Abstract:

Wake in Guangzhou: The History of the Earth is a site-specific installation exhibited in in the Guangdong Museum of Art in Guangzhou, China, that problematizes issues of migration, trade, and landscape transformation. Wake in Guangzhou investigates the origin of the seeds found on the site of Huagui Lu, in the Liwan district in Guangzhou’s city center, where today a hundred wholesale markets exist. A mound of earth was removed from Huagui lu, a street in the Liwan District, the former merchant quarter’s of Guangdong. The earth sample was put in the courtyard of the Guangzhou Museum so dormant seeds previously buried in deep layers could germinate when exposed. The botanist Heli Jutila writes, “Although seeds seem to be dead, they are in fact alive and can remain vital in soil for decades, and even hundreds of years in a state of dormancy.”

Abstract:

Guangzhou urban ecosystem health evaluation index system was built by the connotation of urban ecosystem health and the actual situation in Guangzhou city. The system concluded five indexes such as vigor, organizational structure, resilience, ecosystem services and health status of populations. Each index weight was calculated with entropy-weight method,and comprehensive evaluation model was established to assess the urban ecosystem health level of Guangzhou city. The results showed that the health status of the ecosystem of Guangzhou city was good in 2010. High energy consumption, the R & D expenditure, environmental protection investment, urban public green space and Engel coefficient had exerted influence on the healthy development of Guangzhou city. Thereby, strategies and measures should be put forward in an attempt to provide some background information an d programming reference for the sustainable development of the city.

Abstract:

Linguistic landscape is a study field covering all linguistic objects in public spaces. It provides an important perspective for investigating the dynamics of social life and language change in given territories. Guangzhou, a significant commercial center in southern China, is renowned for its globalized development. With the growth of globalization, the increasing intrusion of English and the emerging English varieties have occurred in the urban linguistic landscapes of Guangzhou City. Therefore, this descriptive qualitative study collected English usage in the public sphere by taking pictures of private signs in two commercial centers. Monolingual and bilingual public signage displayed in public spaces shows that English has been an important foreign language widely used in Guangzhou's cityscape. Meanwhile, the use of English in Guangzhou is somewhat affected by local languages, a phenomenon called glocalization. The misuse of English, code-mixing between Chinese and English, and emerging English varieties are the product of glocalization. This study can shed light on the present linguistic situation of English in Guangzhou. Additionally, it provides evidence for the development process of glocalized English and translanguaging practice in southern Chinese communities.

Abstract:

Cities defined mainly from the administrative aspect can create impact and problems especially in the case of China. However, only a few researchers from China have attempted to identify urban areas from the morphology dimension. In addition, previous studies have been mostly based on the national and regional scales or a single prefecture city and have completely ignored cross-boundary cities. Defining urban areas on the basis of a single data type also has limitations. To address these problems, this study integrates point of interest and nighttime light data, applies the breaking point analysis method to determine the physical geographic scope of the Guangzhou–Foshan cross-border city, and then compares this city with Beijing and Shanghai. Results show that Guangzhou–Foshan comprises one core urban area and six suburban counties, among which the core urban area extends across the administrative boundaries of Guangzhou and Foshan. The urban area and average urban radius of Guangzhou–Foshan are larger than those of Beijing and Shanghai, and this finding contradicts the city size measurements based on the administrative division system of China and those published on traditional official statistical yearbooks. In terms of urban density value, Shanghai has the steepest profile followed by Guangzhou–Foshan and Beijing, and the profile line of Guangzhou–Foshan has a bimodal shape.

Abstract:

This study investigates the social inclusion perceived by Guangzhou residents and the underlying factors based on the 2019 social survey with nearly 10,000 respondents. Surveys were conducted via quota sampling targeted at government officials and enterprise employers, referring to the Industrial Classification for National Economic Activities and the employment statistics of Guangzhou. In addition, online questionnaires were distributed to the general public. Responses were collected and analyzed through a multiple-regression model. Critical findings are as follows: (1) Residents’ attitude toward foreign immigrants is generally lower than that toward domestic migrants. Migrants who obtained Guangzhou hukou rated a higher social inclusion score than natives. (2) Residents without Guangzhou household registration expected that Guangzhou residents have better social inclusion scores for foreign immigrants. (3) People working in high-tech industries have lower social inclusion toward foreign migrants than those working in low-end industries, as there are no conflicts of interest between low-end workers and foreign migrants. Moreover, these two groups of people have more frequent interactions, given their living proximity. (4) Social inclusion held by residents in the inner-city region of Guangzhou is significantly higher than that of residents in the outer sphere, indicating a positive relationship between living environment and social inclusion perceptions. This paper lays the groundwork for identifying the relationship between social inclusion perceptions and differences in household registration statuses, working industries, and residence locations. It further facilitates the development of a more inclusive city.

