The seasonal changes in ambient mass concentrations and chemical composition of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were investigated three locations Poland. analyses included PM2.5-bound hazardous benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), As, Ni, Cd, Pb. samples PM2.5 collected daily Katowice (southern Poland, urban background site), Gdańsk, Diabla Góra (northern regional sites, respectively) during 1-year-long campaign 2010. Based on monthly carbon (organic elemental), water-soluble ions (Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+,...
Abstract Background Air pollution is associated with adverse health effects, especially on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, but according to recent research, even in cognitive health, metabolic, immune systems. The objective was analyse effect of long-term exposure air selected system parameters, 8-isoprostane a parameter oxidative stress, alpha-1-antitrypsin protease inhibitor. Methods number 381 probands aged 35–65 from two differently polluted regions included. Lifetime...
The article assesses differences in lifetime losses caused by premature deaths from cardiopulmonary disease populations living areas with different environmental burdens. results provide perspectives on data total years lost and attributable to air pollution. Such the industrial area related cardiovascular causes of death are 7.6 or 5.1 per male female deceased, representing an average loss 0.01907 (i.e. 7 days) 1 0.01273 4.6 entire population. Losses cerebrovascular respiratory about 5.4...
Abstract Background Lifetime (or long-term) exposure to air pollution has been linked an increased risk of premature death. This association might persist even at low pollutant concentrations level. The objective was describe and compare lifetime exposures PM 10 , 2.5 NO 2 benzene, benzo(a)pyrene in two differently polluted localities quantify years life lost due all-cause mortality attributable . Methods study population selected from the Czech Republic period 2000–2017. For determination...
Abstract. This paper describes an attempt to use data obtained from sodar (sound detection and ranging) for short-term forecasting of PM10 concentration levels in Krakow. Krakow is one the most polluted cities central Europe (CE) terms concentration. due high municipal emissions. Thanks intensive corrective actions taken by city authorities, these are being effectively eliminated, but unfavourable topographic location limits natural ventilation. The article all conditions, focusing on...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect meteorological factors on concentration beryllium 7Be and lead 210Pb in surface layer air background their variability due environmental conditions. Data analysis carried out for 13 Polish stations period 2005-2009. measurement cosmogenic terrestrial radioactivity were collected network station type ASS-500. includes following elements from NWS stations: temperature, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, humidity, solar radiation...
The health impacts of suspended particulate matter (SPM) are significantly associated with size—the smaller the aerosol particles, stronger biological effect. Quantitative evaluation fine and ultrafine particles (FP UFP) is, therefore, an integral part ongoing epidemiological studies. mass concentrations SPM fractions (especially PM2.5, PM1.0, PM0.25) were measured in industrial area using cascade personal samplers a gravimetric method, their ratio was determined. results PM1.0 also compared...
The Mixing Height (MH) is one of the most important parameters that characterise range atmospheric turbulence. This parameter shows characteristic diurnal variation but cannot be measured immediately. Therefore, it evaluated indirectly by measuring other quantities. measurement radon concentration in air methods using natural occurring radioactivity to fulfil this task. However, for various reasons, such measurements can difficult because level rather low. newly developed method described...
The aim of this study was to identify a situation stratospheric tropospheric air mass transport (STT), and then attempt answer the question whether beryllium ( 7 Be) can be good marker ozone (O 3 ) origin in surface boundary layer atmosphere (SL) its role budget.The sets data covering yearly period are examined such as: daily activity concentration Be lead 210 Pb), hourly ground-level O meteorological parameters measured SL station located town Raciborz southern Poland.The obtained had...
Abstract. The article describes an attempt to apply data obtained from SODAR (Sound Detection and Ranging) poms for short-term forecasting of PM10 concentration levels in Krakow. Krakow is one the most polluted cities Central Europe (CE) terms concentration. city authorities, based on access legal measures, have undertaken a number organizational initiatives aimed at significantly improving air quality (e.g. ban burning solid fuels space heating, (AQ) planned implementation free public...
