Through the survey, we found that in most of the cities in our country, the inhalable particulate matter PM10 is one of the main pollutants, especially in the capital of China -- Beijing, which is the arch-criminal cause of the air pollution. According to the quality control report released in Beijing City Environmental Protection Bureau, as can be learned, in recent years, Beijing＇s air quality goes from bad to worse, and in the overall atmospheric pollutants, the PM10 is up to above nine tenths. There are more reports saying that the air pollution levels in Beijing have been not suitable for the human habitation. With the increasing of the air pollution, the term PM2.5 is also more and more familiar to us. The air more intensified the pollution is, the greater the ratio of PM2.5 in PM10 is. In that case, it not only seriously affects the people＇s health, but also brings the huge economic losses. This paper is aimed to analyze the influence of PM2.5 on the economic situation of Beijing, and puts forward the concrete solutions.展开更多

The annual cycles of some heavy metal in particulate matters have been investigated at this area in order to elucidate temporal variations as well as major sources processes responsible for their formation. Air particulate samples were collected from three different locations situated around Tokat. These samples were determined for heavy metals by using Flame or graphite-furnace Atomic absorption spectroscopy. Particulate matter concentrations up to 52.43μg/m^3 were observed in sampling area. The initial results of the chemical analysis showed that concentration values of heavy metals in air particles observed were higher than the World Health Organization （WHO） guideline limit values.展开更多
