Abstract:
Both long-term and short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been shown to increase the rate of respiratory and cardiovascular illness, premature death, and hospital admissions from respiratory causes. It is important to understand what contributes to ambient PM2.5 level to establish effective regulation, and air quality model can provide guidance based on the best scientific understanding available. However, PM2.5 simulations in air quality models have often found performance less than desirable, particularly for organic carbon levels. Here, some of major shortcomings of curr

Atmospheric aerosols are the major component in the shorter-term variability governing the radiative balance of the climate system, particularly on regional scales.

Environmental indicators were developed and evaluated to assess the impact of mobile sources on emissions, air quality, exposure and health. Different levels of indicators are discussed, from single species to multipollutant indicators. Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and elemental carbon (EC) were chosen as indicators of mobile sources because emissions of these pollutants are largely attributed to mobile sources and ambient concentrations have a close response to the change in mobile source emissions.

In order to find out the best way, the writer of this paper tries to do two types of experiments. The first one is to add catalytic converter and four different quantities of secondary air into gasoline engine exhaust manifold, and to cover it with thermal insulation material, and the second one is to add four different quantities of secondary air into diesel engine exhaust manifold, and spray it with water.

碩士<br>崑山科技大學<br>機械工程研究所<br>97<br>This paper is mainly to discuss the effect of secondary air in motorcycles to the exhaust pollution and catalytic converter during the engine warm-up period. We measured the exhaust emissions and catalytic converter’s temperature during engine warm-up and the idle/high engine speed. Under the warm-up transient condition, the engine and catalytic converter are both not reach the working temperature. The pollution during this period is heavy. So in this experiment, we controlled different flows of high-pressure’s secondary air into the exhaust pipe to make exhaus

Abstract:
The usefulness of secondary exposure and health data to improve public health in South Africa will be assessed. Given the tremendous health impact of air pollution exposure the focus of this thesis is on primary prevention, that is the identification of outdoor air pollution and the use of dirty fuels (wood, animal dung, crop residues, coal, paraffin) for cooking and heating as risk factors, whilst controlling for confounding. Hourly averaged outdoor PM10 mass, NO2, NO, SO2, O3 data (1 August 1998 - 31 July 2003) from Cape Town were analysed in a nonparametric Spearman’s Rho correlation analys

Abstract:
Until recently, organic particulate material was simply classified as either primary or secondary with the primary component being treated in models as nonvolatile and inert. This framework is used to simulate the organic aerosol formation, growth and composition in the eastern United States during the four seasons of the year. The model predictions are evaluated against daily average PM2.5 (particulate matter smaller than 2.5 μm) measurements taken throughout the eastern United States by the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) and the Speciation Trends Network (S

Abstract:
Η ρύπανση από τα χημικά λιπάσματα είναι έντονη στα ελληνικά εδάφη (ιδιαίτερα από τα νιτρικά άλατα) και επομένως είναι κρίσιμη η μείωση των εισροών αγροχημικών στο περιβάλλον. Η μείωση της λίπανσης αυξάνει την συγκέντρωση αντιοξειδωτικών ουσιών στους φυτικούς ιστούς. Πολλές επιστημονικές μελέτες μέχρι σήμερα συσχετίζουν την διατροφή με φυτικά προϊόντα υψηλής διατροφικής αξίας που περιέχουν φαινολικές-αντιοξειδωτικές ουσίες με την πρόληψη καρδιαγγειακών παθήσεων, πολλών μορφών καρκίνου αλλά και την γήρανση.

Abstract:
The Aerosol Mass Spectroscopy (AMS) is a recently developed method that provides on-line measurements of the chemical composition, mass spectrum and mass distributions of the atmospheric aerosol. Using the AMS with a thermodenuder in smog chamber experiments of ozonolysis of α-pinene, β-pinene and limonene, the mass spectrum of the secondary organic aerosols (SOA) is deconvoluted in low, medium and high volatility mass spectra. The spectrum of the surrogate component with the lower volatility for α-pinene and β-pinene is quite similar to that of ambient oxygenated organic aerosol (OOA). This c