Abstract:

In the representation system of city image, food has become a huge influence in the process of city image construction. In the construction of “food as the sky” as the city image of Guangzhou, it includes three forms: prototype image, conceptual image, and symbol image. There are several differences in the three forms, and the myth of “eating in Guangzhou” is constructed in the specific visual practice.

Abstract:

This paper examines an urban renewal project in Xiaobei, a neighborhood that has become a gathering place for African traders in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. Drawing on documentary analysis, interviews and site visits, the paper argues that, while there is a racial element to the project, we should be careful about ascribing it solely to anti-black racism. The project is as much characterized by pejorative discourses about internal migrants as it is about Africans. Moreover, the project is not unique to Xiaobei, and should also be understood in the context of Guangzhou’s efforts to become a competitive “global” city.

Abstract:

Based on the research on regional industrial chain innovation and development in the context of Guangzhou-Foshan City, this paper examines the industrial complementarity between Guangzhou and Foshan and finds that while Guangzhou-Foshan City is developing, there are still some issues, such as the homogenization and competition of industrial development, a lack of profound integration of industrial chain with innovation chain, and the need to optimize the innovative coordination system. Finally, it proposes some countermeasures to promote the innovation and development of Guangzhou-Foshan regional industrial chain from several aspects, including implementing regional advanced industrial base and modern industrial chain, promoting the deep integration of industrial chain with innovation chain, and optimizing the spatial layout of collaborative innovation.

Abstract:

In the past decade, more and more cities in China have adopted policies to ban motorcycles in the name of crime prevention or modernization. This paper examines the differential role of mass media in the construction of motorcycle ban policies in Southern China in general, and in the city of Guangzhou in particular. Although Guangzhou was neither the first city to ban motorcycles nor the city adopting the most radical means of implementing this policy, the media have successfully constructed a social problem of banning motorcycles in Guangzhou. Using content analysis of newspaper articles, I found that from 2000 to 2009 nearly two thirds of newspaper reports on motorcycle ban policy in China were published by newspapers based in Guangzhou. I argue that the relatively liberal media in Guangzhou played a vital role in constructing the ban policy as a social problem. In addition, I examine media discourse in constructing the problem of motorcycle ban policy and argue that although the mass media are still under strict control and serve as mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party-State, their increasing commercialization has made it possible to work as claim-makers for a social problem in China.

Abstract:

Borders and the City: Intra-Urban Boundaries in Guangzhou (China) Borders are fundamental structuring elements of space. This paper uses concepts derived from the study of political boundaries to make sense of urban structures and developments. It does this in the case of Guangzhou, a mega-city in Southern China, but the suggestion is that this approach is significant beyond the Chinese case. The author introduces five different ways to see borders (political, physical, socio-spatial, psychological and functional), and holds that border analysis should combine those five aspects. In the case of Guangzhou, spatially differentiated urban governance is seen as creating strong physical, social and other boundaries. This finding is illustrated by various pieces of evidence from the author's fieldwork, including survey data and qualitative interviews.

Abstract:

