Comprehensive characterization of indoor airborne bacterial profile

This is the first detailed characterization of the airborne bacterial profiles in indoor environments. Two restaurants were selected for this study. Fifteen genera of bacteria were isolated from each restaurant and identified by three different bacterial identification systems including MIDI, Biolog and Riboprinter®. The dominant bacteria of both restaurants were Gram-positive bacteria in which Micrococcus and Bacillus species were the most abundant. Most bacteria identified were representative species of skin and respiratory tract of human, and soil. Although the bacterial levels in these two restaurants were below the limit of the Hong Kong Indoor Air Quality Objective (HKIAQO) Level 1 standard (i.e., < 500 cfu/m³), the majority of these bacteria were opportunistic pathogens. These results suggested that the identity of airborne bacteria should also be included in the IAQ to ensure there is a safety guideline for the public.

室内氡浓度与建筑材料表面氡析出率的关系研究

采用RAD7测氡仪对某8层教学楼第5层的房间进行24 h连续测定,测得室内氡浓度范围为5.65~48.7 Bq/m3,不超标。测定结果表明,清晨氡浓度较高,在5:00左右氡浓度达最高值;中午氡浓度较低,11:00左右氡浓度达最低值。经测定房间内墙面抛光瓷砖的表面氡析出率大于地板砖的表面氡析出率。房间室内的氡主要来源于建筑材料表面氡的析出和室外空气,利用氡析出率和室外氡计算的室内氡浓度与测定结果相符。     

深圳市室内空气的健康风险评价

文章利用美国环保局的环境健康风险评价模型,评价了不同人群在满足《室内空气质量标准》(GB/T 18883-2002)的3组室内空气中的暴露风险。结果表明,在这3组室内空气中生活的所有人群都存在非致癌风险和致癌风险,其中儿童(0.5~10岁)的非致癌和致癌风险在所有人群中最小。室内空气质量即使在国家标准范围之内,也可能会对人体产生严重的健康风险。     

固体径迹探测器与RAD-7测氡仪测定民用建筑工程室内氡浓度的比较

民用建筑工程室内氡的监测方法很多,其中固体径迹探测器法属于国标方法,RAD-7测氡仪法为近年来引进的仪器监测方法。本文对两种方法进行了比较,包括监测方法及原理、比对试验,并分析了2种方法的相关性、一致性和精度,以及两者在民用建筑工程室内氡验收监测的实际应用中的优缺点等,结果表明:以上两种方法从技术角度上讲,各有优点,均能满足一般室内空气中氡浓度的监测要求,虽然可利用固体径迹探测器法累积测量的结果来估算居住者受照剂量,进而评价氡的辐射危害,但因检验周期(至少30 d)过长,所以不适宜于工程检测;比较而言,RAD-7测氡仪的配置参数和测量方式更适宜于民用建筑工程的室内氡监测,已成为目前监测的主要方法,但在实际监测中,还需注意合理设置足够长的采样时间、湿度控制在10%以下、气路中残留气体的冲洗净化以及当初测值接近或超过《规范》规定的限量值时,有必要进一步延长监测时间进行跟踪监测等事项,以保证监测结果准确可靠。

安徽省室内降尘中多环芳烃分布及来源解析

采集安徽省内14个采样点的24个室内降尘样品,检测16种多环芳烃(PAHs)含量.结果表明,安徽省不同区域室内降尘中ΣPAHs浓度范围为0.52~89.3 μg/g,平均浓度为20.7 μg/g.降尘中PAHs以5环为主,其次是4环和3环.PAHs组成分析表明,几乎全部样品中PAHs均以高环(4~6环)为主,其高达60.5%~97.0%,仅在4个样品中检出了较高比例的低环PAHs (2~3环).这说明多数室内降尘中PAHs污染由交通运输(汽车和船舶)以及化工厂等高温燃烧排放造成.而安庆、芜湖及六安地区可能存在较严重的石油污染或煤、木材等低温燃烧源污染.公共场所、城市家庭和农村家庭降尘中PAHs的浓度存在明显的差异,总体上呈现:公共场所>城市家庭>农村家庭.异构体分析表明,公共场所和城市家庭内存在混合来源,而农村家庭以燃烧源为主.致癌能力分析表明,城市家庭降尘中的苯并[a]芘当量(BaPE)值略高于农村家庭.公共场所降尘中的BaPE值远大于家庭场所,是农村家庭或城市家庭场所的2倍多.     

Indoor and outdoor air PBDE levels in a Southwestern US city

Levels of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants have been increasing in humans and the environment for the past few decades. Human levels are markedly higher in the US than Europe. Although food appears to be a significant route of intake, food PBDE levels are not substantially higher in the US than Europe. House and office dust appear to be major routes of exposure with air believed to usually provide a lesser route of intake. Because there are very few measurements of airborne PBDE that have been performed in relevant microenvironments in the US, increased efforts to assess airborne PBDE in the US as sources of exposure are needed. This study reports, for the first time from a Southwestern US city in Texas, the results of measurements of airborne PBDE in multiple locations, two outdoor and six indoor (residential and office) from active air sampling with collection of a combination of both vapor- and particulate-phase PBDE. Higher PBDE levels were measured in indoor than outdoor air, which confirms previous findings. Of 11 measured congeners including BDE 209, total PBDE levels in two outdoor air samples were 112 and 125 pg m^?3 and the indoor air levels ranged from 175 to 1232 pg m^?3 with a median of 572 pg m^?3. These findings suggest that sources of air contamination with PBDE may be similar in Texas as elsewhere in North America. However, more sampling is required to (1) better determine if this is the case and (2) attempt to characterize potential sources of PBDE contamination in both indoor and outdoor air by analysis of congener patterns.
