Article Abstract

With the constraint that all six major pollutants in Nanjing must meet the air quality standards by 2030, on the basis of the 2015 emission inventory, the CMAQ air quality model was used to conduct PM sensitivity tests, and scenario analysis was used to predict the emission inventory and the air quality of four emission reduction scenarios were simulated. Finally, the total control index under the constraint of meeting the standards was obtained. The results show that primary particulate matter (PPM) reduction is the most effective at reducing the concentration of PM in the atmosphere, on the basis of emission reduction in surrounding areas, PPM emission reduction accounts for 88% of the total reduction of the annual average concentration of PM, followed by NH, NO, SO, and VOCs, which contribute to 10.3%, 5.5%, 3.2%, and 0.5%, respectively. Compared to 2015, the reduction ratios of the major pollutants are between 22% and 53%. Controlling the activity level is more effective for SO, NH and CO emissions reduction, while there is still more opportunity for NO and VOCs end treatment. When the emissions of SO, NO, PM, PM, BC, OC, CO, VOCs, and NH are controlled to 2.43×10, 8.47×10, 9.42×10, 3.74×10, 0.19×10, 0.30×10, 26.56×10, 13.08×10, and 1.50×10 t, respectively, it is expected that the levels of the six pollutants in Nanjing can meet the national ambient air quality level 2 standards.

Aluminum (Al) is a cost-effective alternative to noble metals for plasmonics, particularly in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible regions. However, in the near-infrared (NIR) region, its performance is hindered by interband transitions (IBTs) at around 825 nm, leading to increased optical losses and broad resonances. Surface lattice resonances (SLRs) offer a promising solution by enhancing the plasmonic quality factor (-factor) through coherent coupling of localized surface plasmon (LSP) modes with Rayleigh anomalies.

The association between intrinsic capacity and functional ability in older adults - exploring the role of the physical environment.

Background: Ageing in place has been promoted in the Netherlands to encourage optimal functional ability (FA) and independent living among older adults. FA is likely dependent on intrinsic capacity (IC), a composite measure of an individual's mental and physical capacities-and its interaction with the physical environment in which people live. This study aimed to examine the association between IC and FA, as well as to explore how the physical environment may modify this relationship in older adults.

Focus on China's non-ferrous metal industry: Emission characteristics of heavy metals and their impacts on water, soil, and air.

Despite China being the world's largest producer of non-ferrous metals, a comprehensive understanding of heavy metal pollution from this industry is still lacking. This study examines the spatial coupling between heavy metal (Cd, Hg, As, Pb, and Cr) emission hotspots in China's non-ferrous metal mining industry (NFMMI), non-ferrous metal smelting and processing industry (NFMSPI) and environmental media- sensitive hotspots (water body density, cultivated land concentration, and atmospheric PM2.5) to characterize the multi-media pollution risks.

Investigating the early-stage emissions of formaldehyde/VOCs from building materials and their influencing factors.

As urbanization accelerates, the issue of pollutant discharge from building materials has become the focus of public attention. Conducted in a ventilated environmental chamber, the experiments investigated the emission characteristics of VOCs from dry and wet building materials, focusing on the influencing factors, such as temperature, relative humidity (RH), ventilation, and seasonality. The impact of influencing factors was quantified using a one-factor-at-a-time control method.

Objective: The impact of desert-originated dust has been underestimated in fine particulate matters (PM)-related disease burden studies. This study aimed to assess the association of long-term dust PM exposure and all-cause mortality among older adults in China.

Methods: A cohort study using electronic health records (2010-2020) across Weinan, a city in northwest China, which experiences persistently high PM levels and frequent sand and dust storms, included 1,553,724 adults aged ≥45 years.
