To explore the diurnal and seasonal characteristics of PM25, hourly PM25 concentration data ol It tixed monitoring sites in Chongqing urban area were collected continuously from June 2014 to May 2015. The result showed that: (1) the seasonal concentration of PM2.5 in different seasons decreased in the order of winter, autumn, spring and summer (P < 0.

In order to establish a rapid and accurate hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry method for the determination of selenium content in water samples, the influence factors on Se nitrolysis in the water such as nitrolysis temperature and the amount of hydrochloric acid were studied. The authors determined a simple and practical test method that is to add 3 mL hydrochloric acid at 3 degrees C. We measured the precision and accuracy of the method by the standard liquid of 3, 6 and 10 micro x L(-1), and the test results were 2.

The prevalence rate of DF of children living on roasted corn before the age of 6 is 100% with nearly 95% having the mild to severe DF; while that of children living on non-roasted corn or rice is less than 5% with all having very mild DF. The average fluorine and arsenic concentration are 20.

The results show that there are quite big differences in chemical mobility of fluorine in rocks of different types. Fluorine in carbonate rock is very active, in which the proportion of leachable fluorine is generally more than 75%.
