【报告题目】空气中的微塑料—是否为人类的新敌人
Airborne microplastics: are they the new enemy
【报告摘要】
微小塑料颗粒—微塑料—是水生栖息地环境面临的严峻问题。最近，据报道微塑料也存在于室内及室外的大气沉降中，由于其存在吸入风险而引起广泛关注。然而，现对于空气中微塑料的了解仍较少，如其时空分布浓度、化学组成成分以及是否处于可吸入颗粒尺寸范围内等仍不清晰。在本次报告中，我们将展示基于英国伦敦的一个城市背景站点采集到的大气沉降过程中的微塑料（>25 µm）相关数据。通过尼罗红染色、明场荧光显微镜以及傅里叶红外光谱测试，发现纤维微塑料量是非纤维微塑料的十倍。其平均沉降速度相当于706个纤维微塑料/m2/天。此外，本次讲座还将介绍有源采样器与拉曼光谱联用技术的发展，该技术已被证实，在模拟样本中，微塑料检出限可低至2 μm，在环境颗粒物样本中，检出限可低至2.5 μm。随着全球在减少道路运输和燃料燃烧排放等方面与日俱增的压力，颗粒物成分可能会随之发生变化。随着塑料使用量的增长，特别是纺织行业（4%/年增长速度），空气中微塑料的相对浓度将变得越来越重要。因此，迫切需要建立全球空气微塑料承受基线并了解它们与环境颗粒物相互作用产生的潜在健康影响。
Microscopic plastic particles – microplastics – are a global issue for aquatic habitats. Recently, they have been reported in atmospheric deposition, and indoor and outdoor air, raising concern for public health due to the potential for exposure via inhalation. However, very little is known about airborne microplastics, including their spatial and temporal concentrations; chemical composition; and, importantly, whether they occur in the inhalable size range. I will present data on the presence of microplastics (>25 µm) in total atmospheric deposition sampled at an urban background site in London, UK. Using Nile Red staining, bright field and fluorescence microscopy and Fourier-transform Infrared spectroscopy, ten times more fibrous microplastics were found than non-fibrous. This equated to an average deposition rate of 706 fibrous microplastics/m2/d, with polyacrylonitrile being the predominant polymer type. I will also present developments for an analytical protocol compatible with Raman microscopy and an active pollen sampler, which has been validated to detect microplastics down to 2 µm in mock samples, and 2.5 µm in environmental particulate matter (PM). As global pressure to reduce road transport and fuel burning emissions increases, PM composition is likely to shift. In combination with a predicted increase in plastic use, especially in the textile sector (4%/year), the proportional concentration of airborne microplastics will become increasingly important. It is therefore timely to establish baseline knowledge of global airborne microplastic burdens and begin to understand what their potential role in PM-associated health effects might be.

Professor Frank Kelly holds the inaugural Humphrey Battcock Chair in Community Health and Policy, within the School of Public Health in a new global center of air pollution research. He previously served as Chair of Environmental Health at King's College London, where he was Director of the Environmental Research Group, Director of the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Health Impact of Environmental Hazards and Deputy Director of the MRC Centre for Environment & Health. Professor Frank Kelly is a member of Academia Europaea (2020), fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), Fellow of Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci), Fellow of Royal Society of Biology, IAQM Honorary Fellow, IAQM Honorary Fellow at the IAQM AGM. He received Toxicology Award, Awards Committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s (RSC) Environment, Sustainability & Energy Division, 2021, Royal Society of Chemistry Toxicology Award, 2020，and Haagen-Smit Prize. He is committee member of Steering Committee, “Clean Air” SPF programme, 2020. He is also Expert Panel Member of WHO Environment and Engineering Control Expert Panel Committee fOR COVID-19, 2020.
The substantial research activity, over which he presides, spans all aspects of air pollution research from toxicology through to science policy. The experimental research examines the toxicity of airborne particulate matter, diesel and biodiesel exhaust emissions, wood smoke and identifies of biomarkers of exposure. A new area of investigation is ambient microplastics, where work is focusing on their identification, detection and potential health effects. Professor Kelly has published over 380 peer-reviewed papers as well as many conference papers and books (as author or editor) on the toxicology and health effects of ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate pollution. He provides policy support to the World Health Organization on air pollution issues and is a member of the Health Effects Institute (HEI) Review Committee. He is past Chairman of COMEAP, the UK’s Department of Health’s Expert Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants, past President of the European Society for Free Radical Research and past Chairman of the British Association for Lung Research.
