Indoor Airborne Microplastics: Human Health Importance and Effects of Air Filtration and Turbulence

Microplastics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3(4), С. 653 - 670

Microplastics (MPs) are omnipresent particles that receive special attention because of their persistent nature and potential impact on human disease the environment. Most MPs generated by degradation larger plastic items such as clothing, car tires, discarded materials. In indoor environments, where beings spend most time, aerial MP levels higher, majority fibers produced from textiles. Airborne indoors a greater danger to humans than ingested in food drink. Fragments small enough remain substantially suspended air column, airborne microparticles measured PM10 PM2.5, become available for assimilation through respiration, potentially producing various health problems. Larger act ingestion skin contact. can carry microorganisms micropollutants adsorbed surfaces, facilitating uptake survival within body. Indoor thus represent emerging pollutants fast-growing concern especially important invaders respiratory system, reaching alveoli lungs finally entering circulatory system other tissues. Since this direct exposure contamination via is so important, we discuss article ways which concentration dispersal be affected turbulence induced anthropogenic objects conditioners, filters, purifiers. Much evidence equivocal further research necessary.

Multi-Source Data-Based Investigation of Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity and Driving Mechanisms of Coupling and Coordination in Human Settlements in Urban Agglomeration in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(17), С. 7583 - 7583

In the information age, new wave of technology revolution has profoundly changed our mode production and way life. Pseudo human settlements (PHS), consisting digits information, have become increasingly important in (HS) systems, a strong support for high-quality development global HS. Against this background, clarifying spatiotemporal heterogeneity driving mechanisms coupling coordination between PHS real (RHS) is great significance to HS providing reasonable explanation today’s man–land relationship. Therefore, we developed theoretical framework system describing PHS–RHS based on multi-source data such as internet socialization, public utility, remote sensing images, etc. Taking urban agglomeration middle reaches Yangtze River (UAMRYR), which key region consolidating China’s “two horizontal three vertical” urbanization strategy, case study area, comprehensively analyzed RHS its mechanism UAMRYR during period 2011–2021, by applying modified degree (CCD) other models. The results show are follows: (1) Temporal process—The CCD exhibited reverse L-shaped increasing trend. class varied significantly, with extremely uncoordinated severely classes present at beginning disappearing toward end period, while well coordinated highly were absent appeared period. (2) Spatial pattern—The an equilateral triangle-shaped, core–margin spatial pattern characteristic core polarization. Overall, distribution “high central region, low eastern western regions, balanced south–north direction”. (3) Dynamic evolution—The increased more rapidly north-eastern direction than south-western direction; north-eastward migration dispersion, variability decreased. (4) Driving mechanisms—The primary factors affecting significantly over time. living was dominant PHS, whereas RHS. had greater effect CCD. broadens research scope geography, establishes scientific foundation advancing construction UAMRYR, offers cities UAMRYR.
