Ultrafine and respirable particles in an automotive grey iron foundry.
Ultrafine particle number and respirable particle mass concentrations were measured throughout an automotive grey iron foundry during winter, spring and summer using a particle concentration mapping procedure. Substantial temporal and spatial variability was observed in all seasons and attributed, in part, to the batch nature of operations, process emission variability and frequent work interru...
متن کاملAssociations of Mortality with Long-Term Exposures to Fine and Ultrafine Particles, Species and Sources: Results from the California Teachers Study Cohort
BACKGROUND Although several cohort studies report associations between chronic exposure to fine particles (PM2.5) and mortality, few have studied the effects of chronic exposure to ultrafine (UF) particles. In addition, few studies have estimated the effects of the constituents of either PM2.5 or UF particles. METHODS We used a statewide cohort of > 100,000 women from the California Teachers ...
متن کاملNegligible clearance of ultrafine particles retained in healthy and affected human lungs.
Ambient particles are believed to be a specific health hazard, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. There are data in the literature indicating fast and substantial systemic uptake of particles from the lung. The present authors have developed an improved method to produce ultrafine particles with more stable radiolabelling and defined particle size range. Fifteen subjec...
متن کاملMeasurement and capture of fine and ultrafine particles from a pilot-scale pulverized coal combustor with an electrostatic precipitator.
Experiments were carried out in a pilot-scale pulverized coal combustor at the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) burning a Powder River Basin (PRB) subbituminous coal. A scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and an electrical low-pressure impactor (ELPI) were used to measure the particle size distributions (PSDs) in the range of 17 nm to 10 microm at the inlet and outlet of the ...
متن کاملAirborne Fine Particulates in the Environment: A Review of Health Effect Studies, Monitoring Data and Emission Inventories
Airborne fine particles are a mixture of various components and are emitted by different sources. Short-term and long-term epidemiological studies have associated fine particles with adverse health effects, excess mortality, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. There are indications that the health effects are more associated with the fine fraction of PM10 and with ultrafine particles (< 0....
