概括
开放式燃烧/开放式引爆 (OB/OD) 危险废物操作影响空气质量,在路易斯安那州的一个设施附近检测到PM2.5和高重金属的热点. 这项研究揭示了过度负担的社区中的污染物模式和健康风险.
科学领域:
- 环境科学 环境科学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 大气化学 大气化学
背景情况:
- 危险废物开放式燃烧/开放式引爆 (OB/OD) 存在重大环境和公共卫生问题.
- 路易斯安那州的科尔法克斯是美国最后一家商业性OB/OD设施的所在地,影响着一个农村,历史上负担过重的社区.
- 居民对空气质量和与OB/OD运营相关的健康风险的担忧是长期存在的.
研究的目的:
- 在洛杉矶科尔法克斯的OB/OD设施附近进行第一个为期一年的,空间分辨的环境空气污染物组成评估.
- 描述PM2.5的分布,环境持久性自由基 (EPFR) 和重金属.
- 调查不同污染物之间的空间和时间相关性,以及它们与OB/OD操作的距离.
主要方法:
- 在四个季节性季度 (2022年3月至2023年3月) 在十个地点部署被动采样器和低成本PurpleAir传感器.
- 对PM2.5,EPFR和重金属 (包括Cr,Ni,Al,Fe,Ba,Mg,Mn) 的监测.
- 空间分辨率分析以确定污染物热点和时间趋势.
主要成果:
- 在该设施附近观察到明显的PM2.5热点,特别是在3月至6月和12月至3月期间.
- 从6月到9月,EPFR与PM2.5的空间相关性最强.
- 较高的EPFR与高的Cr和Ni水平 (九月至十二月) 相吻合,而Al/Fe是最丰富的金属. 远离该设施的地点显示Al,Ba,Fe,Mg,Mn和EPFR的持续升高.
结论:
- 该研究提供了对OB/OD操作中的空气污染物的空间和时间行为的关键见解.
- 被动采样在复杂,资源有限的现场条件下进行监测是有效的.
- 调查结果强调了附近社区的潜在空气质量和健康风险,特别是在历史上过度负担的地区.

Volatilization
5.0K
Volatilization gravimetry is an analytical technique that measures the mass lost due to the volatilization of the substance. This technique is used to estimate the amount of volatile material in a sample. To perform this method, heat a known amount of the sample to a high temperature in a crucible or other suitable vessel. The volatile substance in the sample evaporates, and the vapor is completely expelled from the crucible either by heating the sample or bubbling a stream of inert gas through...

Deleterious Substances in Aggregate
867
Deleterious substances in aggregates can be detrimental to the quality and durability of concrete. These substances include organic impurities like loam, which interfere with cement hydration and are usually present in the sand. These prevent a good bond between aggregate and cement paste. Organic impurities can be detected using the colorimetric test, where the darkness of a solution after agitation indicates the level of organic content.
Another type of impurity is clay and fine material that...