Epidemiological features of esophageal cancer (EC), as well as their associations with potential influencing factors in a city, have seldom been seldom explored on a fine scale. The EC death cases in Guangzhou city during 2012−2017 were collected to describe the epidemiological characteristics such as EC mortality rate (ECMR) and health-seeking behaviors of deaths. Potential influencing factors, including socioeconomic conditions (population density, gross domestic product density), medical resources, and ageing degree were also gathered for exploring their relationships with the epidemiological characteristics of EC. A total of 2,409 EC deaths were reported during 2012−2017 in Guangzhou with an age-standardized ECMR of 3.18/105. The prevalence of EC in Guangzhou was spatially featured and was divided into three regions with obvious differentiated ECMR (ECMR of 6.41/105 in region A, ECMR of 5.51/105 in region B, ECMR of 2.56/105 in region C). The street/town-level ECMR was spatially clustered in Guangzhou city, especially two clusters of streets/towns with high ECMR were highlighted in region A and B respectively. Meanwhile, demographic features including gender gap, death age, temporal interval between diagnosis and death, health-seeking behaviors were remarkably different among the three regions. Moreover, health-seeking behaviors (e.g., the proportion of hospital deaths) of the EC deaths were obviously influenced by medical institution occupancy rate and socioeconomic conditions at street/town level. In addition, the street/town-level ECMR was significantly associated with ageing degree across Guangzhou city (r = 0.466, p < 0.01), especially in region A (r = 0.565, p < 0.01). In contrast, the ECMR in region B was closely related to population density (r = −0.524, p < 0.01) and gross domestic product density (r = −0.511, p < 0.01) when the ageing degree was controlled, while these associations were weak in region C. The epidemiological characteristics of EC in Guangzhou city were spatially featured and potentially associated with socioeconomic conditions, medical resources and ageing degree on a fine scale across Guangzhou city. This study could provide scientific basis for local authorities to implement more targeted EC interventions.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Guangzhou Twin Registry, initiated in 2005, is a population-based registry of twins born between 1987 and 2000. To date, over 9700 pairs of twins, regardless of their health and medical history, were enrolled in the database using the Official Household Registry of Guangzhou City. The twins were subsequently verified by door-to-door visits based on the registry address. The primary goal of this registry is to develop a resource for genetic epidemiological studies on common diseases in the southern Chinese population. The initial focus is to distinguish the genetic and environmental determinants of eye diseases, in particular myopia and glaucoma. About 1000 pairs of twins living close to the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center were invited for the first phenotyping examination, questionnaire administration and DNA collection in July and August 2006. An annual eye examination and other phenotype data collection have been scheduled for up to 5 years in order to investigate changes in phenotypes including the myopia progression, physical development and the changes of other eye-related phenotypes. Recruitment of adult twins aged 50 years and over is underway in the same city with the assistance of the government.

Abstract:

With ports having moved downriver, redevelopment of central city areas and waterfronts has transformed the urban centres and created new economic bases for once industrial cities. Water transit systems, such as New York’s East River and City-Wide Ferry services and Gothenburg’s harbor ferries, are being installed by economic development agencies as a device to stimulate further land development, provide tourism opportunities, and promote a new social engagement with the river. Guangzhou’s water transit system is the third largest in Asia by passenger volume, behind only Bangkok and Sydney. This paper describes the Guangzhou system in depth, comparing its operations favourably with the world’s leading water transit systems. Comparisons are made in vessel design, route design, terminals, operations, and fares. The Guangzhou case is distinctive, with a mixture of cross-river and parallel routes, and an especially unique approach to subsidy that may be an option for North American cities considering water transit. Opportunities to further improve the system in line with international trends are identified, as well as a research agenda to further the knowledge of water transit operations and regulation generally.

Abstract:

This examination of minor and serious delinquency among eighth graders in a large southern Chinese city, Guangzhou, also compared groups of these students, observing differences between the delinquency of migrants and that of urban natives. Data used were originally collected for the study “Stuck in the City: Migration and Delinquency Among Migrant Adolescents in Guangzhou.” The present study asked whether and how various sources of strain and social control factors explained students’ delinquency, questioning how meaningfully migration status moderated several of the observed delinquency relationships. Of students in the sample, 741 reported being natives of Guangzhou, and 497 reported migrating to Guangzhou from a rural area. The study conceptualized internal migration as a strain factor leading to delinquency, but the analyses did not suggest direct association between internal migration and delinquency. Results generally supported Agnew’s theory, and, what’s more, they tended to confirm that migration status moderated juvenile delinquency.

Abstract:

The Guangzhou Twin Registry is a population-based registry of twins residing in Guangzhou City. The initial registry database included 9,700 pairs of young twins recruited from the Official Household Registry of Guangzhou City. The registry is designed to provide a resource to identify the genetic and environmental causes of common diseases with an initial focus on eye diseases. From 2006 onward, phenotype and DNA collection have been completed for more than 1,200 twin pairs and their parents or siblings. Most of the young twins have come back for an annual examination of the progressive traits, such as refraction, ocular biometry, weight, and height. Genome-wide association scans have been completed recently. This article gives an update of the study design, cohort profile, previous findings, and future directions. Results from the Guangzhou Twin Project may contribute to the understanding of gene-environmental interplay for complex diseases in both adults and children.

