Abstract:
The Río de la Plata is a large, shallow estuary located at approximately 35°S and flowing into the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. It carries a high amount of nutrients and suspended particulate matter, both organic and inorganic, to the adjacent shelf waters and is considered among the most turbid estuarine systems in the world. Knowledge of the concentration and spatial and temporal variability of these materials is critical for any biological study in the Río de la Plata. In this work, the relationship between suspended particulate matter and turbidity is empirically established in order to derive suspended particulate matter maps from satellite data (MODIS-Aqua) for the Río de la Plata region. A strong correlation between suspended particulate matter and turbidity was found (Pearson correlation coefficient =0.91) and the linear regression (slope =0.76 and intercepts =12.78, R2=0.83) explained 83% of the variance. The validation of the empirical algorithm, using co-located and coincident satellite and in situ measurements, showed good results with a low mean absolute error (14.60%) and a small and positive bias (3.04%), indicating that the estimated suspended particulate matter values tend to slightly overestimate the field values.

Abstract:
The research work presents the findings of testing air purified using two commercial air purifiers available on the local market. Tests were carried out in the office and bedroom of a residential building. The results obtained show a high (75–93%) yield of air purification from particulate matter. Particulate matters fractions such as: PM1, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10 and total suspended particulates (TSP) were analysed by means professional dust meter. A very strong correlation of particulate matter (PM) contents were found in individual particle classes during equipment operation. Obtained results approve high efficiency of equipment operation in the total range of measured values. This study is one of the first in the topic of assessing the effectiveness of PM purification, taking into account various dust fractions. This study should be useful for individual customers and for public utilities during purchase decisions.

Abstract:
Environmental context Thallium occurs in the environment in two oxidation states, with TlIII being 1000-fold more toxic than TlI. We present a fractionation and speciation study of thallium in suspended particulate matter from highly polluted wastewater samples, and elucidate the dominant forms of thallium. Abstract Thallium (Tl) is a toxic element, whose toxicity is affected by its redox state. Compared with TlIII, TlI is thermodynamically more stable and less reactive; therefore in aquatic environments, dissolved thallium is mostly present as TlI. However, TlIII could be 1000 times more toxic than TlI. A combination of a fractionation and a speciation study carried out in highly polluted wastewater samples from a mining area in southern Poland in order to characterise chemical speciation of Tl in physically defined fractions is presented here. Total, particulate and dissolved thallium was determined. A leaching experiment based on forming TlIII complexed with diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid – a TlIII–DTPA complex – was performed in filters containing suspended particulate matter after single (0.45µm) and sequential filtration (15 + 0.45µm) of wastewater samples. This is the first speciation study of Tl carried out in suspended particulate matter. The results obtained indicate that the dominant form of Tl in suspended particulate matter is TlI, but TlIII could be found in suspended particulate matter fractions larger than 0.45µm.

Abstract. Mass-specific absorption (ai∗(λ)) and scattering (bi∗(λ)) coefficients were derived for four size fractions (i = 0.2–0.4, 0.4–0.7, 0.7–10, and > 10 µm, λ = wavelength in nm) of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and with samples obtained from surface waters (i.e., 0–2 m depth) of the Saint Lawrence Estuary and Saguenay Fjord (SLE-SF) during June of 2013. For the visible–near-infrared spectral range (i.e., λ = 400–710 nm), mass-specific absorption coefficients of total SPM (i.e., particulates > 0.2 µm) (hereafter aSPM∗) had low values (e.g., < 0.01 m2 g−1 at λ = 440 nm) in areas of the lower estuary dominated by particle assemblages with relatively large mean grain size and high particulate organic carbon and chlorophyll a per unit of mass of SPM. Conversely, largest aSPM∗ values (i.e., > 0.05 m2 g−1 at λ = 440 nm) corresponded with locations of the upper estuary and SF where particulates were mineral-rich and/or their mean diameter was relatively small. The variability of two optical proxies (the spectral slope of particulate beam attenuation coefficient and the mass-specific particulate absorption coefficient, hereafter γ and Svis, respectively) with respect to changes in particle size distribution (PSD) and chemical composition was also examined. The slope of the PSD was correlated with bi∗(550) (Spearman rank correlation coefficient ρs up to 0.37) and ai∗(440) estimates (ρs up to 0.32) in a comparable way. Conversely, the contribution of particulate inorganic matter to total mass of SPM (FSPMPIM) had a stronger correlation with ai∗ coefficients at a wavelength of 440 nm (ρs up to 0.50). The magnitude of γ was positively related to FSPMi or the contribution of size fraction i to the total mass of SPM (ρs up to 0.53 for i = 0.2–0.4 µm). Also, the relation between γ and FSPMPIM variability was secondary (ρs = −0.34, P > 0.05). Lastly, the magnitude of Svis was inversely correlated with aSPM∗(440) (ρs = −0.55, P = 0.04) and FSPMPIM (ρs = −0.62, P = 0.018) in sampling locations with a larger marine influence (i.e., lower estuary).

