Cancer risks from exposure to vehicular air pollution: a household level analysis of intra-ethnic heterogeneity in Miami,Florida

Quantitative environmental justice (EJ) research has relied on aggregated data from census units to determine disproportionate hazard exposure. Additionally, variables typically used to analyze ethnic inequities in exposure (e.g., percent Hispanic) are too broad and assume a degree of homogeneity that may not exist, given the diversity of ethnic minority populations. We address these limitations through a study that utilizes primary household level survey data and cancer risk estimates from the National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) to analyze intra-ethnic inequities in exposure to vehicular air pollutants in the Miami metropolitan area, Florida. Our analysis disaggregates the Hispanic category based on five characteristics (language proficiency, U.S. citizenship, nativity, unemployment status, and national origin) and finds that risk burdens are significantly higher for Hispanic respondents who are foreign-born, unemployed, and of Cuban origin. Findings highlight the advantages of downscaling EJ analyses to the household level and considering intra-ethnic heterogeneity in EJ research and policy.  相似文献   

乌鲁木齐市MODIS气溶胶光学厚度与空气质量指数相关性分析     

陈鹏  张青  李悦 《沙漠与绿洲气象(新疆气象)》2018,12(2):71-77

利用MODIS气溶胶光学厚度(AOD,Aerosol Optical Depth)产品与同期乌鲁木齐市空气质量指数进行相关性分析,得到二者的相关系数为0.664。对MODIS AOD产品进行垂直和湿度订正后,二者的相关性显著提高,相关系数从0.664提高到0.805。订正后按季节分类统计,春、夏、秋3季的相关系数分别为0.775、0.608和0.822,其中秋季的订正更为有效,可用性更高。这可能受到不同季节气溶胶来源、特征以及数据样本差异的影响。最后分别建立全年、春季、夏季和秋季的线性、对数、一元二次、乘幂和指数5种类型的拟合模型。考虑模型易于利用的因素,依据各拟合模型相关系数的大小得到全年以及各季节最优拟合模型,该模型函数可用来反演和监测乌鲁木齐市空气质量指数。  相似文献

Models-3空气质量模式对兰州市污染物输送的模拟   总被引：23，自引：7，他引：16  

安兴琴  左洪超  吕世华  朱彤 《高原气象》2005,24(5):748-756

较详细地介绍了美国环保总局的第三代空气质量模式系统Models-3的特点,并且针对兰州市冬季采暖期污染严重的特点,选取2002年12月份的个例,将兰州市最新的大气污染源资料加入模式中．对模式进行调试并检验了该模式对兰州污染的模拟性能。从模式对SO2,NO2和O3等几种大气污染物浓度的模拟结果与监测资料对比分析,表明该模式系统较好地模拟出了SO2,NO2的空间分布格局,模拟结果与监测结果比较吻合,而且模式模拟的污染物浓度场比较均匀;模式模拟的O3的日变化规律与资料分析结论基本一致,也符合O3的生成机理。因此该模式系统对于复杂地形条件下的城市污染物输送具有一定的模拟能力。  相似文献   

秸秆焚烧导致的江苏持续雾霾天气过程分析   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1

利用常规观测资料和NCEP再分析资料,从污染情况、环流背景、地面气象要素特征、水汽、热力及动力条件等几个方面对江苏2012年6月中上旬持续雾霾天气进行了分析。结果表明:江苏及周边省市秸秆焚烧造成大量的气溶胶粒子悬浮于空中,是造成江苏出现持续不同程度的霾天气的主要原因,同时也为雾滴形成提供了丰富的凝结核;中高层冷空气强度未能完全破坏底层相对稳定的层结,较小的风速和较大的湿度有利于雾霾的发展,重度霾或雾风速多在3 m/s以下,且相对湿度在80%以上。频繁的弱降水过程对雾的形成和霾的加重起到了重要的作用;低层的逆温或近中性层结的维持,为雾霾持续存在提供了有利的层结条件,且浓雾形成主要有辐射贴地逆温和平流逆温两种形式;垂直上升运动与雾霾的发展之间有着互相影响的紧密联系,在具备一定的水汽条件时,底层弱的上升运动有利于雾体的向上发展从而促进雾的加浓。后向轨迹模拟雾霾相对较严重的6月10日污染轨迹表明沿江和苏南地区污染物浓度上升除了本地悬浮颗粒物外,安徽境内的污染物的输送也是一个重要因素,而北部地区更多还是本地的污染源。  相似文献   

