Fifteen years of airborne particulates in vitro toxicology in Milano: Lessons and perspectives learned

Longhin, Eleonora Marte; Mantecca, Paride; Gualtieri, Maurizio

Air pollution is one of the world’s leading environmental causes of death. The epidemiological relationship between outdoor air pollution and the onset of health diseases associated with death is now well established. Relevant toxicological proofs are now dissecting the molecular processes that cause inflammation, reactive species generation, and DNA damage. In addition, new data are pointing out the role of airborne particulates in the modulation of genes and microRNAs potentially involved in the onset of human diseases. In the present review we collect the relevant findings on airborne particulates of one of the biggest hot spots of air pollution in Europe (i.e., the Po Valley), in the largest urban area of this region, Milan. The different aerodynamic fractions are discussed separately with a specific focus on fine and ultrafine particles that are now the main focus of several studies. Results are compared with more recent international findings. Possible future perspectives of research are proposed to create a new discussion among scientists working on the toxicological effects of airborne particles.

Final report: Air quality management feasibility study for Armenia. NILU OR

Randall, S.; Tønnesen, D.; Liu, L.

A Feasibility Study has been performed to assess the Air Quality Management (AQM) situation in Armenia for the purpose of potentially preparing a future comprehensive project proposal for establishing an Air Quality Management Program (AQMP) for the country. The study was conducted in cooperation with local Armenian Environmental authorities (primarily the Environmental Impact Monitoring Centre - EIMC) to evaluate the existing local monitoring network and collaborating institutions, in addition to performing a screening study in Yerevan based on passive samplers. Results from the study indicate that Armenia needs technical support and training in order to establish a comprehensive AQMP. Recommendations, including a detailed roadmap, are presented as suggestions for the framework of a future proposal to establish a successful AQMP in Armenia.

Final report. Experimental Study Investigating Risks of selected Amines (ExSIRA). Task 4: Atmospheric corrosion due to amines. NILU OR

Grøntoft, T.; Ofstad, T.

The effect of selected amines on the corrosion of carbon steel and copper was investigated in the laboratory and in the field. The steel and copper samples were exposed to loads of the amines in the laboratory, representing possible 10 years maximum real exposure due to emission from a CO2 capturing plant, and to higher doses in the laboratory and in the field. No effect on the corrosion rate for steel was detected for the application of a possible 10 years real maximum dose of the amines in the laboratory as compared to blanks. Application of 700 times higher doses of amines in the laboratory was observed to give anodic protection, and thus reduced corrosion, of steel samples, but to dissolve the surface of a copper sample. The anodic protection was due to the formation of an amine surface film that protected the sample form oxidation. The dissolution of copper was probably due to formation of a copper-amine complex at high pH. A slight increase in corrosion was observed for samples that were exposed to the equivalent of possible 65 years maximum real exposure of amines in the field. This may be explained by freezing point depression and increased time of wetness of the sample surfaces due to accumulation of the amine solute on the sample surfaces in the season with frost.
