Nanoparticles Personal Exposure Measurement Using a Novel Active Personal Nanoparticle Sampler During Machining and Weldind of Nanomaterials.
Ondráčková, Lucie ; Vlčková, Lucia ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Development of nanotechnology has grown very rapidly in past decades. Therefore, it has become increasingly important to monitor the exposure of workers in nanoparticle-based manufacturing operations. In order to determine real personal exposure, it is advisable to take a sample within the worker’s breathing zone. To perform this task, there is not much of a choice yet, since experimental methods are still under development. Recently, a novel active personal nanoparticle sampler (PENS) has been developed, collecting both respirable mass fraction (RPM) and nanoparticles (NPs) simultaneously.

To improve the air quality the underlying causalities must be well understood,particularly when it comes to aspects such as PM concentration, sources and their origin. The aim of this work was to determine air pollution origin at NAOK based on atmospheric aerosol (AA) data of different time resolution measured during intensive summer campaing.

ACTRIS IMP – ÚČAST ČESKÉ REPUBLIKY V NÁRODNÍCH VÝZKUMNÝCH INFRASTRUKTURÁCH A TÉMATICKÝCH CENTRECH ACTRIS
Ondráček, Jakub ; Váňa, M. ; Klánová, J. ; Holoubek, Ivan ; Ždímal, V.
ACTRIS (The Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure) je panevropskou výzkumnou infrastrukturou, jejímž hlavním cílem je tvorba vysoce kvalitních dat a podávání informací o krátkodobých složkách atmosféry a o procesech vedoucích ke změnám těchto složek v přírodním a kontrolovaném laboratorním prostředí. ACTRIS je dlouhodobou aktivitou (již od roku 2012, viz. Obr. 1) více než 100 partnerských organizací po celé Evropě, jejichž cílem je integrace, harmonizace a distribuce vysoce kvalitních vědeckých výstupů poskytovaných nejlepšími pracovišti atmosférického výzkumu v (prozatím) 22 evropských zemích. ACTRIS je logickým pokračováním 15-tiletého rozvoje velkých výzkumných infrastruktur financovaného členskými státy a evropskou komisí (EC) prostřednictvím programu výzkumných infrastruktur (Research Infrastructure programme) zahrnujících např. Projekty EARLINET, EUSAAR, CREATE a CLOUDNET.

Hydroscopic Behaviours of Ammonium Sulfate/Organic Mixtures Including Dicarboxylic Acid and Oligomer.
Bouzidi, Hichem ; Zuend, A. ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Here, the hygroscopic behavior of submicron particles composed of ammonium sulfate (AS), dicarboxylic acids (including oxalic acid (OA), malonic acid (MA)), and oligomer Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-300 (-CH2OCH2-)n) is investigated with a Hygroscopicity Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer (HTDMA), under relative humidity (RH) below 100%. The aerosol systems were varied in their complexity and ranged from single-component to more complex systems (2, 3 and 4 components). The experimental data are compared with predictions from Zdanovskii-Stokes-Robinson (ZSR) mixing rule (Stokes and Robinson, 1966) and the thermodynamic model Aerosol Inorganic-Organic Mixtures Functional groups Activity Coefficients (AIOMFAC) (Zuend et al., 2011).

Size Distribution of Particles from Inhalers - Influence of Inspiratory Flow Rate and Humidity.
Ondráčková, Lucie ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Kozáková, Jana ; Ždímal, Vladimír
The purpose of this research was to determine the influence of inspiratory flow rate and relative humidity on particle size distributions (PSDs) generated by three MDI inhalers (Flutiform, Fullhale and Ventolin) and one DPI inhaler (Spiriva). Particle size distributions were measured by APS 3321 (TSI, USA) for three different inspiratory flow rates – 30, 60 and 90 l/min. Hygroscopicity of particles was determined by comparing data obtained at laboratory conditions and at relative humidity of 90%. During the measurements of number PSDs by using of APS spectrometer, we recorded bimodal distributions for Flutiform and Fullhale and monomodal distributions for Ventolin and DPI Spiriva. The increasing inspiratory flow rate had a negligible effect on the position of modes of individual distributions. The differences in PSD, measured under ambient conditions and at RH of 90%, were also minimal and did not significantly affect the assumed probability of drug deposition.

ACTRIS - Contribution of the Czech Republic: National and Central Facilities.
Ondráček, Jakub ; Holubová, Adéla ; Komínková, Kateřina ; Vítková, Gabriela ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Klánová, J. ; Holoubek, Ivan ; Váňa, M. ; Ždímal, Vladimír
ACTRIS (Aerosols, Clouds and Trace gases Research Infrastructure) is an initiative gathering partners all over Europe concentrating on high-quality observations of different atmospheric processes. ACTRIS aims to provide high quality open access data of aerosols, clouds and trace gases and to create a platform for researchers to combine their efforts in resolving the most important environmental challenges (such as air quality, health, climate change, etc.). It is a logical continuation of 15 years of development funded by both Member States and the European Commission through the Research Infrastructure programme (including EARLINET, EUSAAR, CREATE and Cloudnet). ACTRIS has become an important pan-European research infrastructure in 2016 by being accepted into ESFRI (The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure) Roadmap. Currently the ACTRIS is in the phase of becoming pan-European research infrastructure with its own legal entity and operational structure, being supported by two EU projects (ACTRIS-2 and ACTRIS PPP – Preparatory Phase Project).
