英文摘要:
The aerosol black carbon (BC) plays an important role in climate change. This study investigated the distribution of aerosol BC in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The concentrations of aerosol BC in the study area ranged from 0.184 to 4.920 mu g m(-3) with average value of 1.135 mu g m(-3) No significant correlations existed between soil BC and aerosol BC. Four different health endpoints including low birth weight (LBW), percentage lung function decrement of school-aged children (PLFD), cardiovascular mortality (CM), and lung cancer (LC) were used to evaluate the potential health risks posed by aerosol BC. The highest health risks of LBW, PLFD, CM, and LC reached 14.922, 39.580, 14.475, and 6.821 numbers of equivalent passively smoked cigarettes (PSC), respectively. The highest concentration and health risk of aerosol BC occurred in the industrial area. The concentrations and health risks of aerosol BC in the study area were at a middle level among global regions.
