Pollution characteristics of environmental persistent free radicals (EPFRs) and their contribution to oxidation potential in road dust in a large city in northwest China

Hao Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the characteristics and potential oxidative toxicity of EPFRs in road dust in a metropolitan city in northwest China. The results showed that EPFRs in road dust are degradable, with Carbon-centered EPFRs more likely to participate in reactive oxygen species generation. The water insoluble components contribute significantly to the oxidative toxicity of road dust.

Characteristics and sources of environmentally persistent free radicals in PM2.5 in Dalian, Northeast China: correlation with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Zhansheng Li et al.

Summary: EPFRs are a class of hazardous pollutants that pose harmful effects on human health and exist in PM2.5 in Dalian, China. Coal combustion and vehicular exhaust are the primary sources of EPFRs, providing important evidence for controlling air pollution.

Internal Exposure and Distribution of Airborne Fine Particles in the Human Body: Methodology, Current Understandings, and ResearchNeeds

Weichao Wang et al.

Summary: Exposure to PM2.5 is a significant threat to human health globally. Understanding the distribution and processes of inhaled PM2.5 in the human body is crucial for establishing the causal links between PM2.5 pollution and diseases. However, research on the occurrence and fate of PM2.5 in humans is still limited. Therefore, further studies are needed to investigate the exposure pathways, distribution, and causal relationships between PM2.5 and diseases in the human body.

Real-World Emission Characteristics of Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals in PM2.5 from Residential Solid Fuel Combustion

Jinfeng Zhao et al.

Summary: Residential biomass and coal burning are important emission sources for environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs). This study conducted a field campaign in rural China to evaluate the presence and characteristics of EPFRs generated from residential biomass and coal burning. The results showed that EPFRs emissions from crop residues burning were significantly higher than those from firewood and coal. Fuel type was found to be the primary factor controlling EPFR discharge. Biomass burning had higher EPFRs per particle compared to coal combustion. EPFRs had stronger relationships with carbonaceous components. EPFRs from biomass burning were mainly generated during the pyrolysis of fuels, while EPFRs from coal combustion were mainly associated with refractory organic compounds.

Approach to Predicting the Size-Dependent Inhalation Intake of Particulate Novel Brominated Flame Retardants

Peng-Tuan Hu et al.

Summary: A new approach has been developed to predict the size-dependent inhalation intake of particulate NBFRs based on their G/P partitioning behavior, and it was found in a simulation case that the intake of particulate NBFRs exceeded that of gaseous NBFRs.

The characteristics of atmospheric particles and metal elements during winter in Beijing: Size distribution, source analysis, and environmental risk assessment

Minkang Zhi et al.

Summary: The pollution characteristics of size-segregated particles and metal elements in the atmosphere in 2016 were investigated following the release of the Chinese Air Pollution Prevention Action Plan in 2013. It was found that the composition of coarse particles is as important as that of fine particles when comparing pollution levels in 2016 to 2013. Additionally, the size distributions of particle mass concentrations were bimodal, with an increase in fine particle proportion as pollution levels elevated.

Investigating the effect of sources and meteorological conditions on wintertime haze formation in Northeast China: A case study in Harbin

Wenguang Li et al.

Summary: This study found significant differences in the major sources of PM2.5 between non-haze and haze periods in Harbin, with contributions from coal combustion and secondary inorganic aerosols increasing during haze episodes. As air quality levels increased, the contribution of secondary inorganic aerosols also increased.

Environmental persistent free radicals in diesel engine exhaust particles at different altitudes and engine speeds

Meixuan Wu et al.

Summary: Research on the emission characteristics of environmental persistent free radicals (EPFRs) from diesel engines at different working conditions is limited. Lower engine speed and higher altitude are generally associated with higher PM10 emissions with more stable and ordered structures. EPFRs intensity in particles showed no significant change in dark, and over 70% of the EPR signals survived under UV light in a one-month aging simulation, suggesting potential long lasting and widespread risks that should be investigated extensively.

Formation of Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals during Thermochemical Processes and their Correlations with Unintentional Persistent Organic Pollutants

Xiaoyun Liu et al.

Summary: EPFRs are organic pollutants with free radical activities and organic pollutant stabilities, formed easily during thermal processes. Research on EPFRs is mainly focused on their toxicities and formation mechanisms, with little information available on their important roles in toxic UPOP formation during thermal processes.

Assessment of personal exposure to environmentally persistent free radicals in airborne particulate matter

Yang Xu et al.

Summary: The study assessed daily exposure levels of EPFRs for urban residents in Beijing, finding that carbon-centered radicals dominated in winter, while oxygen-centered radicals dominated in summer. Coal combustion in winter was identified as a key influencing factor, and an intuitive assessment concluded that one urban resident may inhale the equivalent of 46 cigarettes per day in EPFRs. Further research on the health risks of these free radicals, especially during winter, is recommended.

Dramatic changes in Harbin aerosol during 2018-2020: the roles of open burning policy and secondary aerosol formation

Yuan Cheng et al.

Summary: This study identified significant variations in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the central city of Harbin during two sequential heating seasons, with a decrease in biomass burning organic carbon (OC) contribution driven by policy changes and an increase in secondary OC and secondary inorganic ions (SNA) related to higher relative humidity. The findings suggest the challenge of sustainable use of crop residues in the massive agricultural sector in northeast China.
