Airborne particulate matter (PM) pollution has become a serious environmental problem. Thus, there is a need for the development of air filters with satisfactory overall performance. In this paper, we develop a kind of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) based air filter with high strength, which has not only high filtration efficiency (about 99%) but also good air permeability (the pressure drop is only 45Pa). Especially after long-term application, the pression drop of β-cyclodextrin based was less than half of the commercial air-filter. Additionally, the material can capture the toxic gasous chemicals (e.g. formaldehyde and SO). The introduction of β-CD is supposed to be the key factor for improvement of air filter.

This study aims to determine the optimal structure of the Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) for an AB-BNCT (Accelerator-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) facility. The aim is to maximize the possible depth of treatment for glioblastoma while ensuring that a treatment time constraint is not exceeded. Approach.

We assessed the real-world particulate emissions of a goods movement diesel vehicle, with an emphasis on total particle number and solid particle number emissions at different cutoff sizes. The vehicle was tested on routes in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) of California, representative of typical goods movement operation between the ports to warehouses and logistic centers with a mixture of urban and highway driving, as well as elevation change. We evaluated emissions during normal vehicle operation and diesel particulate filter (DPF) active regeneration events.

Cigarette filter microplastics are composed of cellulose acetate that does not undergo biological or photo-degradation. These microplastics are readily dispersed and can be found abundantly in water, soil, and air. These fibers possess high absorption capabilities, allowing them to collect and retain pollutants such as toxic elements.

Currently, the primary composition of fibrous filter materials predominantly relies on synthetic polymers derived from petroleum. The utilization of these polymers, as well as their production process, has a negative impact on the environment. Consequently, the adoption of air filter media fabricated from natural fibers would yield significant environmental benefits.

A multiple-site filter-sampling observation study was conducted in a coastal industrial city (Rizhao, 35°10'59″N, 119°23'57″E) to understand the main components, formation mechanisms, and potential sources of particulate matter. The average (±σ) mass concentration of PM across all the sites was 42 (±27) μg/m, with high variability (6∼202 μg/m). Water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs) were the major contributors (54%∼60%) to PM with mean values for sulfate (13 μg/m), nitrate (6 μg/m), and ammonium (7 μg/m) (SNA).
