Ambient exposure to coarse and fine particle emissions from building demolition
8 Demolition of buildings produce large quantities of particulate matter (PM) that could be inhaled 9 by on-site workers and people living in the neighbourhood, but studies assessing ambient 10 exposure at the real-world demolition sites are limited. We measured concentrations of PM10 11 (≤10 μm), PM2.5 (≤2.5 μm) and PM1 (≤1 μm) along with local meteorology for 54 working hours 12 over the demo...
متن کاملThe exposure to coarse, fine and ultrafine particle emissions from concrete mixing, drilling and cutting activities.
Building activities generate coarse (PM10≤10μm), fine (PM2.5≤2.5μm) and ultrafine particles (<100nm) making it necessary to understand both the exposure levels of operatives on site and the dispersion of ultrafine particles into the surrounding environment. This study investigates the release of particulate matter, including ultrafine particles, during the mixing of fresh concrete (incorporatin...
متن کاملCancer Mortality Risks from Long-term Exposure to Ambient Fine Particle.
BACKGROUND Few studies have assessed long-term effects of particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5) on mortality for causes of cancer other than the lung; we assessed the effects on multiple causes. In Hong Kong, most people live and work in urban or suburban areas with high-rise buildings. This facilitates the estimation of PM2.5 exposure of individuals, taking into ac...
متن کاملEffect of Ambient Humidity on Dichotomous Sampler Coarse/fine Ratios
Abeam-A~osphe~c aerosols were measured in August 1983 on Allegheny Mountain and Laurel Hill in southwestern Pennsyivania. Ambient humidity was observed to influence the coarse to fine particle ratios as determined by dichotomous samplers. This influence is evident in the particle mass and in its component chemical species. The sampling run with the most pronounced mass shift resulted in an appa...
