城市大气污染及其引起的健康效应一直是关注的热点。本研究对2018年春季西北五省省会城市PM2.5、PM10、NO2、SO2、CO和O3浓度数据进行了系统分析,并采用美国环境保护署(United States Envi‐ronmental Protection Agency,USEPA)推荐的...城市大气污染及其引起的健康效应一直是关注的热点。本研究对2018年春季西北五省省会城市PM2.5、PM10、NO2、SO2、CO和O3浓度数据进行了系统分析,并采用美国环境保护署(United States Envi‐ronmental Protection Agency,USEPA)推荐的健康风险评价模型评估了PM2.5、PM10、SO2和NO2的健康风险。结果表明:PM2.5和PM10为主要超标污染物。除乌鲁木齐市(该市PM10春季平均质量浓度亦超标)外,其余四个城市PM2.5和PM10的春季平均质量浓度均超过国家二级标准。各城市SO2、NO2、O3和CO的污染水平较低。2018年春季各城市空气质量以良好至轻度污染为主。各城市人群PM2.5和PM10的春季健康风险均在USEPA规定的可接受风险范围内。SO2和NO2的健康风险均未超过瑞典、荷兰等国推荐的可接受风险值。SO2和NO2对老人产生的健康风险最小,儿童最大,儿童为较敏感受体。儿童(<6岁)SO2/NO2的春季健康风险约是成人(18~60岁)的1.2/1.3倍,是60岁以上人群的1.7/1.8倍。不同性别及年龄阶段人群SO2和NO2的健康风险存在差异,6~17岁人群和60岁以上老人的健康风险有女性>男性的特点,6岁以下儿童与18~60岁成人的健康风险则表现为男性>女性。展开更多