Abstract:

Optimizing the allocation of basic medical services and ensuring their equity are necessary to improve the ability to respond to public health emergencies and promote health equity in the context of COVID-19. This study aims to analyze the equity of Guangzhou’s basic medical service and identify areas where health resources are relatively scarce. The spatial distribution and patterns of basic medical services were analyzed using kernel density analysis and standard deviation ellipse. The equity was analyzed using the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve in terms of population and geographical area, respectively. Considering the medical demand and supply sides, the Gaussian two-step floating catchment area method was used to analyze the accessibility to different levels of medical institutions. The kernel density analysis and standard deviation ellipse showed that the spatial distribution of medical and health resources in Guangzhou is unevenly distributed, and high-level hospitals and medical resources are mainly concentrated in the centrum. From the perspective of population, Guangzhou’s medical equity is generally reasonable. The accessibility of medical institutions differs with different levels, and the tertiary medical institutions have the best accessibility, while the unclassified, primary, and secondary medical institutions generally have lower accessibility. The accessibility of districts in Guangzhou varies greatly. Areas in the center are most accessible to basic medical services, while accessibility in outskirt areas has gradually decreased. Conclusion: The quantity of per capita medical and health resources in Guangzhou, as evidenced by basic medical services, is sufficient, but the spatial distribution is unequal. The developed city center enjoys more adequate healthcare resources than the distant suburbs. Primary healthcare should be built, especially in distant suburbs, to strengthen basic medical service equity in Guangzhou.

Abstract:

The residential location choice of the highly educated population is an important consideration to construct a livable city. While landscape and environment are important factors, few studies have deeply analyzed the spatial heterogeneity effects of landscape and environment on the residential location choices of a highly educated population. Taking Guangzhou as the sample, we built a livability-oriented conceptual framework of landscape and environment, and constructed datasets for highly educated population proportion, landscape, and environment factors, and other influencing factors for Guangzhou’s 1364 communities. Global regression and geographically weighted regression (GWR) models are used for analysis. The GWR model is more effective than the global regression model. We found spatial heterogeneity in the strength and direction of the relationship between the highly educated population proportion and landscape and environment. We find that landscape and environment exert spatial heterogeneity effects on the residential location choice of the highly educated population in Guangzhou. The conclusions will be of reference value to further understand how the spatial limitations of landscape and environment affect residential location choices. This study will help city managers formulate spatially differentiated environment improvement policies, thereby increasing the city’s sustainable development capabilities.

Abstract:

With the development of society and the improvement of urban economic level, people are no longer satisfied with the simple material and functional requirements of the city; thus, the spiritual requirements of city beauty, environmental quality, place atmosphere, and so on need to be improved. Based on the above background, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the landscape planning of Guangzhou’s digital city based on spatial information from the perspective of smart cities. Based on the relevant theoretical research, this paper combs the ideas of intelligent urban road landscape design. This paper analyzes the concept of urban road and smart road and puts forward the definition and characteristics of intelligent urban road landscape; according to the research on the development status of urban road and the connotation of smart city, combined with the concept and principle of urban road landscape design, it summarizes the design method of smart city road landscape. This paper, taking the innovative design of urban landscape as the research object and using the research methods of literature analysis and field investigation, innovatively combines the urban landscape design with digital information technology, changes the traditional landscape design ideas, constructs the urban landscape innovative design model, realizes the personalization of the urban landscape design, as well as the intelligent, digital, diversified, and humanized service and function. The experimental results show that nearly 60% of people are satisfied with the Guangzhou digital urban landscape planning based on spatial information in the smart city perspective.

Abstract:

The city of Guangzhou, in Guangdong Province, China, faces major problems in the development, implementation and application of a comprehensive water pollution control strategy. Since the 1980s, discharges of industrial wastewater and domestic sewage have increased dramatically, resulting in a continuing deterioration in the quality of urban water bodies. The Pearl River, which passes through the city, is now seriously polluted and water quality in many sections fails to attain even the lowest national surface water quality standards. The 19 urban creeks in the city are also badly polluted, and Guangzhou is facing a water shortage due to pollution of its supply sources. This paper overviews the water pollution problem of Guangzhou. Existing approaches to wastewater treatment are evaluated using an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and a form of cost-effectiveness analysis. Problems associated with different approaches are explored. Options to improve the effectiveness of wastewater treatment are proposed. The paper seeks to demonstrate that in Guangzhou, the most effective approach to wastewater treatment involves the use of small and medium-scale treatment facilities. This is in contrast to the situation in many other parts of the world where greater emphasis has been placed on the development of large-scale facilities for wastewater collection, transport and treatment.