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of size distribution and chemical composition of ambient particulates inside a tunnel. Inside the tunnel, the average concentration of PM2.5and PM2.5-10was 479 and 444 μg/m3respectively. The average mass-size distribution showed a trimodal distribution (25-30, 4.0-5.0, and 2.5, PM2.5-10, and PM>10were 25%, 40%, and 35% of the total suspended particulates. Because of the poor air ventilation inside the tunnel, the particulates accumulate inside the tunnel. The dominated species of PM2.5were EC (average concentration 122.91 μg/m3, 25.78%), OC (47.68 μg/m3, 10.53%), SO42-(37.42 μg/m3, 8.24%), and NO3-(35.01 μg/m3, 7.95%), and were EC ( 131.77 μg/m3, 29.87%), OC (53.74 μg/m3, 12.15%), SO42-(31.35 μg/m3, 7.11%), and NO3-(28.10 μg/m3, 6.42%) for PM2.5-10. Results from this study showed that the concentrations of coarse particulate matter and several metals are apparently dominated by re-suspended matter rather than emissions from vehicles, e.g., Al, Ca, and Fe. Therefore, ambient particulate matter is caused by not only vehicle exhaust emission but also dusty roads and traffic-generated dust.

Abstract:
This study investigates translocation of particulate carbon and nitrogen from burned and unburned catchments within New Mexico's Valles Caldera National Preserve following severe wildfire. My research questions are: (1) how much carbon and nitrogen is eroded from burned slopes and re-deposited in debris fans? and (2) how do these quantities compare to fluvial export of particulate carbon and nitrogen from nearby unburned catchments? Results indicate that the ~200 kg ha⁻¹ of nitrogen per depositional area on the debris fans represents ~50 to 100 years' worth of atmospheric inputs. In total, 124 times more carbon and 21 times more nitrogen were deposited on the two fans than was exported in particulate form from all three unburned catchments combined in water year 2012. My findings suggest that post-fire erosion may increase nitrogen loading to downslope environments, with the potential to alter the biogeochemical budgets of both aquatic and terrestrial systems.

Abstract:
Methods for the determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with suspended participate matter were developed with the aim of determining airborne concentrations and to investigate seasonal trends. Other associate pollutants such as Total Suspended Particulate matter (TSP), Particulate Matter with an equivalent aerodynamic diameter less than 10 micrometres (PM10) and lead concentration were also reviewed to determine trends. Motor vehicle emissions appear to be the source of the PAHs and differences between the types and concentrations of PAHs detected at central business district sites verses suburban sites were noted. Wind erosion, biomass burning, motor vehicle emissions and industrial processes are sources of particulate matter in the atmosphere. Lead comes mainly from motor vehicles emissions in the ACT with some lead possibly from the burning of lead contaminated fuel. TSP and lead concentrations have decreased since air quality monitoring began in the early 1980s. PM10 concentration may also have fallen but the data set for PM10s is to small to draw any firm conclusions. Only TSP lead concentrations displayed a seasonal pattern. The ACT air pollution Act 1984 has placed restriction on the burning of fuels to improve air quality in the ACT. The air quality in regards to TSP and lead is improving. However, the only strong links between the Act and decreased pollutant concentrations is the introduction of unleaded petrol and the decrease of airborne lead concentrations.

