Abstract

Objective To investigate the pollution characteristics of metallic elements in PM2.5 in winter of Tianjin, and to assess the population health risks.Methods From December 2013 to February 2014, ambient PM2.5 samples were collected in Tianjin urban, suburb and rural areas, respectively. By weighing method and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry respectively, the concentration of PM2.5 and 12 kinds of metals were detected. Health risk assessment was conducted using the recommended USA EPA model.Results The concentrations of PM2.5 of urban, suburb and rural were from 130.29 ug/m³ to 229.91 ug/m³. The concentrations of PM2.5 in haze days of urban and suburb were higher than that of non-haze days. The concentration of PM2.5 in rural area was higher than that in urban and suburb. The non-carcinogenic risk from higher to lower of the five metals was Pb> Mn> Sb> Se> Hg, and the risk in haze days was higher than in non-haze days, and to children was higher than adults. Both in haze days and non-haze days, the level of non-carcinogenic risk of five metals were lower than 1 in urban, suburb and rural areas. The level of cancer risk of metal element Cr in PM2.5 was about 10^-5 except it was in non-haze days of urban and suburb.Conclusions The pollution of metals in PM2.5 was serious in Tianjin. The non-carcinogenic risks of metals did not exist, and the cancer risks of As, Cd and Ni were in acceptable level, but Cr could be health risk.
