ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the environmental lead pollution level caused by a lead smeltery.Methods From the surrounding of the investigated factory,the farmland soil,sediment,water,ambient air,courtyard dust,waste and 7 kinds of crops were collected to determine the lead level.Results Respectively,the lead concentration was 3.1 mg/L in the agriculture irrigation water,exceeded the allowed limit by 30 times,was 0.07 mg/L in the pond water,exceeded the allowed limit by 0.4 time,was 1 101.5 mg/kg in the sediment of the pond,exceeded the allowed limit by 0.10 time,was 7 400.0 mg/kg in the river sediment,exceeded the allowed limit by 6.40 times,was 47.0-287.9 mg/kg in the farmland soil and within the 400 m bound around the lead smeltery,the average level in the soil was 195.0 mg/kg.Conclusion The lead smeltery has caused the lead environment pollution in degrees,it is the main source of lead pollution that caused high blood lead in some people living in that area.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the indoor air pollution characteristic and control countermeasure. Methods 10 office rooms and 100 houses that were newly redecorated for one month were chosen for the determination of formaldehyde, TVOC, ammonia and radon. The distribution characteristic of time, space of pollutants was studied. Results The concentrations of formaldehyde, TVOC, ammonia in the investigated office rooms exceeded the standard limits greatly, the average levels were 0.533, 5.57and 0.396 mg/m3 respectively. In the 100 houses, the rates of exceeding limit of formaldehyde, TVOC, ammonia were 35.0%-78.8%, 56.0%-75.0% and 37.0%-41.7% respectively. In the two kinds of sites, the concentration of radon did not exceed the limit. Along with ventilation, the concentrations of pollutants went down. Conclusion Indoor air pollution caused by redecoration is serious in a certain degree in Lanzhou.