CAPES
O objetivo principal da presente tese constitui em agregar informações ao conhecimento sobre a fração orgânica do material em suspensão na região oceânica- costeira - estuarina do litoral de Pernambuco e na região costeira adjacente, principalmente no que se refere às suas concentrações, avaliando a distribuição do COP e NT. Em função da sua importância e estudos relacionados ao material em suspensão serem escassos para o carbono e nitrogênio nessas regiões. A tese é apresentada como um conjunto de capítulos interligados, nos quais foram apresentados resultados da distribuição do COP e NT nas plumas dos rios Capibaribe e Jaboatão e o arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha, com relativamente pouca influência humana, e foi escolhida como área de controle. A exportação de matéria orgânica via fluxo estuarino, ficou definida pelas medianas do Carbono Elementar de (2,04% e 0,97%) e Nitrogênio Elementar de (0,63% e 0,24%) e razão C/N de (6,60 e 9,30) nas plumas do Capibaribe e Jaboatão respectivamente. A análise de componentes principais aplicada aos dados sugeriu que os altos índices pluviométricos e o material carreado pelo fluxo fluvial para região costeira influenciaram a distribuição dessas frações e que tais diferenças podem resultar das diferentes cargas de ação antrópica e mecanismos de transporte estuário – região costeira revelando a complexidade da distribuição da matéria orgânica nestes ambientes. No segundo capítulo-artigo estudo caracterizou a matéria orgânica em função das razões elementares e isotópicas δ13C, δ15N, C/N do material particulado em suspensão na água superficial em 21 pontos amostrais sendo 12 no estuário do rio Capibaribe e 9 no estuário do rio Jaboatão. Os maiores valores de δ13C, δ15N, C/N (-17,75‰, 23,71‰ e 13,45‰) no Capibaribe e, (-21,97‰, 27,30‰ e 14,74‰) no Jaboatão, respectivamente. Os valores encontrados sugerem que uma grande parte da matéria em suspensão dos rios em estudo, se origina a partir de entradas de efluentes com alto teor de matéria orgânica, como também que a MO exportada pelos rios é fortemente influenciada pelo seu elevado estado de eutrofização, com acentuada produção autóctone. Nos estuários superiores os valores empobrecidos de 13C indicam maior presença de material tanto de origem continental quanto de origem mista. É também observado que δ13C e a razão C/N não são correlacionados no estuário do Capibaribe e estes resultados sugerem que existem áreas no estuário de preferência, fontes de matéria orgânica sob a influência tanto de autóctones (estuário inferior) como de alóctones (estuário superior). O terceiro e último capítulo - artigo ocorreu na região costeira de PE e foram agregadas as frações COP e NT à fração de COD, as quais não apresentaram correlação, indicando que elas não tenham a mesma fonte, destacando a influência alóctone para o aumento dessas frações e assim os efeitos de influencia do rio Capibaribe nas águas oligotróficas costeiras.
The main objective of this thesis is to add information to the existing knowledge of the organic fraction of suspended matter in the oceanic-coastal-estuarine region of the coast of Pernambuco, Brazil and the adjacent coastal zone, mainly in regard to its concentrations, by evaluating the distribution of POC and NT. In spite of the importance of this topic, studies on suspended matter for carbon and nitrogen are scarce in these regions. The thesis is presented as a set of interrelated chapters that contain the results of POC and NT distribution in the plumes of rivers Capibaribe and Jaboatão. The Fernando de Noronha Archipelago was chosen as a control area because of the minimal human influence in this region. The export of organic matter through estuarine flow was defined using the medians of elemental carbon (2.04% and 0.97%) and elemental nitrogen (0.63% and 0.24%), and C/N ratio (6.60 and 9.30) in the Capibaribe and Jaboatão plumes, respectively. The principal component analysis applied to the data suggests that the high rainfall and the matter carried by the river flow to the coastal region influence the distribution of these fractions. The analysis also suggests that the detected differences can be caused by different charges of human action and estuarycoastal mechanisms of transport, thus revealing the complexity of the distribution of organic matter in these environments. In the second chapter of the article, organic matter was characterised on the basis of elementary and isotopic ratios δ13C, δ15N, and C/N of the suspended particulate matter in surface water at 21 sampling points, of which 12 were in the estuary of river Capibaribe and 9 in the estuary of river Jaboatão. The highest values of δ13C, δ15N, and C/N (-17.75‰, 23.71‰, and 13.45 ‰) in Capibaribe and (-21.97‰, 27.30‰, and 14.74 ‰) in Jaboatao, respectively. The values found in this study suggest that a large proportion of suspended matter from the rivers originates from effluent inputs with high organic matter content. Also, the OM exported by the rivers is heavily influenced by a high state of eutrophication, with pronounced autochthonous production. In the upper estuary, the impoverished values of δ13C indicate a greater presence of matter of continental origin and of mixed origin. It was also observed that δ13C and C/N ratio are not correlated in the estuary of the Capibaribe, which suggests that there are areas at the estuary of preference where sources of organic matter are under the influence of autochthonous (lower estuary) or allochthonous (upper estuary) contributions. The third and final chapter-article occurred in the coastal zone of PE. Here, the fractions of POC and NT were added to the fraction of DOC and showed no correlation, which indicates that they do not share the same source. Moreover, this finding highlights the influence of allochthonous contributions to the increase of these fractions and the consequent effects of the influence of Capibaribe river in coastal oligotrophic waters.

