摘要：
As a newly emerging persistent environmental contaminant, perchlorate (ClO4−) has adverse effects on thyroid function by inhibiting iodide uptake and could result in neurodevelopment deficits. Our study was performed to investigate the concentration of perchlorate in size-segregated airborne particulate matter (APM) and evaluate its human exposure for children and adults. In this study, 45 size-segregated APM samples were collected from Changsha, China, during July 20 to July 31, 2016. The total APM concentrations ranged from 93.367 to 253.271 μg/m3 (mean 154.651 ± 59.175 μg/m3), and a bimodal size distribution was observed during the sampling period. The concentrations of perchlorate in size-segregated APM were in the range of 0.05–4.99 ng/m3 (mean 2.03 ng/m3). Exposure evaluation indicated that the ingestion was the predominant exposure pathway for daily intake of perchlorate via size-segregated APM, and children are more likely to intake more perchlorate via APM than adults. We suggested that the risk of exposure to perchlorate for children is worthy of attention, and a further study is required, especially for seasonal variations.
