Background: Epidemiological studies reported independent effects of air pollution and temperature on health, yet these twoexposures are often treated as separate risk factors. Few studies investigated temperature effect modification on the health effects ofair pollution in Africa and none examined the effects of black carbon on respiratory disease (RD) hospitalisations. The aim of this studywas to determine whether the association between RD hospitalisations and air pollution in the Vaal Triangle Air Pollution Priority Areawas modified by apparent temperature (Tapp) during January 2013 to February 2020.Methods: RD admission data (ICD10 J00-J99) were obtained from two hospitals located in Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging. AmbientPM10, PM2.5, BC, NO2, SO2 and O3, temperature and relative humidity data were obtained from six monitoring stations. A case-crossover epidemiological study design was applied. Lag0-1 was investigated, i.e. the average air pollutant level on the day and the day before hospitalisation. Models were adjusted for public holidays and Tapp. Effect modification was investigated by stratifying days into low, moderate and high Tapp days. Susceptibility by age and sex was investigated.Results: Of the 43 386 hospital admissions, 50.9% (n=22 092) were women and 51.4% (n=22 304) were 0-14-year olds. Air pollutantsexceeded the daily WHO air quality guidelines generally on more than 50% of the days. In general, moderate Tapp worsened the effects of PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and BC, whilst the effects of NO2 and O3 were most pronounced on days with high Tapp. The elderly and females were more vulnerable to air pollution, especially on days with moderate Tapp.Conclusions: These results indicate that the risk of RD hospitalisation due to ambient air pollution exposure is different on low,moderate and high Tapp days in Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging.
背景:流行病学研究报告了空气污染和温度对健康的独立影响,但这两种暴露通常被视为单独的风险因素。很少有研究调查温度变化对非洲空气污染健康影响的影响,也没有研究黑碳对呼吸道疾病(RD)住院的影响。本研究的目的是确定2013年1月至2020年2月期间,瓦尔三角空气污染优先区的RD住院与空气污染之间的关系是否受到表观温度(Tapp)的影响。环境PM10、PM2.5、BC、NO2、SO2和O3、温度和相对湿度数据来自六个监测站。采用病例交叉流行病学研究设计。调查了滞后0-1,即住院当天和住院前一天的平均空气污染物水平。模型针对公共假日和Tapp进行了调整。通过将天数分为低、中等和高Tapp天数来研究效果改良。对年龄和性别的易感性进行了调查。结果:在43886名住院患者中,50.9%(n=22092)为女性,51.4%(n=22304)为0-14岁。空气污染者通常在50%以上的日子里遵守世界卫生组织每日空气质量指南。一般来说,中度Tapp会加重PM2.5、PM10、SO2和BC的影响,而NO2和O3的影响在Tapp高的日子最为明显。老年人和女性更容易受到空气污染的影响,尤其是在Tapp中等的日子。结论:这些结果表明,在Vanderbijlpark和Vereeniging,低、中、高Tapp日因暴露于环境空气污染而导致RD住院的风险不同。

The use of fire radiative power observations to determine spontaneous combustion event activities associated with coal mining on the Mpumalanga Highveld 利用火辐射功率观测来确定与普马兰加高原煤矿开采有关的自燃事件活动

Coal mining is a significant activity on the Mpumalanga Highveld. One of the major air pollution issues associated with coal mining, is the spontaneous combustion of coal. There are no abatement technologies in place for such emissions, and typically long- and shortlived greenhouse gases, other gaseous pollutants and particulate matter are emitted by such events. For ambient air quality models to accurately capture the contribution of spontaneously combusted coal, it is necessary to determine the locations and durations of these burning events. Such information will also assist in explaining experimentally determined ambient air quality data. In this article, satellite fire radiative power (FRP) data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MODIS) was used to determine the locations and durations of spontaneously combusted coal within the Mpumalanga Highveld for January 2001 to December 2019. From the results it was concluded that five mining sites were prone to spontaneous combustion. These sites were all opencast mines situated on old bord and pillar mines. Two of these areas were actively burning for most of the 19-year study period. A relatively well-defined seasonal pattern was also observed, with combustion events being more prevalent during the winter months. Considering the active burning periods of the areas where spontaneous combustion were recorded, it is obvious that this is a major source of atmospheric pollutants on the Mpumalanga Highveld.
煤矿开采是普马兰加高地的一项重要活动。与煤矿开采有关的主要空气污染问题之一是煤炭的自燃。目前还没有针对此类排放的减排技术,此类事件通常会排放长期和短期的温室气体、其他气体污染物和颗粒物。为了使环境空气质量模型准确地捕捉自燃煤的贡献,有必要确定这些燃烧事件的位置和持续时间。这样的信息也将有助于解释实验确定的环境空气质量数据。在本文中,来自中分辨率成像光谱仪(MODIS)的卫星火灾辐射功率(FRP)数据用于确定2001年1月至2019年12月普马兰加高地内自燃煤的位置和持续时间。从结果可以得出结论,五个矿区容易发生自燃。这些地点都是位于旧边界和矿柱上的露天矿。在19年研究期间的大部分时间里,其中两个区域都在燃烧。还观察到一个相对明确的季节性模式,燃烧事件在冬季更为普遍。考虑到有自燃记录的地区的活跃燃烧期,很明显,这是普马兰加高地大气污染物的主要来源。