Abstract:
Foram abordadas questões relacionadas com a temática da poluição atmosférica provocada pelo material particulado em suspensão. Dois ambientes foram selecionados para estudo: um ambiente de mineração e um ambiente urbano. Com o objetivo de obter uma avaliação preliminar da qualidade do ar nesses ambientes, foi realizado um programa de amostragem para cada área. Dois pontos básicos foram abordados nessa avaliação: a determinação da concentração de partículas totais em suspensão e a caracterização química e física do material particulado. A determinação das concentrações de partículas totais em suspensão foi obtida através do uso de amostradores de grande volume (Hi-vols). O método de referência utilizado foi o método do amostrador de grande volume proposto pela ABNT através da norma NBR 9547: 97. A caracterização física envolveu a determinação da distribuição granulométrica do material particulado em suspensão enquanto que a caracterização química compreendeu a determinação da sua composição. As técnicas analíticas utilizadas na caracterização do material particulado, foram a espectrometria de Fluorescência de Raios-X (XRF) para a caracterização química, e o Espalhamento de Luz Laser de Baixo Angulo (LALLS) para a caracterização física. Com relação às concentrações de partículas totais em suspensão, os resultados indicaram que as áreas de mineração apresentaram valores superiores aos encontrados na área urbana, inclusive com ultrapassagens dos padrões legais, fato este que não ocorreu na área urbana estudada. Para a distribuição granulométrica do material particulado, os resultados demonstraram que as frações mais finas do particulado apresentaram-se em maiores quantidades nas áreas de mineração, enquanto que as frações mais grosseiras apresentaram-se em maior quantidade na área urbana. Quanto à composição química do material particulado em suspensão, podemos concluir que para as áreas de mineração, esta foi muito semelhante à da rocha lavrada.
Atmospheric pollution aspects were analyzed. Two types of ambients were selected for study: a mining ambient and an urban ambient. To obtain a preliminary evaluation of the quality of the air in these ambients a sampling program was accomplished for each area. Two basic points were studied: the concentration of the total suspended particulates and the chemical and physical characterization of the particulate matter. The concentrations of total suspended particulates were obtained through the use of high volume samplers (Hi-vols). The reference method used was the high volume sampler method, proposed by ABNT through the norm NBR 9547: 97. The physical characterization involved the determination of the size distribution of the suspended particulate matter while the chemical characterization involved the determination of its composition. The analytic techniques used for the characterization of the particulate matter were the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) for the chemical characterization, and the Low Angle Laser Light Scattering (LALLS) for the physical characterization. Concentration levels for total suspended particulates showed that the mining areas presented higher values than those for urban area. Legal standards were exceeded in the mining area, fact that did not occur in the urban area. Size distributions of the particulate matter demonstrated that the finest fractions were found in larger amounts in the mining areas, while the coarses fractions were present in larger amounts in the urban area. The chemical compositions of the suspended particulate matter in the mining areas were very similar to the compositions of the rocks been mined.