北京地区大气污染分布的“南北两重天”现象   总被引：11，自引：2，他引：9

利用2006年北京地区空气质量监测站和自动气象站网资料,以及华北地区中尺度气象观测资料,分析了北京地区大气污染分布的“南北两重天”现象.通过对此类现象发生过程中天气形势和北京地区气象要素的分析,指出了造成该现象的天气学成因和气象要素特征.研究结果表明,2006年北京共发生47次“南北两重天”现象,其中大部分发生在秋、冬季的午夜至次日上午,且多为南差北好的污染物分布情景.该现象的发生与北京地区中-α尺度天气系统活动的一些特征有关,特别是与干冷空气进入北京地区的路径以及移动速度的区域差异有关.另外,在弱天气系统控制下,北京西南部地区经常出现的小尺度辐合型流场,也是形成北京地区“南北两重天”现象的重要原因.  相似文献   

A numerical study of tropospheric ozone in the springtime in East Asia   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11

The Models-3 Community Multi-scale Air Quality modeling system (CMAQ)coupled with the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS)is applied to East Asia to study the transport and photochemical transformation of tropospheric ozone in March 1998．The calculated mixing ratios of ozone and carbon monoxide are compared with ground 1evel observations at three remote sites in Japan and it is found that the model reproduces the observed features very well．Examination of several high episodes of ozone and carbon monoxide indicates that these elevated levels are found in association with continental outflow,demonstrating the critical role of the rapid transport of carbon monoxide and other ozone precursors from the continental boundary layer．In comparison with available ozonesonde data,it is found that the model-calculated ozone concentrations are generally in good agreement with the measurements,and the stratospheric contribution to surface ozone mixing ratios is quite limited．  相似文献

利用相关统计法分析2006—2008年厦门市地面气象要素对空气污染指数变化的影响规律。结果表明：风速、气温、降水、相对湿度和水汽压对空气污染指数有显著负效应作用,气压起显著正效应作用;风向影响较为复杂, NNW-N-E-ESE风起正效应作用, SE-S-W风起负效应作用,厦门风向总体不利于空气质量提高,全年仅夏季盛行SE-S-W风。API指数与风向、气温、降水、气压、相对湿度和水汽压的季节变化规律有高相关性。API指数与气象要素中的水汽压关系最相关,其次是气压。  相似文献

The Annual Characteristics of Rainwater HCHO in Guiyang City,Southwest of China     

Xu Gang  Shao HongBo  Lee XinQing  Lv YingChun 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2010,38(8):726-731

HCHO is ubiquitous and important chemical constitutes in the troposphere. The concentrations of the HCHO (aq) in the rainwater were measured in the Guiyang city, southeastern of China from May 2006 to April 2007 and 153 discrete samples were collected. Rainwater (N = 151) HCHO (aq) concentrations ranged from lower than method detection limit (MDL) to 40.2 µmol/L with a volume weighted mean value of 7.4 ± 8.8 µmol/L. The strong correlations between HCHO (aq) and HCOO^? (r = 0.69, n = 137), HCHO (aq) and nss‐ (r = 0.74, n = 137), HCHO (aq) and (r = 0.67, n = 137), HCHO (aq) and (r = 0.74, n = 133) suggest the significant influence of the anthropogenic input for the HCHO (aq) levels. The concentration levels of rainwater HCHO (aq) was inversely proportional to the amount of rainfall, indicating the below‐cloud process is the most important mechanism for rainwater HCHO (aq) scavenging processes. More than 70% of the HCHO (aq) wet deposition took place during the early stage of the rainfall. According to the air mass back‐trajectory analysis, the rainwater with industrial back‐trajectories coming from the north had the highest levels of HCHO (aq) while the rainwater with the green‐covered or marine back‐trajectories from the southeast had the lowest concentrations, and this indicate the HCHO (aq) originated from urban or industrial regions served as an important source of the rainwater. The annual HCHO (aq) wet deposition flux was calculated as 6.96 mmol/m² per year and the total deposition flux was estimated as 24.35 mmol/m² per year, 71.4% of which was dominated by dry deposition.  相似文献
