Sulfur dioxide,hydrogen sulfide,total reduced sulfur,chlorinated hydrocarbons and photochemical oxidants in southern California museums

Indoor and outdoor concentrations of the air pollutants ozone, NO₂, SO₂, H₂S, total reduced sulfur (TRS), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), methyl chloroform and tetrachloroethylene, have been measured at three southern California museums. Indoor maxima were 175 ppb for NO₂, 77 ppb for O₃, 0.7 ppb for PAN, 1.2 ppb for C₂Cl₄, >6.3 ppb for CH₃CCl₃, 2.5 ppb for SO₂, 1.4 ppb for TRS, and 46 ppt for H₂S. Indoor levels and indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratios for the chlorinated hydrocarbons pointed out to indoor sources. Outdoor and indoor levels of SO₂ and TRS were low at all three museums, but I/O ratios for SO₂ were high and averaged 0.89. H₂S concentrations were low, 16–46 ppt at one museum and less than 6 ppt at the other two museums. I/O ratios for the air pollutants with outdoor sources (ozone, PAN and NO₂) showed substantial variations, from low values of 0.02–0.33 at locations without influx of outdoor air to high values of 0.85–0.88 at locations experiencing high influx of outdoor air. Of the 10 institutions we have surveyed in southern California to date, eight exhibit high I/O ratios, e.g. 0.60–1.00 for PAN. Of the four museums surveyed that were equipped with HVAC and chemical filtration, only two yielded the expected low I/O ratios.     

夏季北京市大气中PAN与PPN的监测分析

采用在线监测仪器,在2005-08对北京市中关村地区大气中的PAN和PPN浓度进行了监测.结果表明,大气中存在着高浓度的PAN和PPN,其最高体积分数分别为2 493.2×10^-12和509.2×10^-12;PPN与PAN的浓度相关性很强,相关系数R²=0.949 5;［PPN］/［PAN］为20.2%. PAN和PPN的浓度在夜间有1个峰值出现,白天高浓度的PAN和PPN出现在NO₂浓度较高而NO浓度较低的时段,PAN与O₃的浓度变化趋势基本一致并显示出一定的相关性.     

京津廊城市气团光化学污染潜势分析

选取京津廊三市交界处,于2019年和2021年的7月开展PAN (过氧乙酰硝酸酯)在线监测、空间来源解析与反应产率研究,以评估北京、天津、廊坊不同城市气团的光化学污染潜势及近年变化趋势.观测结果表明,三市交界处2021年夏季PAN浓度均值(0.89±0.21)×10^-9,较2019年同期(2.45±0.71)×10^-9下降63.8%.PAN在夏季大气寿命很短,其在该观测点浓度主要受周边城市气团光化学反应控制,其产率呈现明显双峰特征,峰值水平在2019年和2021年的7月分别为3.08×10^-9/h、1.75×10^-9/h,2021年较2019年下降43.18%,与PAN的年际变化趋势吻合.该观测点PAN的潜在源贡献函数(PSCF)高值区在2个观测月均出现在东南方向50km范围内,显示了天津市气团输送对该观测点PAN浓度的显著贡献.当该观测点受天津城市气团绝对影响时,PAN生成潜势和前体物NO₂均呈最高水平,约为受北京城市气团影响时的2.03倍和2.01倍,为受廊坊城市气团影响时的1.53和1.21倍.可见,天津城市气团具有最高的光化学污染潜势,其与北京气团的差异主要源自NO_x,而与廊坊气团的差异则来自NO_x和VOCs两类前体物.     

环境污染对室外运动推广的影响研究

大气环境污染加剧使得室外运动不能有效进行,为此,以健美操有氧运动为例,研究大气环境污染对室外运动推广的影响.依据大气污染指数,分析室外健美操有氧运动心肺生理指标参数变化情况.以氧通气当量、氧脉搏、激活剂浓度及最大摄氧量为参数指标,定量分析大气污染与室外运动推广危害程度和消极影响,测试不同污染程度对健美操有氧运动产生影响的量化指标.测试结果得知,大气污染对室外运动具有消极影响,在空气质量指数(AQI)为151~200的中度污染条件下应该减少室外运动.     