Abstract:
A field filtration method for the concentration and separation of suspended particulate matter (SPM) from freshwater systems and the subsequent determination of major, minor, trace and ultra trace elements (Al, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hf, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, S, Sb, Sc, Si, Sn, Sr, Ta, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn and Zr) is validated with respect to detection limits, precision, and bias. The validation comprises the whole procedure including filtration, sample digestion and instrumental analysis. The method includes two digestion procedures (microwave acid digestion and alkali fusion) in combination with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-QMS). Total concentrations of these 38 trace and major elements have been determined in suspended particulate matter (SPM) from lake and river water with low levels of suspended solids (<2 mg l-1 DW), and a wide range of element concentrations. The precision of the method including filtration, digestion and instrumental determination ranges between 8 and 18% RSD for most elements on a dry weight basis. Higher recovery after acid digestion is found for some elements, probably because of volatilization or retention losses in the fusion procedure. Other elements show higher recovery after fusion, which is explained by more efficient decomposition of mineral phases relative to the non-total acid digestion. Non-detectable concentrations of some elements are reported due to small differences between blank filter levels and the amounts of elements present on the filters after sampling. The calculated sums of main inorganic components, expressed as oxides, ranges between 94.0 and 98.0% ash weight. The method limits of detection range between 0.7 ng and 100 µg, as estimated from the blank filter samples. These detection limits are 3-1000 times higher compared to the corresponding instrumental limits of detection. The accuracy and bias of the overall analytical procedure was assessed from replicate analysis of certified reference materials. A better knowledge of the mechanisms of filter clogging in sampling of suspended matter is important in order to extend the applicability of the method. For the sample types investigated in this study, the amount of inorganic material in the suspended particulate matter (SPM) seems to be the most important factor controlling the maximum volume of filterable water, and Fe is presumable the most important clogging regulating parameter in the group of elements included in the inorganic matter. A critical evaluation of the instrumental capabilities of the ICP- QMS instrumentation in comparison with the sensitive double focusing sector field plasma mass spectrometry technique (ICP-SFMS) is also included. It was found that a modified microwave acid digestion procedure in combination with ICP-SFMS could replace ICP-AES determinations and fusion digestions for most of the investigated elements. Guidelines and limitations for this powerful and relatively simple and less time consuming procedure, covering most elements in one single determination, are discussed.

Abstract:
Investigating linkages between the compositions of suspended (seston) and benthic particulate matter is important to the understanding of organic matter (OM) cycling and nutrient retention in aquatic systems. We compared the quantity and quality of the truly suspended (TS) and settleable (SB) fractions of seston as well as benthic particulate matter in the tidal freshwater James River, Virginia. The mass of seston and OM was consistently higher in the TS fraction compared to the SB fraction. OM was preferentially retained in the TS fraction relative to seston. The proportional contribution of OM constituents (chlorophyll a, particulate organic carbon and nitrogen) to the two fractions was consistent across observed concentrations whereas increases in seston concentration resulted in decreased proportions in the TS fraction. Benthic constituent reservoirs were large relative to the SB fraction but the higher proportion of OM in the SB fraction suggests that the settleable material was more labile.

