Annual Mean Levels of Fine PM 2.5 particules in Valladolid city
<p>Road transport and construction operations are identified as major sources of air pollutants in cities. Airborne particulate matter is associated with harmful effects on human cardiovascular and respiratory health. Particles ≤ 10 microns (PM10), and particularly the finer particles ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5) associated with road transport vehicles, are of concern due to their small size; (a micron, or micrometre = one-millionth of a meter: 0.001 millimetre). Green walls (or screens) in urban streets may act as barriers to direct dispersal of pollutants from combustion engine vehicles to pedestrian areas. Particulates may be deposited on the leaf surface of trees or taken up into the leaf surface wax layer, reducing atmospheric particulate concentrations. Monitoring of air quality parameters is complex; involving many potentially interacting variables. Variation in weather conditions; prevailing wind direction and speed; tree species, density, location and structure; and the configuration of built urban infrastructure are among factors which may affect the trajectory and rate of dispersal of particulate pollutants. We aim to compare outdoor air concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 at child and adult head heights at locations with and without street trees or green walls to evaluate whether these NBS are associated with reduced local concentrations of airborne PM10 and PM2.5.</p>
Análisis de la dispersión de contaminantes PM 2.5 y su impacto en la salud: Identificación de puntos críticos y evaluación de la Calidad del Aire en Mochuelo, Bogotá
<p>La contaminación del aire es una amenaza para la salud humana y para el ambiente. Por ello es crucial el monitoreo de PM 2.5. Entidades como la CAR dan seguimiento a la calidad del aire, identificando concentraciones preocupantes de PM 2.5 en el sector de Mochuelo. Por esto se determinó el nivel de riesgo real generado por el PM2.5 en este sector, mediante el análisis de correlación entre datos obtenidos de estaciones de calidad del aire, muestreos puntuales y resultados proporcionados por los modelos de dispersión de contaminantes. Para estudiar la dispersión de contaminantes se empleó el modelo gaussiano AERMOD. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos se efectuaron mediciones puntuales en zonas de riesgo. Para analizar el efecto del contaminante se calculó el valor del ICA. Se obtuvo que las mediciones directas en las zonas de riego a nivel del suelo mostraron discrepancias con las estaciones de calidad del aire, posiblemente debido a diferencias en la altura de las mediciones y la influencia de factores locales. De igual manera, las alertas moderadas a altas, no tienen correlación clara entre los datos, por lo cual se destacó la necesidad de evaluar el efecto de las fuentes fijas no consideradas.</p>
NARSTO Texas Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 Sampling and Analysis Study: 1997-1998 Data
NARSTO_Texas_PM2.5_Sampling_and_Analysis_Study_1997-1998_ is the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO) Texas Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 Sampling and Analysis Study: 1997-1998 Data. The data for this product was collected from March 11, 1997 to March 12, 1998. The City of Houston, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), and the Houston Regional Monitoring Network sponsored sampling and analysis of PM2.5 samples taken over the course of one year, from March 11, 1997 to March 12, 1998. Objectives of the study were to determine the levels and chemical composition of PM2.5 in Houston and other cities in Texas and to determine the background levels and chemical composition of PM2.5 transported into Houston. During the sampling effort, 24-hour PM2.5 mass measurements were acquired from 15 sites throughout the state of Texas, using DRI's MEDVOL particle samples. All of the Teflon filters were analyzed for mass by gravimetry and a selected subset of the Teflon and quartz fiber filters were subjected to full chemical analysis. These measurements were taken in anticipation of the U.S. EPA revising PM2.5 and PM10 NAAQS. These results could be used to establish background PM conditions and determine compliance with new PM standards. Various sampler configurations allow evaluation of data precision, accuracy, and validity. NARSTO, which has since disbanded, was a public/private partnership, whose membership spanned across government, utilities, industry, and academe throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The primary mission was to coordinate and enhance policy-relevant scientific research and assessment of tropospheric pollution behavior; activities provide input for science-based decision-making and determination of workable, efficient, and effective strategies for local and regional air-pollution management. Data products from local, regional, and international monitoring and research programs are still available.