Peroxyacetyl nitrate observed in Beijing in August from 2005 to 2009

Measurements of peroxyacetyl nitrate（PAN） were made at a Beijing urban site each August from2005 to 2009. Over this 5-year period, the average PAN concentration for August in each year increased from 3（2005） to 11.7 μg/m3（2007）; however, it decreased rapidly in 2008（4.1 μg/m3）.Generally, the variation over the 5 years showed a rise in the first part of the study period,followed by a decline. We considered two categories of local and regional air masses in this study, which revealed that the PAN concentration in Beijing was affected mainly by southeastern air masses. The August PAN variation was influenced predominantly by local air masses in 2005,but by 2009 regional air masses had become more important. This study showed the level and variation of PAN in the month of August in 5 consecutive years for the first time, and proved that control measures are useful in decreasing photochemical pollution; hence, these measures are probably feasible for other megacities too. Furthermore, this method of analyzing regional and local impacts might be useful for other studies as well.     

Wintertime peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) in the megacity Beijing: Role of photochemical and meteorological processes

Previous measurements of peroxyacetyl nitrate(PAN) in Asian megacities were scarce and mainly conducted for relative short periods in summer. Here, we present and analyze the measurements of PAN, O3, NOx, etc., made at an urban site(CMA) in Beijing from 25 January to 22 March 2010. The hourly concentration of PAN averaged 0.70 × 10 9mol/mol(0.23 × 10 9–3.51 × 10 9mol/mol) and was well correlated with that of NO2but not O3, indicating that the variations of the winter concentrations of PAN and O3in urban Beijing are decoupled with each other. Wind conditions and transport of air masses exert very significant impacts on O3, PAN, and other species. Air masses arriving at the site originated either from the boundary layer over the highly polluted N-S-W sector or from the free troposphere over the W-N sector. The descending free-tropospheric air was rich in O3, with an average PAN/O3ratio smaller than 0.031, while the boundary layer air over the polluted sector contained higher levels of PAN and primary pollutants, with an average PAN/O3ratio of 0.11. These facts related with transport conditions can well explain the observed PAN-O3decoupling. Photochemical production is important to PAN in the winter over Beijing. The concentration of the peroxyacetyl(PA) radical was estimated to be in the range of 0.0014 × 10 12–0.0042 × 10 12 mol/mol. The contributions of the formation reaction and thermal decomposition to PAN's variation were calculated and found to be significant even in the colder period in air over Beijing, with the production exceeding the decomposition.     

田湾核电站室内氯离子来源解析

根据2005~2006年江苏田湾核电站大气吸收液(AAS)和总悬浮颗粒物(TSP)中氯离子的一年数据,分析了室内外大气各种形态氯离子的分布特点及变化规律,并对过滤器性能进行了初步评价.结果表明:该站大气氯离子浓度大小依次为:室外吸收液>室内吸收液>室外TSP>室内TSP,年均值分别为28.12,19.20,4.22,0.11μg/m3.现有过滤器可以有效过滤室外总悬浮颗粒物,但对室外气体中氯离子的过滤效率仅为32%.相关性分析表明,室内外吸收液中氯离子浓度显著相关,相关性系数为0.859.因此,室内大气氯离子主要来源室外气态或微小气溶胶.     

公路收费亭内外空气污染特征及其影响因素

2003-06～2003-07对重庆市辖4个收费站中的收费亭内外一氧化碳(CO)、二氧化氮(NO₂)、总烃(THC)和可吸入颗粒物(PM₁₀)进行了采样监测,同时还观测了气温、大气压、风速和车流量等影响因素,通过二元相关和偏相关分析方法探讨了收费亭内外各空气污染指标与影响因素之间的关系.结果表明,收费亭外CO和PM₁₀小时平均浓度值比亭内高,亭内NO₂和THC的小时平均浓度值比亭外高.重庆站亭内外NO₂和茶园站亭内外CO的小时平均浓度值超过环境空气二级标准,其它各收费亭内外NO₂和CO的小时平均浓度均值未超过相关标准限值,其最高值均超过相关标准;各收费亭内外THC小时平均浓度均值分别达7.728 mg/m³和7.216　mg/m³,均超过标准限值10倍以上;收费亭内外PM₁₀变化幅度较大,亭外均值0.217　mg/m³,高于环境空气质量二级标准,亭内最高值达0.631　mg/m³,是室内空气标准日均值标准限值的4.2倍.在4个收费站的收费亭内外空气污染程度比较分析中,以重庆收费站为最严重,有3个指标的均值比其他收费站高.在污染指标与影响因素相关分析中,收费亭内外污染物之间的存在着一定的相关关系,CO、PM₁₀和NO₂呈极显著相关,亭内外THC呈显著性相关,车流量与NO₂、THC、PM₁₀均呈极显著（p<0.01）或显著相关(0.01<p<0.05),而与CO的污染程度相关性不显著;天气条件不同程度地影响各污染指标的浓度,分别以大气压和气温影响为主,风速影响不大.     

