Cieto daļiņu atmosfēras piesārņojuma mainība autotransporta ietekmes rezultātā Jēkabpilī
2018
Bakalaura darba ietvaros izvērtēts autotransporta radītais gaisa piesārņojums Jēkabpils pilsētā. Pētījums veikts, galvenokārt, lai novērtētu tranzīta radīto piesārņojumu un tā izplatību apbūvētās teritorijās. Darba mērķis ir izvērtēt gaisa piesārņojuma no autoceļiem galveno vides parametru transporta radīto cieto daļiņu (PM) koncentrāciju. Emisiju apjoma novērtēšanai izmantot manuāli satiksmes intensitātes mērījumi, vizuāli uzskaitot autotransporta līdzekļus. Iegūtie dati statistiski apstrādāti, izveidojot raksturīgos diennakts transporta plūsmu profilus dažādām automašīnu klasēm. Darbā izmantoti Latvijas Republikas Centrālās statistikas pārvaldes dati par transportlīdzekļu skaitu, autotran…
Atmosfēras piesārņojuma dozimetriskais novērtējums
2022
Bakalaura darba “Atmosfēras piesārņojuma dozimetriskais novērtējums” ir apkopota zinātniskā literatūra par atmosfēras piesārņojumu pilsētvidē, tā ietekmi uz cilvēku veselību, meteoroloģisko parametru ietekmi uz gaisa kvalitāti, maršruta izvēles nozīmi, lai mazinātu uzņemto gaisa piesārņojuma daudzumu. Darba praktiskajā daļā veikti mērījumi piesārņotājiem PM2.5, PM10, PM1 un gaistošajiem organiskajiem savienojumiem laika periodā no 03.10.2021. līdz 14.04.2022. dažādās nedēļas dienās un ekspozīcijas laikos. Mērījumi veikti, izmantojot personificētu gaisa piesārņojuma mērītāju dozimetru. Iegūtie piesārņojošo vielu koncentrāciju mērījumi analizēti, izmantojot korelāciju analīzi un dispersijas a…

Air pollution, residential greenness and metabolic dysfunction during early pregnancy in the infancia y medio ambiente (Inma) cohort
2021
Despite extensive study, the role of air pollution in gestational diabetes remains unclear, and there is limited evidence of the beneficial impact of residential greenness on metabolic dysfunction during pregnancy. We used data from mothers in the Spanish INfancia y Medio Ambiente (INMA) Project from 2003–2008. We obtained spatiotemporally resolved estimates of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposures in early pregnancy and estimated residential greenness using satellite-based Normal Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) within 100, 300 and 500 m buffers surrounding the mother’s residence. We applied logistic regression models to evaluate associations between each o…
Cap disease uncapped
2007
With the advent of enzyme histochemistry and electron microscopy, the new nosographic group of congenital myopathies hailed as ‘‘new myopathies’’ [1] was established, largely based on morphological features in biopsied muscle specimens although clinically early (congenital) onset and mild progression were also attributed to these childhood myopathies. When molecular investigations of patients with hereditary neuromuscular diseases began, earlier classifications based on clinical, morphological, and metabolic criteria started to quake, most conspicuously observed in the group of limb girdle muscular dystrophy or limb girdle muscular syndrome, which now comprise seven autosomal dominant (LGMD…
Mortality risk attributable to wildfire-related PM2·5 pollution: a global time series study in 749 locations
2021
Summary Background Many regions of the world are now facing more frequent and unprecedentedly large wildfires. However, the association between wildfire-related PM2·5 and mortality has not been well characterised. We aimed to comprehensively assess the association between short-term exposure to wildfire-related PM2·5 and mortality across various regions of the world. Methods For this time series study, data on daily counts of deaths for all causes, cardiovascular causes, and respiratory causes were collected from 749 cities in 43 countries and regions during 2000–16. Daily concentrations of wildfire-related PM2·5 were estimated using the three-dimensional chemical transport model GEOS-Chem …
Determination of Water-Soluble Trace Elements in the PM10 and PM2.5 of Palermo Town (Italy)
2022
This study contributes to the current knowledge on the solubility of trace elements in the atmospheric particulate matter of the urban area of Palermo. Daily sample filters of PM10 and PM2.5 were collected in monitoring stations within and outside the urban area, characterized by variable traffic density. The bulk of compositions in PM10 and PM2.5 were determined by ICP-MS. The water-soluble trace elements (WSTE) and major ion components of particulate matter were determined by ICP-MS and ion chromatography, respectively. A significant difference in the metals content was observed between the samples taken in urban areas and those from suburban areas. The calculated enrichment factor highli…

Source and Nature of Inhaled Atmospheric Dust from Trace Element Analyses of Human Bronchial Fluids
2011
International audience; Rapid volcanic eruptions quickly ejecting large amounts of dust provoke the accumulation of heavy metals in people living in surrounding areas. Analyses of bronchoalveolar lavage samples (BAL) collected from people exposed to the paroxysmal 2001 Etna eruption revealed a strong enrichment of many toxic heavy metals. Comparing the BAL to the dust composition of southeastern Sicily, we found that only V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and U enrichment could be related to the volcanic event, whereas Ni, Cu, Cd, and Pb contents come from the dissolution of particles of anthropogenic origin. Furthermore, the nature of these inhaled anthropogenic particles was revealed by anomalous La and…
