Distribution profile, health risk and elimination of model atmospheric SVOCs associated with a typical municipal garbage compressing station in Guangzhou, South China

VOCs elimination and health risk reduction in e-waste dismantling workshop using integrated techniques of electrostatic precipitation with advanced oxidation technologies

“…The size of each electrostatic field was 50 mm in diameter and 265 mm in length. The PC unit consisted of three pieces of foam nickel coated with TiO 2 (detailed coating procedure is provided in Supporting information and our previous works [20,21,29]) and eight 30 W low-pressure vacuum ultraviolet lamps (with a maximum at 254 nm and a minimum (<5%) emission at 185 nm, ZY30S19 W, Guangdong Cnlight Co., Ltd., which could produce ozone [30]), fixed on each side of foam nickel in parallel. The distance between the foam nickel and lamp was ca.…”

“…However, a great decrease in TSP concentration is seen after EP treatment; the average RE reaches 47.2% during the 60-day period. Meanwhile, pollutants such as heavy metals [36] and semi-volatile organic compounds [29] adsorbed onto the TSP may also be efficiently and simultaneously removed. In addition, VOC compositions are also compared before and after EP unit treatment (Figs.…”

Distribution, possible sources, and health risk assessment of SVOC pollution in small streams in Pearl River Delta, China

“…Standards solutions for the quantification and quality control experiments were purchased as described in our previous report (Li et al 2013). The 15 PAH standards were acenaphthylene (Ace), acenaphthene (Dih), fluorene (Flu), phenanthrene (Phe), anthracene (Ant), fluoranthene (Flua), pyrene (Pyr), benzo [a] Surrogate standards consist of four deuterated PAHs such as acenaphthylene-d10, phenanthrene-d10, chrysene-d12, and p e r y l e n e -d 1 2 .…”

“…All the samples were analyzed using a 7890A gas chromatograph equipped with a 5975C mass spectrometer detector (Agilent Technologies, USA) and a HP-5MS silica fused capillary column (30 m×250 μm×0.25 μm), as described in our previous report (Li et al 2013). For the PAHs, the column temperature was programmed from 80 to 280°C at a rate of 3°C min −1 and to 300°C at 10°C min −1 and held there for 10 min.…”

The health risk attenuation by simultaneous elimination of atmospheric VOCs and POPs from an e-waste dismantling workshop by an integrated de-dusting with decontamination technique

“…Cancer and non-cancer risks associated with the inhalation of VOCs, PAHs, and PBDEs for the worker were assessed using previously reported methods [9,14,29]. Detailed calculation methods are described in Supporting Information.…”
