Synthesis of Lead and Lead Oxide Nanoparticles for Inhalation Experiments
Moravec, Pavel ; Smolík, Jiří ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Vodička, Petr ; Fajgar, Radek
From the three tested methods of NP's generation the evaporation/condensation of metallic Pb seems to be the most suitable for long lasting inhalation experiments due to its simplicity, unambiguous mechanism of NP′s formation and well defined composition. Nevertheless, NP′s can change their composition, at least on the surface layer, during the time-lag between their formation and inhalation. Thermal decomposition of PbTHD2 can produce sufficiently high concentration of NP′s but there is some uncertainty about their composition due to presence of OC in NP′s. Oxidation of PbTHD2 produces carbon free NP′s, but the number concentration of NP′s is somewhat low.

Mass Size Distribution of Atmospheric Aerosols and Water Soluble Ions atMlada Boleslav in Winter
Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Vodička, Petr ; Hovorka, J. ; Moravec, Pavel ; Ždímal, Vladimír
The importance of the knowledge of aerosol mass size distribution for understanding aerosol behavior is well known for at least few decades. The water soluble ions represent a driving factor controlling hygroscopicity of aerosol particles that determines how the ambient relative humidity influences aerosol particle size. Therefore, hygroscopicity is a substantial parameter in phenomena like particle deposition in the human respiratory tract, particle – cloud interactions, aerosol optical effects etc. For these reasons, the mass size distribution of atmospheric aerosols and water soluble ions was studied at a Czech medium-size-town Mladá Boleslav in winter.

Generation of Pb/PbOx Nanoparticles for Inhalation Experiments
Moravec, Pavel ; Smolík, Jiří ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Vodička, Petr ; Fajgar, Radek
Health aspects of nanoparticles (NP′s) on living beings are considered to be important. However, the real data of the impact of NP′s inhalation are rather rare. A study of allocation of MnOx nanoparticles in organs of laboratory animals in inhalation chamber was presented by Večeřa and Mikuška (2012). For these experiments a source of continual generation of nanoparticles in duration of days or even weeks and in appropriate concentration is necessary. In this work a study of continual generation of Pb/PbOx nanoparticles in hot wall tube reactor are presented.

Comparability of Methods to Measure Black and Elemental Carbon in Two European Urban Areas - Site and Seasonal Similarities and Differences
Hitzenberger, R. ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Aschauer, I. ; Haindl, R. ; Ludwig, W. ; Wagner, R. ; Wonaschuetz, A. ; Zecha, G. ; Ševčíková, Irena ; Vodička, Petr ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Ždímal, Vladimír
The goal of the current study is to investigate whether similar conversion factors are applicable at the sites and whether the conversion factors obtained earlier (i.e. ca. 10 years ago) for Vienna are still valid or whether changing source conditions have resulted in shifts of the carbonaceous fractions of the aerosol that would require a new set of conversion factors.

Comparison of Mass Size Distribution of PM and Ions in Prague and Vienna in Winter and Summer
Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Vodička, Petr ; Ševčíková, Irena ; Kugler, Josef ; Wonaschuetz, A. ; Aschauer, I. ; Ludwig, W. ; Haindl, R. ; Zecha, G. ; Hitzenberger, R. ; Ždímal, Vladimír
The results we obtained on mass size distributions of mass and water soluble ions exhibit common basic features of ambient aerosols in Central Europe. E.g., mass size distributions in winter were dominated by a fine mode. Sulfates and ammonium were almost exclusively present in the fine mode, fine nitrates were mostly low in summer due to high summer temperatures, but they had always a distinct coarse mode. Normal size distributions of ammonium and sulfates were often almost identical in summer due to low nitrates.

Inhalation of nanoparticles MnxOy
Mikuška, Pavel ; Večeřa, Zbyněk ; Dočekal, Bohumil
Contribution deals with inhalation of nanoparticles MnxOy by small experimental animals and with study of Mn allocation in organs of exposed mice. Content of Mn in organs of exposed mice was compared with content of Mn in organs of control mice that were not exposed to inhalation of MnxOy nanoparticles.
