Validation of modeling approach to evaluate congener-specific concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in air and soil near a solid waste incinerator.

A concise modeling approach using long-term averaged meteorological data was developed to estimate site-specific concentrations of congeners of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) near a solid waste incinerator. This approach consists of calculation of atmospheric dispersion, dry and wet deposition of gaseous and particle-bound congeners, and non-steady-state concentrations in soil. The predictability of this approach was evaluated by comparison of calculated concentrations of congeners in soil with those measured at eight locations near a municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI). The variation of these concentrations due to variability of meteorological parameters is small. A considerable number of mean values show good agreement with measured concentrations within a factor of three. The reasonable agreement between calculated and measured concentrations indicates that algorithms for the calculation of vapor-phase deposition and non-steady-state concentrations in soil must be included in the modeling approach for an accurate estimation of the concentrations of congeners of PCDD/Fs emitted from MSWIs to the atmosphere. For a detailed estimation of site-specific concentrations, it is important to specify the bulk density of soil in the evaluated area, together with meteorological parameters.

道路路障对街道峡谷内污染物扩散的影响

采用数值模拟,研究不同风向角α (α=0°、45°、90°)及道路屏障位置(中间单路障和两侧双路障)对街道峡谷内机动车尾气污染物扩散的影响。数值模拟采用标准 k-ε 湍流模型且Sct选择0.3时,计算结果与风洞实验结果较好吻合。结果表明,2种路障布置方式可有效降低人行道内污染物浓度,特别是,当α=45°时,污染物浓度最多可降低46.23%。同时,风向角α对街道峡谷内污染物扩散影响较大。当 α=90°时,空气流通不良使得污染程度最为严重,且污染集中在背风侧近地面。单路障比双路障布置对污染物扩散影响更大,前者使污染物主要集中在街道中心背风侧,其他位置浓度明显降低;双路障时仅在一定范围内改善人行道内空气品质,但对街道整体污染物分布影响不大。     

Numerical investigation of powder aerosolization in a mining rock dust dispersion chamber

We have conducted numerical simulations of dust dispersion within the NIOSH Rock Dust Dispersion Chamber. The apparatus consists of a low-speed background ventilation flow down a long box in which is placed a tray containing a rock dust powder. A nozzle upstream of the tray introduces a short pulse of a turbulent horizontal jet flow just above the powder surface. We have utilized an incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes k-ω model for the turbulent flow; particles are incorporated within a one-way Euler-Lagrangian formalism. The Rock Dust Dispersion Chamber ventilation flow exhibits a recirculation zone just above the powder-containing tray. Aerosolization proceeds via the interplay of the jet pulse flow with the background recirculation flow. The air flow is not well-mixed. The aerosolized dust is convected as a concentration cloud downstream towards the detection zone. For larger particles, gravitational settling depletes the convected cloud, so the instrument behaves as a horizontal elutriator. The instrument is robust with respect to misalignment of the jet nozzle. However, reduced streamwise drift velocity allows mixing to disperse the optically detected dust cloud concentration pulse. Our large particle simulation results compare favorably with published experimental results for large, polydisperse calcium carbonate rock dust.     

二噁英的污染现状及健康效应

作为持久性有毒污染物的二噁英类物质（PCDD/Fs）,无论是直接暴露还是间接暴露,都会对人类健康产生极大的危害。为了更好地反映PCDD/Fs对人体的暴露状况,总结了目前PCDD/Fs在大气、水体、食物中的污染现状以及职业暴露风险。详细对比了国内外典型工业化城市空气中PCDD/Fs的毒性当量浓度。结果表明：我国广州等市PCDD/Fs的污染水平仍处高位,给居民健康带来了巨大的安全隐患。针对水体中的PCDD/Fs,目前我国缺乏具有代表性的数据,但通过对比洞庭湖淡水样品(0.28 pg-TEQ/L)与日本地下水PCDD/Fs平均毒性当量浓度(0.055 pg-TEQ/L)发现,我国部分水体已经受到污染。饮食为一般人群PCDD/Fs暴露的主要途径,通过对越南Bien Hoa和Da Nang地区食物中PCDD/Fs浓度进行评估,发现放养式鸡的肉蛋类、淡水鱼、蜗牛以及牛肉为PCDD/Fs污染风险高的食物,而圈养式鸡的肉蛋类、海鲜、猪肉、多叶蔬菜、水果、水稻等食物中PCDD/Fs的浓度相对较低。总结了大量针对职业暴露后人群的血液及头发等典型生物标志物中的PCDD/Fs浓度,发现其比一般人群高出数倍,表明相关主要排放行业的管理机制尚不完善。建议从以下方面开展PCDD/Fs的污染防治和长期监管：逐步建立PCDD/Fs不同排放源于不同环境介质的排放限值以及管理政策;重点区域逐步开展PCDD/Fs排放总量控制试点工作;逐步更新完善我国主要行业PCDD/Fs排放清单;开发简易、快速且价格低廉的分析方法和暴露监测技术;民众应该提高自我保护意识,调整饮食结构,并提高知情权意识。

The impact of refugees on the health status and health services of host communities: Compounding bad with worse?

Although there have been a number of recent developments in our understanding of refugee health problems that have influenced policies and action, the effects of refugees on the health status and services of host communities remain relatively neglected. This article sets out to explain why this is an important issue with implications for policy, planning surveillance and evaluation, training and research.
The first sections outline some of the problems facing host governments and communities in Africa and discuss the changing rhetoric between the first and second International Conferences for Assistance to Refugees in Africa. A number of possible ways in which refugees could affect the individual, agent and environmental causes of disease are considered, as are the characteristics of the refugees, the host communities and the response which may all modify this impact.
Policy implications of the impact of the refugees, both negative and positive, are discussed, and detailed consideration is given to the pros and cons of integrated and parallel approaches to health care provision. The need to monitor carefully the health status and services of host communities is emphasized and recommendations are made for this and other essential developments relating to training and research.