Using student science to identify research priority areas for air pollution in a university environment: an Ethiopian case study 利用学生科学来确定大学环境中空气污染的优先研究领域:埃塞俄比亚案例研究
Q3 Environmental Science Pub Date : 2022-10-14 DOI: 10.17159/caj/2022/32/2.13470

Students in a country like Ethiopia face a double air pollution challenge: they are frequently exposed (both outdoors and indoors) to sources of incomplete combustion and therefore to unhealthy concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon monoxide (CO), while they also face increased carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in crowded dormitories and classrooms. Research on air pollution in the environment of Ethiopian students is scarce. This lack of research can be fixed by involving students in science through a student science project, essentially a subset of citizen science. Students of Arba Minch University, Ethiopia, conducted measurements of PM2.5, CO, and CO2 under self-selected circumstances. Their measurements are compared to guideline values related to health effects to identify priority areas for future research. For PM2.5, students’ measurements show likely exceedances of guideline values for an inside coffee ceremony, close to open waste burning, at a bus station and close to a diesel generator. For CO, exceedances are revealed in kitchens and the visitor’s area of restaurants using biomass fuel, close to outdoor charcoal cooking and close to waste burning. For CO2, exceedances are found within student dormitories. These areas can be considered priority areas for further research. Students can conduct additional measurements to distinguish other relevant scenarios. Insight into exposure can be improved if, besides different concentrations under different circumstances, also time durations of these different circumstances are studied. The findings reveal that students themselves can be a partial solution to research and resource gaps in their context.
埃塞俄比亚这样的国家的学生面临着双重空气污染挑战:他们经常(在室外和室内)暴露在不完全燃烧的源中,因此暴露在不健康浓度的颗粒物(PM2.5)和一氧化碳(CO)中,同时他们在拥挤的宿舍和教室中也面临着二氧化碳(CO2)浓度增加的问题。关于埃塞俄比亚学生环境中的空气污染的研究很少。这种缺乏研究的问题可以通过学生科学项目(本质上是公民科学的一个子集)让学生参与科学来解决。埃塞俄比亚阿尔巴明奇大学的学生在自行选择的情况下对PM2.5、CO和CO2进行了测量。将他们的测量值与健康影响相关的指导值进行比较,以确定未来研究的优先领域。对于PM2.5,学生们的测量结果显示,在室内咖啡仪式、靠近露天垃圾焚烧、公交车站和靠近柴油发电机的地方,PM2.5可能超过了指导值。对于CO,使用生物质燃料、靠近户外木炭烹饪和靠近废物焚烧的餐厅的厨房和游客区都出现了超标现象。对于二氧化碳,在学生宿舍内发现超标现象。这些领域可以被视为进一步研究的优先领域。学生可以进行额外的测量,以区分其他相关场景。如果除了在不同情况下研究不同浓度外,还研究这些不同情况下的持续时间,可以提高对暴露的洞察力。研究结果表明,在他们的背景下,学生自己可以部分解决研究和资源缺口。