NARSTO EPA Supersite (SS) Fresno, Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 Particulate Nitrate and Sulfate Data
The NARSTO_EPA_SS_FRESNO_PM25_NO3_SO4 is the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Supersite (SS) Fresno, Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 Particulate Nitrate and Sulfate Data. This data set contains measurements taken from two nitrate monitors and one sulfate monitor operated at the Fresno Supersite. The sample collection time for all instruments was 8 minutes. The sample analysis time was 2 minutes. Data were output once every 10 minutes. The Rupprecht and Patashnick (R&P) Ambient Particulate Nitrate Monitor measured the amount of particulate nitrate in an air sample at a nearly continuous rate. The Rupprecht and Patashnick (R&P) Ambient Particulate Sulfate Monitor measured the amount of particulate sulfate in an air sample at a nearly continuous rate. The ambient aerosol was collected by impaction on a small metallic strip. At the end of collection, the strip was heated to vaporize and decompose the particulate matter into oxides which were then measured. The Fresno Supersite is one of several Supersites established in urban areas within the United States by the EPA to better understand the measurement, sources, and health effects of suspended particulate matter (PM). The site is located at 3425 First Street, approximately 1 km north of the downtown commercial district. First Street was a four-lane artery with moderate traffic levels. Commercial establishments, office buildings, churches, and schools were located north and south of the monitor. Medium-density single-family homes and some apartments were located in the blocks to the east and west of First Street. The Fresno Supersite began operation in May of 1999.The EPA PM Supersites Program was an ambient air monitoring research program designed to provide information of value to the atmospheric sciences, and human health and exposure research communities. Eight geographically diverse projects were chosen to specifically address the following EPA research priorities: (1) to characterize PM, its constituents, precursors, co-pollutants, atmospheric transport, and its source categories that affect the PM in any region; (2) to address the research questions and scientific uncertainties about PM source-receptor and exposure-health effects relationships; and (3) to compare and evaluate different methods of characterizing PM including testing new and emerging measurement methods.NARSTO, which has since disbanded, was a public/private partnership, whose membership spanned across government, utilities, industry, and academe throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

NARSTO EPA Supersite (SS) Los Angeles Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5-10 Composition and Mass Data
NARSTO_EPA_SS_LOS_ANGELES_PARTISOL_DATA is the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Supersite (SS) Los Angeles Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5-10 Composition and Mass Data product. Data was collected using Partisol Model 2025-D samplers between late 2000 and late 2003 from sites at Downey, Claremont, Riverside, Rubidoux, and the University of Southern California (USC). Samples were collected episodically, frequently for a 24-hour per period, but in some cases multiple samples were collected over the course of a day. Element/metals, nitrate/sulfate ion, and mass concentration data were obtained. The Partisol is a dichotomous sequential multi-filter air sampler. It uses a virtual impactor to divide the air stream to facilitate the collection of fine (0.0-2.5um) and coarse (2.5-10.0um) particles onto a filter media over a pre-programmed collection period. The coarse fraction was analyzed using X-ray fluorescence and mass concentration analysis. Ion chromatography and mass concentration analyses were performed on the fine fraction. The overall objective of the Southern California Supersite (SCS) was to conduct research and monitoring that contributed to a better understanding of the measurement, sources, size distribution, chemical composition, physical state, spatial and temporal variability, and health effects of suspended PM in the Los Angeles Basin (LAB). Intensive aerosol measurements, well beyond the traditional PM2.5 mass, sulfate and nitrate concentrations, were conducted in several areas of the LAB. These included particle number concentrations, size distributions, and detailed PM chemical composition as a function of particle size. Sampling locations were chosen to provide wide geographical and seasonal coverage, including urban source sites and downwind receptor sites. The primary sampling facility, a mobile Particle Instrumentation Unit (PIU), was deployed to several locations to conduct a wide range of PM measurements. Sampling in each site lasted for 6-12 months. Intensive PM measurements were also conducted up and downwind of several freeways of the LAB, to characterize near-roadway exposure environments and to support several in vivo and in vitro health studies. The monitoring activities of the SCS were linked with toxicology studies in the LAB using a mobile PM Concentrator facility to investigate health effects associated with exposures to ultrafine, fine and coarse particles. Finally, the PIU facility was successfully used as a platform to develop, test, and evaluate numerous PM measurement instruments and sampling technologies, including several monitors for semi-continuous size fractionated mass and chemistry, personal PM exposure monitors, particle concentration technologies, and particle counting devices.NARSTO, which has since disbanded, was a public/private partnership, whose membership spanned across government, utilities, industry, and academe throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
