NIOSH Announces Sampling Strategy to Help Identify Potential Nanomaterial Exposure in an Occupational Setting
On November 1, 2016, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) published a blog item entitled “Never fear! NEAT 2.0 is here! — How to perform nanomaterial exposure assessment in the workplace.” NIOSH notes that in 2009, it developed and was the first to recommend using the nanoparticle emission assessment technique (NEAT). According to NIOSH, NEAT made ...

Thermodynamics by the pool
Summer weather has finally reached Finland, so yesterday I decided to move the office to a near-by outdoor swimming facility. The poolside was quite a good place to think about thermodynamics, as it provides several every-day examples of some of the relevant phenomena: the water evaporating from the skin and creating cold shivers tells us about the latent heat in phase transitions. The kids ...

Critique of “Precipitation in Light Extinction Reconstruction” by P.A. Ryan
Untitled Document The goal of the Regional Haze Rule (RHR) is to return visibility in class I areas (CIAs) to natural levels, excluding weather-related events, by 2064. Whereas visibility, the seeing of scenic vistas, is a near instantaneous and sightpath- dependent phenomenon, reasonable progress toward the RHR goal is assessed by tracking the incremental ...

Seasonal contrast in size distributions and mixing state of black carbon and its association with PM1.0 chemical composition from the eastern coast of India
Abstract Over the Indian region, aerosol absorption is considered to have potential impact on regional climate, monsoon and hydrological cycle. Black carbon (BC) is the dominant absorbing aerosol, whose absorption potential is largely determined by its microphysical properties, including its concentration, size and mixing state with other aerosol components. The Indo5 Gangetic Plains (IGP) is ...

The effect of mineral dust and soot aerosols on ice microphysics near the foothills of the Himalayas: A numerical investigation
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of different ice nuclei (IN) species and their number concentrations on cloud ice production. The numerical simulation with different species of ice nuclei is investigated using an explicit bulk-water microphysical scheme in a Mesoscale Meteorological Model version 5 (MM5). The species dependent ice nucleation parameterization that is based on the ...

Aircraft measurements of the impacts of pollution aerosols on clouds and precipitation over the Sierra Nevada
Recent publications suggest that anthropogenic aerosols suppress orographic precipitation in California and elsewhere. A field campaign (SUPRECIP: Suppression of Precipitation) was conducted to investigate this hypothesized aerosol effect. The campaign consisted of in situ aircraft measurements of the polluting aerosols, the composition of the clouds ingesting them, and the way the ...

Superior Performance of Micro Pulse LiDAR for Aerosol Mapping Applications
Robert Rissland, Director, Int’l Sales for Micro Pulse LiDAR, explains the advantages of the polarized, single-photon detecting Mini Micro Pulse Lidar (MiniMPL) over Doppler Wind Lidar systems. For wide-area aerosol detection, differentiation and concentration mapping, the best tools for the job must offer autonomous continuous operations in varying weather conditions and collect reliable ...

Detection of Airborne Viruses in a Pediatrics Department Measured Using Real-Time qPCR Coupled to an Air-Sampling Filter Method
Children are vulnerable to viral infections. The study discussed in this article investigates the possibility of aerosol transmission of viruses in children under age 18 in the pediatrics department of a medical center in Taipei, Taiwan. After first using the filtration method to collect viral aerosols, the authors combined it with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to detect ...

Advantages of using the Ecotech three wavelength nephelometer for aerosol measurements
The measurement of the scattering properties of aerosols is limited by the errors introduced by typical single wavelength integrating nephelometers. These limitations, however, can be reduced by implementing the features of the Ecotech Three Wavelength Integrating Nephelometer. These limitations are predominantly contributed by particle size, relative humidity, Lambertian distribution of the ...

Evaluation of occupational exposure to aerosol emitted from die sinking electrical discharge machining process
Emission of toxic gases and aerosols is a critical occupational threat in the die sinking Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) process. The present study is focused on the concentration of aerosols in the breathing zone of the EDM operator at various process parameters. Peak current, pulse duration, dielectric level and flushing pressure were the process parameters considered in this study, and ...

Deposition of ionic species and black carbon to the Arctic snow pack: Combining snow pit observations with modeling
Abstract. Although aerosols in the Arctic have multiple and complex impacts on the regional climate, their removal due to deposition is still not well quantified. We combined meteorological, aerosol, precipitation, and snow pack observations with simulations to derive information about the deposition of sea salt components and black carbon (BC) from November 2011 to April 2012 to the Arctic snow ...

On the Application of Open-Path Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy to Measure Aerosols: Observations of Water Droplets
ABSTRACT This paper proposes the application of Open-Path Fourier Transform Infra-Red (OP-FTIR) spectroscopy to measure aerosols. A preliminary experiment conducted in a standard shower chamber generated a condensed water aerosol cloud. The OP-FTIR beam acquired spectra through the cloud of water droplets. We matched calculated extinction spectra to measured extinction in the spectral range ...
