Elemental Composition of Atmospheric Particulate Matter during 2006 Wet Season at a Rural Background Site in Tanzania
The elemental composition of PM10 was studied during 2006 wet season in a rural background site of Morogoro, Tanzania. A Gent PM10 stacked filter unit sampler with coarse and fine Nuclepore polycarbonate filters, providing fine (0.4 μm) and coarse (8 μm) size fractions, was deployed. A total of 29 collections were analysed for the PM mass by weighing. A further analysis was performed for 25 ele...
متن کاملHealth Outcomes of Exposure to Biological and Chemical Components of Inhalable and Respirable Particulate Matter
Particulate matter (PM) is a key indicator of air pollution and a significant risk factor for adverse health outcomes in humans. PM is not a self-contained pollutant but a mixture of different compounds including chemical and biological fractions. While several reviews have focused on the chemical components of PM and associated health effects, there is a dearth of review studies that holistica...
متن کاملConcentration of nitrite in respirable particulate matter of ambient air in Vadodara, Gujarat, India.
Water extract of respirable particulate matter (RPM) was analyzed by Ion chromatography technique to investigate the presence of nitrite (NO2) as secondary aerosol in ambient environment. The nitrite particulates undergo photo hydroxyl radical reaction in environment produce nitrous acid, which reacts with metal and absorbs on RPM as water-soluble metal salt. The mean concentration of nitrite w...
متن کاملThe Influence of Meteorological Parameters on Respirable and Inhalabe Particle During wet Season
Air Pollution is a problem because human activities threaten to overload the atmosphere with wastes beyond the ability of wind and weather to disperse and dilute these pollutants. An effective air resources management program must take into account, the effects of meteorological parameters on transport and dilution and the natural cleansing processes of the atmosphere. Particulate pollutants te...
متن کاملEffect of Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter in Urban Ambient Air on Health of Traffic Policemen
Vehicular exhaust mainly consisting particulate matter sometimes called black carbon pollution is a mixture of solid and liquid components that form tiny particles that float in the air as a result of combustion of fuel. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM/PM10) on the automated count (WBC, TLC, DLC, ESR) and lipid profile (S. Cholest...
