防尘口罩

防尘口罩的主要防阻对象是颗粒物。“尘”的概念比较狭窄,尘属于颗粒物这个大的概念,包括粉尘(机械破碎产生)、雾(液态的)、烟(燃烧等产生)和微生物,也称气溶胶。能够进入人体肺脏深部的颗粒非常微小,粒径通常在7μm以下,称作呼吸性粉尘,对健康危害大,是导致各类尘肺病的元凶。所以,防尘口罩通过覆盖人的口、鼻及下巴部分,形成一个和脸密封的空间,靠人吸气迫使污染空气经过过滤。口罩本体通常用防颗粒物的过滤材料制成,靠头带或耳带固定,人脸鼻处的密封通常借助金属鼻夹帮助塑造,但也有依靠其他方法实现的,有些还在口罩内鼻夹部位增加密封垫…     

对大地震前(后)短期低温气候的一种解释

本文对大地震前(数月至一两年前)大范围低温与大震间的关系进行研究。确立了这种关系的普遍性;并对这种寒-震机制做出解释:震前地壳内裂隙增多,使大量(土壤)气溶胶进入大气,从吸收、反射太阳入射辐射及作为水蒸气凝结核造成降水两方面导致低温。据此对汶川大震前的南方雪灾成因进行了探讨。     

河道溢油模型在三峡水质预警系统中的研究与应用

为使三峡水质预警系统有效模拟预测三峡溢油事故,建立了适应该系统的平面二维河道溢油模型。常见溢油模拟的做法是在溢油自身扩展阶段采用Fay模型、在溢油飘移阶段采取油粒子模型,而文章使用根据Fay模型进行扩展之后的油粒子模型,该模型可在溢油的自身扩展和漂移阶段同时使用。该模型结合了油粒子模型和Fay模型的长处,既解决Fay模型只能用于静止海面上的限制,又解决了油粒子模型不能模拟溢油自身扩展阶段的难题,特别适用于水域相对海洋狭小且形状复杂,水流也较复杂的河流溢油模拟。将其运用为三峡水质预警系统的溢油模拟模块,取得了较好的效果。     

Effect of sub-acute exposure to TiO2 nanoparticles on oxidative stress and histopathological changes in Juvenile Carp （Cyprinus carpio）

Increasing application of nanotechnology highlights the need to clarify and understand nanotoxicity. Mammalian and in vitro studies have raised concerns about the toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂-NPs), but there are limited data on ecotoxicity to aquatic organisms. In this work, the sub-acute toxicity of TiO₂-NPs to carp (Cyprinus carpio) was assessed. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels in liver, gill and brain tissues of carps varied with concentration of TiO₂-NPs suspensions and exposure time (up to 8 d). As a result, 100 and 200 mg/L TiO₂-NPs caused statistically significant decrease in SOD, CAT and POD activities and significant increase in LPO levels in tissues (P < 0.05), suggesting that the fish exposed to these two concentrations of TiO₂-NPs suffered from the oxidative stress. The extent of depletion of antioxidant enzymes activities and the elevation of LPO in the liver was the greatest, indicating that the liver might be the most susceptible organ to TiO₂-NPs exposure. In addition, carps had gill pathologies including edema and thickening of gill lamellae as well as gill filaments, and liver pathologies including necrotic and apoptosis hepatocytes after exposed to 100 and 200 mg/L TiO₂-NPs for 20 d. These results indicated a potential risk from TiO₂-NPs released into the aqueous environment.     

沙漠地区沙尘气溶胶含量变化的原因分析

利用中国大陆气溶胶指数(TOMS AI)、太阳辐射、沙尘能见度、降水量等观测资料,对中国西北部沙漠地区沙尘气溶胶含量进行分析.结果表明,沙漠地区AI值不但取决于沙尘暴的发生,而且取决于太阳辐射.这表明沙尘暴起沙模型和尘卷风与干热对流的联合起沙模型互为补充,沙漠地区上空的沙尘气溶胶含量是它们共同作用的结果,而由太阳辐射引发的尘卷风与干热对流较沙尘暴过程更为重要.     

珠海海洋大气中甲磺酸粒子与季节变化的相关性

文章主要利用检测单个粒子的薄膜法,探讨了中国珠海海洋大气中甲磺酸(MSA)粒子的数量浓度、粒子百分数、大小和酸性(pH值)及其一般变化规律。根据在2005年1月至2005年12月间采集的样品的分析结果表明:甲磺酸粒子在大气中的数量浓度在8.6×10-11～26.6×10-11nmol/m3之间变化,粒子百分数在11.4%～34.8%之间变化,当量直径在1.0964～1.5171μm之间变化,酸性(pH值)在1.86～2.71之间变化;甲磺酸粒子的数量浓度、粒子百分数、当量直径和pH值的变化与季节变化具有明显的相关性;甲磺酸粒子的数量浓度、占总粒子的百分数随气温的升高和海洋生物生长的旺盛而增大,在夏季达到最大值,而随着气温的降低和空气湿度的增大,甲磺酸粒子的当量直径增大、酸性增强,在春季和空气湿度较大时,其当量直径具有最大值、pH值则具有最小值;1天当中,MSA粒子的浓度在下午时达到最大,早晨最小。     

Chemical composition and size distribution of secondary organic aerosol formed from the photooxidation of isoprene

Photooxidation of isoprene leads to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). In this study, the chemical composition of SOA formed from OH-initiated photooxidation of isoprene has been investigated with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and a home-made aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Sampling particles generated in a home-made smog chamber. The size distribution of SOA particles was detected by a TSI 3321 aerodynamic particle size spectrometer in real time. Results showed that SOA created by isoprene photooxidation was predominantly in the form of fine particles, which have diameters less than 2.5 m. The obtained mass spectra of individual particles show that products of the OH-initiated oxidation of isoprene contain methyl vinyl ketone, methacrolein, formaldehyde, and some other hydroxycarbonyls. The possible reaction mechanisms leading to these products were also discussed.

沿海城市灰霾天气与海盐氯损耗机制的关系

随着经济规模迅速扩大和城市化进程加快,大气气溶胶污染日趋严重,由细粒子气溶胶造成的能见度恶化事件越来越多,这些人类活动排放的污染物,可形成灰霾天气致使能见度下降。尤其值得注意的是沿海城市灰霾天气增长较快,沿海城市灰霾天气增多与海盐气溶胶粒子的氯损耗机制关系密切。我国30年前在粉尘污染时代建立的空气质量评价体系,已经远远不能描述新型复合空气污染类型,尤其是不能描述细粒子污染的情况,能见度的恶化主要与细粒子的浓度关系比较大,而与气溶胶的质量浓度关系不大。能见度与PM2.5尤其是PM1有非常好的关系,因而目前用能见度来描述灰霾天气是最好的指标。
