“…Compared with short-term associations between fine particles and mortality reported for individual European cities, our pooled estimates of associations with a 10-μg/m 3 increase in PM 2.5 were weaker than those reported for Barcelona [for all-cause mortality, Perez et al (2008) reported a 3.20% increase, whereas Ostro et al (2011) reported a 1.40% increase] and Madrid [2.80% increase in respiratory mortality for a single-day exposure (Guaita et al 2011) and a similar increase in deaths from circulatory causes (Maté et al 2010)]. However, Atkinson et al (2010) reported no evidence of associations between PM 2.5 and all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in London.…”

Background: Few studies have investigated the independent health effects of different size fractions of particulate matter (PM) in multiple locations, especially in Europe.Objectives: We estimated the short-term effects of PM with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm (PM10), ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), and between 2.5 and 10 μm (PM2.5–10) on all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality in 10 European Mediterranean metropolitan areas within the MED-PARTICLES project.Methods: We analyzed data from each city using Poisson regression models, and combined city-specific estimates to derive overall effect estimates. We evaluated the sensitivity of our estimates to co-pollutant exposures and city-specific model choice, and investigated effect modification by age, sex, and season. We applied distributed lag and threshold models to investigate temporal patterns of associations.Results: A 10-μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was associated with a 0.55% (95% CI: 0.27, 0.84%) increase in all-cause mortality (0–1 day cumulative lag), and a 1.91% increase (95% CI: 0.71, 3.12%) in respiratory mortality (0–5 day lag). In general, associations were stronger for cardiovascular and respiratory mortality than all-cause mortality, during warm versus cold months, and among those ≥ 75 versus < 75 years of age. Associations with PM2.5–10 were positive but not statistically significant in most analyses, whereas associations with PM10 seemed to be driven by PM2.5.Conclusions: We found evidence of adverse effects of PM2.5 on mortality outcomes in the European Mediterranean region. Associations with PM2.5–10 were positive but smaller in magnitude. Associations were stronger for respiratory mortality when cumulative exposures were lagged over 0–5 days, and were modified by season and age.

“…Nevertheless, previous studies have found short-term exposure to ambient pollutants can also lead to respiratory-associated mortality (Garrett and Casimiro, 2011;Guaita et al, 2011). Future work should consider the effect of the short-term exposure, perhaps by using the explicit approach to characterize short-term peak of the pollutants.…”

StreszczenieWstęp: W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań wielopierścieniowych węglowodorów aromatycznych (WWA) zaadsorbowanych na cząstkach drobnych emitowanych podczas pracy urządzeń powielających. Materiał i metody: Do badań wytypowano 3 rodzaje drukarek i 4 rodzaje kserokopiarek. Pomiary prowadzono w zamkniętej komorze pomiarowej, którą dodatkowo umieszczono pod wyciągiem laboratoryjnym. W komorze umieszczano urządzenia drukujące lub kopiujące oraz aspiratory połączone z prób-nikami. Próbki powietrza pobierano na filtry teflonowe, umieszczone w próbnikach do pobierania frakcji pyłu drobnego (particulate matter -PM) PM 10 i PM 2,5 . Analizę WWA osadzonych na cząstkach stałych, emitowanych z urządzeń powielających, prowadzono metodą wysokosprawnej chromatografii cieczowej z detekcją fluorescencyjną (high pressure liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection -HPLC/FL). Wyniki: Wyniki analizy jakościowej wykazały obecność większości 10-14 wielopierścieniowych wę-glowodorów aromatycznych. Największe stężenie sumy WWA (36,52 µg×g -1 ) oznaczono we frakcji PM 10 w powietrzu podczas pracy kserokopiarki. Sumaryczną zawartość WWA oznaczona we frakcji cząstek drobnych < 2,5 µm stanowią 48-84% zawartości WWA we frakcji < 10 µm w przypadku drukarek i 63-89% w przypadku kserokopiarek. Zarówno podczas pracy urządzeń drukujących, jak i powielających w obydwu frakcjach PM 2,5 oraz PM 10 zidentyfikowano benzo(a)piren (BaP). Maksymalne stężenie BaP we frakcji cząstek < 10 µm emitowanych z drukarki wynosiło 3,29±0,2 µg×g -1. Wnioski: Badania wykazały, że stężenie emitowanych substancji zaadsorbowanych na PM 10 i PM 2,5 oraz stężenie tych cząstek w powietrzu nie jest stałe i zależy od rodzaju stosowanego urządzenia, rodzaju tonera i szybkości powielania. Emitowane do środowiska pracy cząstki drobne oraz osadzone na nich WWA mogą stanowić zagrożenie dla osób pracujących w ich otoczeniu. Med.

Material and Methods: In the study three types of printers, and four types of office copiers were used. Measurements were carried out in a closed measuring chamber. Air samples (fractions of particulate matter, PM 10 and PM 2.5 ) were collected on Teflon filters. The analysis of PAHs was carried out according HPLC/FL. Results: The results of qualitative analysis of filters from PM 2.5 and PM 10 type samplers indicated the presence of the majority (10-14) of PAH congeners. The highest concentration of total PAHs was determined in the PM 10 fraction in the air during the operation of a copier, and amounted to 36.52 µg×g