Abstract:
Abstract DATA of Aerosol Robotic Network (Aeronet) stations and Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) were obtained to get valuable and reliable information about the occurrence of dust events. In addition to Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) provide informative and long dust events record. To analyze the dust time series, monthly, annual and seasonal linear trends are applied to the dust time series. This is achieved by summing the total number of dusty hours for each month and then the total number of dusty days for the month is calculated. Dust trend analysis includes; annual, winter, spring, summer and autumn with the rate of change. Dust frequency of seasons in days/season before and after sorting in a descending manner from 1984 to 2013.

Abstract:
SPM (suspended particulate matters) removal effects of a humidity swing operation where sample air is continuously humidified with heating and dehumidified with cooling were experimentally studied. The experimental results showed that the humidity swing operation reduced SPM ranging from nanometer to micrometer sizes due to multiple phenomena such as suction flow accompanying condensation and thermophoresis, and the total SPM concentration decreased by 80% under the maximum humidity swing condition. The removal mechanisms were theoretically estimated. It was estimated that contributions of the suction and thermophoresis are significant, gravitational sedimentation works above 5 μm size, and the effect of inertial collision is insignificant. Nuclear condensation that markedly changes the SPM size distribution would not be an effective SPM removal effect. The sum of the theoretical estimations is smaller than the experimental result, and study for clarifying the removal mechanisms is necessary. It was also experimentally confirmed that the SPM reduction effects have no dependence on the concentration. The SPM removal experiment in a circulating system was also conducted. With repeatedly applying the humidity swing operation, the SPM concentration for whole size ranges exponentially decreased and converged at certain value. SPM generation by a mechanical pump might occur. With improving the apparatus, this method is expected to become an effective SPM removal method applicable for the SPM from nanometer to micrometer size.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to develop a new air cleaning method being applicable to suspended particulate matters (SPM) of wide sizes. We experimentally studied about the effects of a humidity swing operation where sample air is continuously humidified with heating and dehumidified with cooling. The total of SPM concentration of sample air decreased with the humidity swing operation; however, the concentration of SPM from 0.3 to 1 μm markedly increased. Suction flow accompanying condensation, cohesion and thermophoresis were considered as the SPM reduction effects. It would appear that the nano-size SPM grew to submicron size by nuclear condensation and submicron size SPM increased. The experimental results showed that the SPM concentration of 0.3 μm or less decreased by 89% and the total of that decreased by 80%. The applicability of the humidity swing operation to removal of SPM including nano size SPM was shown by the results. Also, exponential reduction of the SPM concentration was demonstrated with applying the repeated humidity swing operation in a circulation air-cleaning apparatus. This method is expected to become effective air cleaning method applicable to wide size range of SPM.

Abstract:
Abstract Drilling mud is a slurry comprising oil, water, and chemical additives. Mud is critical to drilling a modern well as it is circulated down a wellbore to remove rock cuttings and to power the drill bit. A significant volume of this drilling mud is used and later recirculated. The drilling mud warms at depth, creating steam, which holds suspended PM and dissolved chemicals. Many of the pieces of equipment are open or only partially enclosed, allowing for steam generation, while other processes generate aerosolised sprays. There is a significant potential for petroleum workers to become exposed and potentially suffer health effects because of drilling mud exposure. This study aims to find the major sources of PM10 on petroleum wells and quantify the levels of exposure and health hazard associated with drilling mud on petroleum rigs. A literature search was performed, which included all available materials which contained static or mobile concentrations of PM10 or oil mist within the UK or international petroleum drilling sites with a preference for North Sea operations. The study predicts the total PM10 by estimating the combined impact of both solid PM and oil mist. Using this conversion, it is also possible to estimate PM10 concentrations when using water-based muds. The work designates and discusses the expected health ramifications of excess exposure. A quantitative assessment of the risk of silicosis 15 years post-exposure is also calculated, predicting dire consequences to petroleum personnel in the long term. The exposure assessment methods, hygienic standards, and preventive measures are also addressed briefly.