Relationships between indoor and outdoor air quality in four naturally ventilated offices in the United Kingdom

Three offices in central London and one at a rural location were characterized with respect to air quality. All four offices were naturally ventilated. The characterization was supplemented by using a mobile laboratory to monitor the outdoor air quality. Results indicate that indoor pollutant concentrations may be up to 80% of the concentration outdoors but can greatly exceed outdoor concentrations. Additionally, it has been shown that indoor pollutants usually follow outdoor pollutant trends at lower levels, with only a small time delay due to mixing and dilution factors. The interaction between indoor and outdoor air is discussed with respect to ventilation characteristics and pollutant sources. A comparison between actual and modelled carbon dioxide levels may provide a useful indicator of ventilation.     

Laboratory tests of KI and alkaline annular denuders

Annular denuders coated with KI and with alkaline solutions have been tested for their ability to remove atmospheric pollutants including ozone, NO₂, SO₂, formaldehyde, methyl nitrate and peroxyacetyl nitrate. Tests were carried out at flow rates of 0.4–2.0 ℓ min⁻¹, using particle-free ambient air as well as purified air to study the effect of atmospheric CO₂ on alkaline denuder performance. Denuders coated with KI were efficient in removing O₃, NO₂, SO₂ (> 95%) and PAN (84±3%) but not methyl nitrate (44%) and formaldehyde (<5%). Selective removal of PAN from NO₂, and vice versa, could be obtained with annular denuders coated with NaOH, which removed 100% PAN and ⩽15% NO₂, and with alkaline guaiacol, which removed ⩾99% NO₂ and ⩽6% PAN.

HEPA空气净化器对学校室内颗粒物的净化效果研究

为了解HEPA（high efficiency particle air filter,高效空气过滤器）空气净化器在小学教室和寝室的净化效果,于2019年3—4月在北京市一所全寄宿小学开展了一项HEPA空气净化器的交叉干预研究.记录干预组、非干预组室内和室外PM_2.5、PM₁₀、PM₁的浓度,计算空气净化器的净化率;采用多元线性回归模型探索净化效果的影响因素.结果表明:①空气净化器对PM_2.5、PM₁₀、PM₁的净化率分别为41.3%〔Q_l~Q_u（下四分位数~上四分位数,下同）:0~53.1%〕、40.7%（10.5%~46.2%）和34.9%（9.6%~40.3%）,其中对PM_2.5的净化率最高;寝室的净化率高于教室的净化率.②当室外PM_2.5浓度为[115,150）μg/m3时对PM_2.5的净化率最高,为52.83%（50.26%~56.13%）,PM₁₀和PM₁亦有类似结果.③多元线性回归分析表明,室外PM_2.5浓度 < 35 μg/m3时,开门通风和室内人员活动分别使室内PM_2.5浓度下降3.73 μg/m3〔95%置信区间（95% CI）:（0.60 μg/m3,6.86 μg/m3）〕和升高3.4 μg/m3（0.22 μg/m3,6.58 μg/m3）;室外PM_2.5浓度为[35,150）μg/m3时,空气净化器使室内PM_2.5浓度下降33.36 μg/m3（16.47 μg/m3,50.25 μg/m3）;室外PM_2.5浓度≥150 μg/m3时,空气净化器和开门通风分别使室内PM_2.5浓度下降48.87 μg/m3（25.62 μg/m3,72.12 μg/m3）和升高37.65 μg/m3（5.60 μg/m3,69.69 μg/m3）.研究显示:空气净化器可同时降低室内PM_2.5、PM₁₀、PM₁的浓度;当室外PM_2.5浓度 < 35 μg/m3时,不需开启空气净化器;当室外PM_2.5浓度为[35,150）μg/m3时,空气净化器有较好的净化效果,偶尔开窗通风不影响空气净化器的净化效果;当室外PM_2.5浓度≥150 μg/m3时,开启空气净化器时应关闭门窗,以免影响其净化效果.      

