摘      要：Air pollution monitoring is one of the most important features in contamination risk *** is because many of the compounds contained within air pollution present a serious risk both for the preservation of open air cultural heritage and for human *** particle formation is a major contributor to urban pollution,but how it occurs in cities is often *** more and more people enjoy an increased quality of life through outdoor activity,managing outdoor air quality is *** study presents the application of a low-cost system for monitoring the current level of road traffic passengers’exposure to particulate air *** global rise in tourism also leads to apprehension about its probable destructive influence on various aspects of global *** of the major risks encountered by tourists,stemming from modes of transport,are nanoparticles(NPs)(100 nm)and ultra-fine particles(UFPs)(100-1000 nm)consisting of potentially hazardous elements(PHEs).This study examines Steen Castle,a medieval fortress located in Antwerp,*** NPs with PHEs,were found in the air sampled in this *** self-made passive sampler(LSPS)described in this study,consisting of retainers specially designed for advanced microscopic analysis,is used for the first time as a simple way to characterize the surrounding atmospheric contamination caused by NPs and UFPs,without the need of other commonly employed more expensive particulate focused active samplers such as cascade *** study aims to assess the result of the utilization of a low-cost,LSPS,to determine outdoor NPs and UFPs in a Belgian urban(Steen Castle)and rural area(Fort van Schoten).This work is the first to detail the usefulness of LSPS for the evaluation of Belgium’s outdoor air for NPs and UFPs,which contain PHEs.