Abstract:

AbstractAlong with the establishment of the Department of Public Health in 1912, the implementation of public health policies became an integral part of city management in Republican Guangzhou. Yet the cholera outbreak of 1932 fully exposed the weaknesses of the medical and sanitary infrastructure of the city. Due to the Guangzhou government's inaction, the Fangbian Hospital, a local charitable hall founded in response to the bubonic plague of the 1890s, involuntarily took over the major responsibility for providing medical services for cholera patients in the early stage of the epidemic. Only after the death of hundreds of patients and Guangzhou being described as a ‘world of horror’ in the local press did the government-run hospital start to take a more active role. Epidemics have always served as catalysts for change in public health perceptions and practices. This paper attempts to explain how the cholera epidemic of 1932 changed the role of public health in the urban administration of the city. Emphasis is placed on analysing how the people of Guangzhou began to fight for a supply of clean drinking water once they came to realize the link between water and the spread of the fatal cholera epidemic in 1932. Clean water, which used to be seen as a commodity enjoyed by the privileged few, was now increasingly regarded as a citizen's right.

Abstract:

As a primary sink of pollutants, urban soil heavy metal pollution and its influence on urban residents and ecosystems has been becoming one of the most important environmental problems. In the present study, four indices, the Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), improved Nemerow index (IMN), degree of contamination (mCd), and contamination security index (CSI), as well as potential ecological risk (RI), were used to evaluate individual or integrated heavy metal pollution and its ecological risk for soil samples collected from city parks, the vicinity of a landfill, and an industrial area within the city of Guangzhou. The results indicated that the improved Nemerow index (IMN) calculated from the Geoaccumulation index was suitable for heavy metal pollution assessment of soils within landfills and industrial areas. As for soils collected from city parks, degree of contamination (mCd) was more suitable than IMN. Heavy metals Cd, Hg, Zn, and As were the main pollution elements in urban soils of Guangzhou. Potential ecological risks were mainly caused by Cd and Hg in urban soil of Guangzhou. Soil samples collected from city parks and the vicinity of the industrial area were moderately to highly and even extremely seriously polluted by heavy metals. Differing from the traditional cognition of the public, the ecological impact of heavy metal in soil in the vicinity of the landfill was similar to or even better than that within city parks.

Abstract:

As world seaborne trade continues to grow, especially in view of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), there is a mounting demand for a sustainable balance among the economic, social, and environmental performance of the port cities involved. This study aims to first conduct a review of existing sustainability frameworks; second, conduct a stakeholder analysis for port city sustainable development. The case studies of two major port cities in China—Guangzhou and Shenzhen, are conducted. According to the findings, a structured framework with main categories of economic, social and environmental indicators would be recommended for port cities. Dealing with diversified stakeholders and their interests is a major challenge for policy makers to overcome but opportunities do co-exist. Policy makers of Guangzhou and Shenzhen have made progress in balancing economic, social, and environmental interests in recent years. This study has taken a step forward in the research area, with a view to provide reference to stakeholders and governments in progressing towards sustainable development in port cities.

Abstract:

Lying to the north of the Haixinsha Island, where the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of 2010 Asian Games were hosted, the Flower City Square (the Square) by itself forms an integral part of the new Central Axis of Guangzhou. Thanks to the media publicity of the Asian Games, the Square has now become a household name in Guangzhou and China. Relating major sports events with city squares, as in this case, taking advantage of the Asian Games to foster a festival atmosphere on the Square and present a spectacular metropolitan view, is proven to be a very effective measure to brush up the city image. This paper, based on a two-year survey on the Square, the record of spatial annotation analysis on uses of the Square, and questionnaire surveys involving the randomly selected visitors on the Square, compares the uses of the Square during and 2 years after the 2010 Asian Games through the means of Frequency Analysis, probes into the visitors satisfaction degree on the Square and its evaluation factors with the Factor Analysis Method, and demonstrates the impact of mega-events on the city squares and its implications.