A comparison of calibration and measurement techniques for gas chromatographic determination of atmospheric peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN)

A 24 day intercomparison study of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) measurement was conducted in Egbert, Ontario, in February–March 1989. Two GC/ECD systems and one GC using a luminolchemiluminescence based detection device were involved. To separate the influence of calibration errors vs possible chromatographic interferences, a series of laboratory standards (gaseous PAN concentrations determined by either i.r. or by chemiluminescence) were exchanged. For all three GCs the results of analysis of standard samples were within ±25% of the standard concentration. For ambient air PAN measurements (concentrations ranging from 0.15 to 2 ppb), plots of each set of measurement data regressed against those of the other two techniques were obtained. Linear regression of the data from ambient air analysis for the two GC/ECD systems yielded a slope and intercept of 1.14±0.01 and −0.03±0.05, respectively (r = 0.995). The plot of the Luminol-based GC against the AES GC/ECD yielded a slope of 1.08±0.03 and an intercept of 0.08±0.24 (r = 0.864). The results demonstrated the reliability of the chemiluminescence calibration technique, and indicated that the luminol-based PAN measurement device can yield accurate and sensitive measurements of ambient PAN concentrations.

Measurement and modeling of airbone concentrations and indoor surface accumulation rates of ionic substances at Neenah,Wisconsin

The objective of this continuing investigation of indoor/outdoor/surface relationships has been to develop an accurate method for predicting and subsequently managing the accumulation rates and ultimately the effects of corrosive substance on electronic equipment surface in field and manufacturing environments. We previously reported indoor/outdoor ratios and deposition velocities for Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, Na⁺, NH₄⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ associated with fine and coarse particles at telephone company switching equipment locations in Wichita (Kansas), Lubbock (Texas) and Newark (New Jersey). Using the results from these studies, a methodology was developed for predicting the average indoor surface accumulation rates of ionic substances from their outdoor concentrations.In this paper we report new results for a site at Neenah, Wisconsin. At this site detailed data on the operational status of the air handling euipment were also obtained through a permanent monitoring system. These data and the data on ionic species have been used in mass balance model that calculates indoor concentrations from outdoor concentrations. Coupling this mass balance model with the measured deposition velocities substantially improves the earlier methodology for predicting surface accumulation rates from outdoor concentrations and enables decision makers to evaluate the effects of various manipulations in critical air handling system operating variables. Informed decisions can now be made when striking a balance between energy and indoor use and indoor air quality or equipment reliability.     

北京某小学室内外VOC浓度及有毒害物种识别

采用美国EPA推荐的TO14/15方法定量分析了北京市某小学室内外夏季观测的空气样品,得到82种挥发性有机物（VOCs）的浓度水平及组成特征,对其中可能危害儿童健康的有毒有害物质进行了识别.结果表明,室内总VOCs浓度高于室外,烷烃是含量最丰富物种,平均占室内外空气中定量VOCs总浓度的32.8%.室内外VOCs组成相似,异戊烷、苯、甲苯、丙醛、丙烯和二氯甲烷为浓度优势物种,受到室外源的影响较大,室内的对二氯苯、环己烷及间二氯苯较为特征,前2种物质室内/室外浓度比例平均值分别为65.8和10.5,间二氯苯室内平均浓度为2.02×10^-9（体积分数）,而室外浓度低于检测限,这3种物质可能来自室内源. 1, 3-丁二烯、氯乙烯、苯和氯甲烷4种物质在学校室内、室外及儿童家中都超过1×10^-6的癌症风险值,平均风险值分别为1.3×10^-5、 6.4×10^-6、 5.1×10^-6和3.3×10^-6,小学室外、室内及儿童家中的累积癌症风险超过1×10^-6的癌症风险值24～39倍.丙烯醛未确认具有致癌性,但具有毒有害性,在室内外及儿童家中超过基准浓度13～72倍.

Heterogeneous transformation of peroxyacetylnitrate

The heterogeneous decomposition of peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN) has been investigated using a flow reactor and infrared spectroscopic analysis. The decomposition rate in air due to glass surfaces follows the relation d[PAN]/dt = −S/V([PAN] × 7 × 10⁷ + [CH₃C(O)OO] × 5 × 90¹²)exp(−9382/T) molecules cm⁻³ s⁻¹ (S/V=surface to volume ratio). The rate observed for NH₄HSO₄-covered surfaces is lower than in the glass case. The rate is high enough to affect many laboratory experiments but too slow to have any influence on PAN decomposition under ambient conditions.