South Africa has developed a plethora of air quality management instruments as a means to address and mitigate air quality challenges. However, no holistic conceptualised understanding of these instruments exists to critically inform air quality management and governance. The aim of this paper is to identify existing air quality management instruments and conceptualise them in terms of three broad environmental management approaches, namely Command and Control-based (CaC), Fiscal-based and Civil-based. This allows for a critical understanding of the overall air quality governance framework in South Africa.  A literature review methodology was followed to identify the different instruments. The research results suggest an over reliance on CaC, high levels of hybridisation, high level of complexity and an overall lack of synergy between instruments. The research notes that even amidst the plethora of instruments South Africa continues to face serious air quality challenges. We hope that the conceptualisation provided in this paper provides a basis towards a more detailed analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, and performance of different approaches and instruments to ensure more effective air quality governance and management in South Africa.
南非已经开发了大量的空气质量管理工具,作为解决和减轻空气质量挑战的手段。然而,没有对这些工具的整体概念化理解,以批判性地为空气质量管理和治理提供信息。本文的目的是确定现有的空气质素管理工具,并根据三种广泛的环境管理方法,即以指挥和控制为基础,以财政为基础和以民用为基础,对它们进行概念化。这使得对南非整体空气质量治理框架的批判性理解成为可能。采用文献回顾方法来确定不同的仪器。研究结果表明,过度依赖CaC、高度杂交、高度复杂性以及整体缺乏工具之间的协同作用。该研究指出,即使在大量的仪器中,南非仍然面临着严重的空气质量挑战。我们希望本文提供的概念为更详细地分析不同方法和工具的优点、缺点和性能提供基础,以确保南非更有效的空气质量治理和管理。

The measurement of precipitation chemistry enables the assessment of the temporal and spatial evolution of the chemical composition of the atmosphere associated with atmospheric physical and chemical mechanisms. The aims of this study were to report the chemical composition of rainwater collected at a marine environment, i.e. the Cape Point Global Atmosphere Watch (CPT GAW) station from 2004 to 2012. As expected, the volume weighted mean (VWM) concentrations of Na+ (298.64 μEq.L-1) and Cl- (354.18 μEq.L-1) were significantly higher compared to the VWM concentrations of other ionic species, as well as compared to the VWM concentrations thereof at the sites in the South African interior. The average pH of rainwater was slightly lower than the pH of unpolluted rainwater, mainly due to NO3- associated with the occasional influence of the Cape Town metropole. In contrast to the sites situated in the north-eastern South African interior, where anthropogenic SO42- was the major constituent in rainwater, SO42- at CPT GAW was entirely associated with marine air with no anthropogenic contribution. It was also indicated that 94% of the chemical content at CPT GAW can be attributed to the marine source.
降水化学的测量能够评估与大气物理和化学机制相关的大气化学成分的时间和空间演变。本研究的目的是报告2004年至2012年在海洋环境(即海角全球大气观测站)收集的雨水的化学成分。正如预期的那样,Na+(298.64μEq.L-1)和Cl-(354.18μEq.L-2)的体积加权平均(VWM)浓度显著高于其他离子物种的VWM浓度,也高于南非内陆地区的VWM。雨水的平均pH值略低于未污染雨水的pH值,主要是由于NO3——与开普敦大都市的偶尔影响有关。与位于南非东北部内陆的地点不同,在那里,人为SO42-是雨水的主要成分,CPT GAW的SO42-完全与海洋空气有关,没有人为贡献。研究还表明,CPT GAW中94%的化学成分可归因于海洋来源。

The aims of this study were to report the chemical composition of rainwater collected at a marine environment, i.e. the Cape Point Global Atmosphere Watch (CPT GAW) station from 2004 to 2012. As expected, the volume weighted mean (VWM) concentrations of Na+ (298.64 μEq.L-1) and Cl- (354.18 μEq.L-1) were significantly higher compared to the VWM concentrations of other ionic species, as well as compared to the VWM concentrations thereof at the sites in the South African interior. The average pH of rainwater was slightly lower than the pH of unpolluted rainwater, mainly due to NO3- associated with the occasional influence of the Cape Town metropole. In contrast to the sites situated in the north-eastern South African interior, where anthropogenic SO42- was the major constituent in rainwater, SO42- at CPT GAW was entirely associated with marine air with no anthropogenic contribution. It was also indicated that 94% of the chemical content at CPT GAW can be attributed to the marine source.","PeriodicalId":37511,"journal":{"name":"Clean Air Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41419021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