Sister city is a concept which refer to a cooperative initiative set upbetween two cities from two different country of origin. Surabaya is one ofwell-known cities in Indonesia which actively engage in such programs,among them are cooperation with Guangzhou, China; Busan, SouthKorea; and Kitayushu, Japan. However, a focus on sister city initiativesbetween Surabaya and Guangzhou seems to be relatively understudied.This research is aimed to uncover the dynamics of Surabaya-Guangzhousister city initiative and how is it impacting Surabaya specifically. Toexplain this, the author put some emphasis on the concept “sister city”and employing Arild Underdal’s Regime Effectivity Model. a qualitative descriptiveresearch method is undergone with data gatehered throughliterature studies, as well as direct interview. This research found thatthe initiative has resulted in relatively ineffective outvomes under theindicator of level of collaboration, problem malignancy, and problemsolving. Nevertheless, the sister city between the two cities has given anumber of contributions to the growth of Surabaya.

Abstract:

Starting from comments on parks, this article discusses some common problems of city landscape. It argues that strategies and methodology of landscape design should consider four aspects: constantly changing intension of landscape, aesthetic significance beyond function, respect for nature and emotional landscape design. So far I have given an interview to South China Daily on problems in design and management of parks in Guangzhou and how to make them better. On the whole, these parks have much space for improvement. Lack of culture and local characteristics, functionalism and crude design have made parks an unpopular place, especially for young people. Not only parks in Guangzhou but also most parks in Chinese cities share the same problems, and criticism on Chinese parks leads to thoughts beyond park itself. These common difficulties which are easily been classified as substantial issue are in fact reflection of social culture. I'd like to take park issues as a start of the discussion on content and design problems of city landscape.

Abstract:

Abstract As the world economy continues to grow and energy consumption increases, the global climate is gradually warming. Among them, the economic activities in metropolitan areas are more intense compared to other areas, forming an urban heat island effect where the temperature in the urban area is higher than that in the surrounding areas. This article selects Guangzhou, a rapidly developing city in southern China over the past two decades, as a case study. Surface temperature data for five time periods, namely 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020, are collected to analyse how Guangzhou is affected by the urban heat island effect and its relationship with land use status and population density. The results of the article found that the urban heat island effect in Guangzhou is very obvious, mainly in the central and southern parts of the city, where the spatial distribution and evolution of land use type and population density are significantly related to the intensity of the heat island effect. In the future, Guangzhou can alleviate the impact of climate change and urban heat island effect by rationally planning urban layout, optimizing urban ecological environment, improving the material of urban underlying surface and actively developing renewable energy.

Abstract:

Urban disaster risk assessment is the most basic and important part of urban safety development. Conducting disaster prevention and mitigation on the basis of urban disaster risk assessment requires an understanding of the relationship between the city and the natural environment. This enhances the city’s ability to withstand various types of disasters and achieves the development of a safe city. Based on a review of the existing literature, we propose a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method for urban multi-disaster risk assessment. The multi-disaster risk assessment method includes the identification and screening of urban disasters, the assessment of individual disaster risk, and integrated urban disaster risks, the division of urban comprehensive disaster risks into several risk levels, and the determination of coping strategies. Taking Guangzhou (China) as an example, we determined the major disaster risks faced by Guangzhou, assessed the risks of individual disasters, and finally obtained the results of the comprehensive disaster risk of Guangzhou. Second, we analyzed the relationship between the disaster risk assessment and urban safety development, and proposed countermeasures and recommendations for the development of different disaster risk levels.

Abstract:

Atmospheric levels of atomic mercury pollution were measured using spectroscopic techniques in the city of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. Assessments were mainly performed at ground level using a portable (vehicle mounted or hand carried) Zeeman modulation correlation spectrometer (Lumex RA-915M), and the results are given in easily comprehensible diagrams. Measurements were made with continuous recording in car traverses along major roads which cross the city, but also at selected spots, such as at a university campus with laboratory buildings. Further, pollution levels at different locations were recorded when walking through a major and a small hospital. While concentrations in the city in the range 3–10 ng/m3 were typical, and strongly dependent on the traffic situation, very high concentrations (up to 1300 ng/m3) were found at certain indoor hospital locations, again drawing attention to the fact that high mercury levels due to inadequate handling routines can remain undetected but could readily be eliminated by adequate measurements and subsequent sanitation.
