和ρ(NO2)在工业区和人口密集区较高,ρ(SO2)南高北低,ρ(O3)城区低于郊区.ρ(SO2)、ρ(NO2)与ρ(PM2.5)均呈显著正相关,其中ρ(SO2)与ρ(PM2.5)的R(相关系数)在城、郊区分别为0.71、0.65,ρ(NO2)与ρ(PM2.5)在城、效区的R分别为0.73、0.56;而ρ(O3)与ρ(PM2.5)未表现出显著相关.ρ(SO2)、ρ(NO2)与ρ(PM2.5)的相关性高低可在一定程度上说明二次气溶胶的污染程度,ρ(O3)与ρ(PM2.5)的相关性受到PM2.5来源和污染程度的影响.轨迹分析结果显示,重庆市2013年冬季主要受东北方向气流影响;聚类分析表明,重庆市11月没有表现出明显的PM2.5外来输送特征,但12月和1月的PM2.5外来输送特征明显,并且不同方向的气流污染物浓度差异也较大.PSCF分析发现,重庆市冬季PM2.5、SO2、NO2、O3主要来源于本地和周围城市局地传输,同时还受南宁、贵阳、遵义、达州等地的影响.     

深圳市城区大气颗粒物及主要水溶性无机离子的污染特征

基于2015年深圳市大气颗粒物和主要水溶性无机离子的观测数据,深入分析了大气颗粒物的浓度变化及二次污染特征.结果表明2015年深圳的大气颗粒物（PM₁₀、PM_2.5、PM₁）浓度虽然低,但其中细粒子占比高,PM_2.5/PM₁₀的比值高达0.744,甚至大于广州典型灰霾过程中的粗细粒子比.大气颗粒物浓度季节变化明显,秋冬高,春夏低.其日变化特征明显受到交通高峰的影响,汽车尾气可能是污染来源之一.SO₄^2-、NO₃^-和NH₄⁺（SNA）质量浓度在PM_2.5中的占比超过1/3（37.7%）,且全年硫转化率都大于0.1,这说明深圳市细颗粒物主要来自于二次转化.深圳大气颗粒物浓度受气象要素影响显著,与气压正相关,与气温、相对湿度、降水及风速负相关;若将风速、气温、气压、相对湿度和降水作为一个整体考虑,这些气象要素对深圳大气颗粒物浓度的影响大小是PM₁ > PM₁₀ > PM_2.5.本工作不仅对深圳的大气环境管理和经济可持续发展有着重要参考价值,还对空气相对清洁地区的大气颗粒物和霾治理具有指导意义.     

成都市降水对大气污染物的清除效果分析

成都市受特殊地形和气候条件影响,地面风速小,静风比例高,空气湿度大,大气污染物扩散缓慢,主要靠降水的冲刷和清除作用去除大气污染物.利用2014年5月13日-2017年12月31日成都市逐小时ρ（PM_2.5）、ρ（PM₁₀）、ρ（NO₂）、ρ（O₃）、ρ（CO）、ρ（SO₂）监测数据和同期地面降水量观测数据,分析了降水前污染物质量浓度、小时最大降水量、降水持续时间及累积降水量对大气污染物清除效果的影响.结果表明:①降水对6种大气污染物的清除率随降水前污染物质量浓度的增加而增大,并且汛期降水对大气污染物的清除率大于非汛期降水.②降水对大气污染物起正清除作用,清除率随降水持续时间的增加而增大.③不同降水量对不同污染物的清除效果不同,对PM_2.5、PM₁₀、NO₂、CO和SO₂的清除率随降水量的增加而逐渐增大,对O₃的清除效果相差不大且清除率均较大;小时最大降水量对PM_2.5、PM₁₀、NO₂、O₃、CO、SO₂的清除率平均值分别为29.48%、26.95%、22.02%、26.87%、11.94%、28.75%,累积降水量的清除率平均值分别为31.64%、30.66%、24.38%、26.31%、13.89%、32.91%,其中CO不易溶于水,降水对其清除作用明显小于其他几种污染物.研究显示,降水对大气污染物的清除作用显著,对SO₂、PM_2.5和PM₁₀的清除效果较好,而对CO的清除效果较差.
