The study comprehensively investigated the distribution of environmental persistent free radicals (EPFRs) in different size particles and evaluated the inhalation exposure risk. The results showed that the concentration of EPFRs was higher during heating season compared to non-heating season. The contribution of EPFRs in PM>10 to the total concentration of EPFRs cannot be neglected, particularly during non-heating season. The study also indicated a higher inhalation exposure risk for 3-4-year-old children.
Environmental persistent free radicals (EPFRs) have attracted more attentions recently due to their potential adverse effects to human. EPFRs in full-size range particles were comprehensively investigated in this study. The average EPFRs concentration during heating season was 3.01 x 1014 spins/m3, which was much higher than that in non-heating season (4.30 x 1013 spins/m3). The highest concentration of EPFRs presented in 0.56-1.0 mu m particles during heating season, while it shifted to 5.6-10 mu m particles during non-heating season. Besides, the contributions of EPFRs on PM>10 to the total concentration of EPFRs cannot be neglected, especially in the non -heating season. The International Commission on Radiological Protection model and the specific factors of the Chinese population were applied to evaluate the inhalation exposure risk of EPFRs. The results indicated that the exposure levels of EPFRs to the upper respiratory tract were much higher. The daily exposure dose of EPFRs suggested the inhalation exposure risk of 3-4 years old was higher than other age groups. In summary, these finding provided new insights for the full range particle size distribution and the inhalation exposure risk of EPFRs, which improved our understanding on the environmental fate and the health risk of EPFRs in atmosphere.
