Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a simulation device, in particular to a simulation device for changes in atmospheric metal element particles. Background Art

[0002] Heavy metals in atmospheric particulate matter are extremely harmful to the human body. Studying the chemical composition of atmospheric particulate matter, particularly the sources and concentrations of potentially harmful metal elements, is of great significance for understanding the relationship between air pollution and human health. Currently, monitoring of metal elements in atmospheric particulate matter primarily relies on a combination of manual sampling and laboratory analysis. Continuous online monitoring of atmospheric metal elements is mostly based on X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). While this method can measure most metal elements (30), requires no sample pretreatment, and is relatively fast, it requires an enrichment time of at least 25-30 minutes, and sample uniformity significantly impacts data precision. The sensitivity and dynamic range of these online atmospheric metal analyzers are insufficient to meet the needs of national scientific research and environmental regulation. Developing technologies that overcome these bottlenecks in online atmospheric metal analysis is crucial for comprehensively monitoring the types and concentrations of atmospheric metal elements, comprehensively analyzing pollution sources, and strengthening atmospheric metal pollution monitoring and prevention.
