Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of atmospheric environment monitoring technology, specifically to an environmental precipitation wind tunnel for live cell microscopy imaging and its application in health risk assessment. Background Technology
[0002] A wind tunnel is a ground-based aerodynamic simulation device that generates and controls airflow based on similarity criteria to measure the gas flow patterns around a real object or model. Wind tunnels are often designed as tubular structures, with parameters such as airflow velocity, pressure, and temperature uniformly distributed across all cross-sections of the wind tunnel test section, making them one of the important research tools for observing flow phenomena in aerospace, mechanical, and other engineering fields.
[0003] Microorganisms, as an important component of aerosols, can be dispersed through the atmosphere. German scientists, using microscopic techniques to observe a 602μm × 505μm field of view, discovered that the flow-directed eddies of ciliate movement significantly increase the mixing effect, increasing the likelihood of microorganisms acquiring nutrients from the surrounding flow field. Under certain high-humidity natural environmental conditions, the fluid patterns around microorganisms are diverse, such as vortex rings, which significantly increase mass transfer and biofilm nutrition, making it an important aspect of aerosol risk research.
[0004] With the exacerbation of global climate and air pollution, environmental wind tunnels are playing a crucial role in researching the environmental hazards and health effects of aerosols, such as wet deposition and dynamic detection of leaks. Traditional closed-loop wind tunnels offer advantages such as wide measurement range, flow field visualization, and low construction and operating costs, enabling the observation of air pollutant flow characteristics. However, the limited length of wind tunnel test sections makes it difficult to replicate the actual conditions of microbial diffusion. This means that traditional wind tunnels struggle to simulate the long-distance diffusion characteristics of aerosols in real flow fields, particularly the diffusion distance, concentration distribution, trajectory, activity, and infection risk of pathogenic aerosols in precipitation environments. Furthermore, existing wind tunnel technology and equipment pay limited attention to the chemical and biochemical information of local microbial flow fields, restricting our understanding of the mechanisms of microbial diffusion in the air.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to design an environmental wind tunnel for live cell microscopy imaging, establish a three-dimensional visualization measurement method that is similar to the air microbial movement environment of key environmental factors such as precipitation and wind, and solve the flow field diagnosis of air bioaerosol diffusion and its application in population health risk assessment. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the existing technical problems, propose an environmental precipitation wind tunnel suitable for live cell microscopic imaging of airborne bioaerosols, and apply it to population health risk assessment.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: An environmental precipitation wind tunnel for live-cell microscopy imaging is proposed, characterized by comprising a precipitation section I, a mixing and stabilization section II, a diffusion and propagation section III, a test section IV, and a power section V. Precipitation in precipitation section I is simulated via a precipitation generation module, a snow-throwing wheel, a chamber, and a water supply and drainage system. Air passes through the mixing and stabilization section II, where a rectifier mesh is arranged, improving the flow field quality. It then passes through the diffusion pipe and nozzle of the diffusion and propagation section III, promoting the uniform diffusion and propagation of airborne bioaerosols. Air is then introduced into the test section IV, which specifically includes a stage, a live-cell microscopic observation lens, and a temperature control system. The test section has a drainage structure at the bottom and a temperature control plate at the top, facilitating the observation of various physical, chemical, and biological interactions between live cells.

After exposure risk assessment, the gas is discharged from the outlet.
[0035] This invention discloses a live-cell microscopic imaging environmental precipitation wind tunnel and its health risk assessment and application, characterized in that: bioaerosols in the air sequentially pass through one or more sections of the wind tunnel, including a precipitation section, a mixing and stabilization section, a diffusion and propagation section, a testing section, and a dynamic section, to conduct risk assessment and application following the steps of precipitation simulation, mixing and diffusion, and microscopic observation. The specific health risk assessment steps are characterized as follows:
[0036] S1, the precipitation simulation step, is a step that uses a precipitation generation module on a 3D-printed urban cluster model to simulate the processes of wind, rain, snow, and hail in a real environment, with precipitation ranging from 0.1 to 100 mm / m. 3 The wind speed is 0.1 to 51 m / s.
[0037] S2, the mixing and diffusion step, simulates biochemical reactions such as gene transfer in airborne microbial communities to observe the diffusion and propagation process of bioaerosols in precipitation environments in situ, and records process parameters such as cell apoptosis and proliferation. At a temperature setting of -20 to 60°C and a humidity setting of 0.1% RH to 99.9% RH, one or more combinations of DNA-binding dyes, TRITC Phalloidin, fungal fluorescent staining solutions, antifungal antibiotics, antifungal immunosuppressants, and nanoparticle drugs are atomized and sprayed into an online sealed device in a precipitation wind tunnel. These substances are fully mixed and reacted with bioaerosols and non-bioaerosols in the air, and then the air is stored in grid units and quantitatively delivered.
[0038] S3, the microscopic observation step, employs one or a combination of biological microscopy and laser particle imaging techniques, preferably using a fluorescence microscope or confocal microscope, a fluorescence probe, and a solid-state laser module. This measures the mass transfer rate of a small-scale local flow field surrounding the bioaerosol released from the source, with a flow field solution resolution of 0.001 μm to 5 mm. Subsequently, the laser emission path is perpendicular to the spectral collection path, and a detector is used to observe the resistance of colonized living cells and the spectral intensity of airborne bioaerosols in each grid cell. The number of bioaerosols passing through the observation path is counted, enabling automated monitoring of important parameters such as particle size, concentration, composition, activity, cell membrane receptors, and surface antigens of airborne bioaerosols in complex exposure scenarios. Combined with spectral fringe contrast, the precise location information of microorganisms is determined, completing the assessment of living cell migration behavior and exposure risk.
[0039] The present invention proposes an environmental precipitation wind tunnel based on live cell microscopy and its health risk assessment. This method is based on a simulation method of an environmental precipitation wind tunnel using live cell microscopy and can be applied to solve the problem of human exposure research on the spread of bioaerosols.
[0040] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0041] 1. By coupling precipitation spatial distribution numerical simulation technology, live cell imaging technology, microreactor technology and bioaerosol monitoring technology into wind tunnel experimental technology, the control of environmental rainfall and snowfall amount and frequency is accurate, the precipitation environment flow field solution has high resolution, and it is suitable for evaluating the state of live cells on the carrier, thus expanding the scenarios and applications of traditional wind tunnel environmental simulation.
[0042] 2. The present invention provides a health risk assessment method for a live cell microscopic imaging environmental precipitation wind tunnel, which records the three-dimensional migration path of pathogenic microbial communities by observing the effects of complex microphysical, chemical and biological conditions on live cells through microscopic observation, thus solving the problem of in-situ tracing and monitoring of live cell migration.
[0043] 3. It features intelligent data analysis, is simple and easy to use, and is suitable for assessing the risk of cell resistance gene transfer, drug resistance and sensitivity evaluation of conditionally pathogenic microbial communities under rain and snow conditions. It solves the problem of insufficient data on the transmission activities of infectious bacteria and provides new ideas and methods for health risk assessment in small-scale areas.

The wind tunnel is divided into five parts: precipitation section 6, mixing and stabilizing section 11, diffusion and propagation section 15, test section 17, and power section 22.

A Pitot tube monitored the airflow quality at the air inlet, with a wind speed of 1.5–1.7 m / s. A biosensor measured the concentration of *E. coli* in the air under no-snowfall and low, medium, and high snowfall conditions at 1 CFU / m³. 3 55 CFU / m 3 35 CFU / m 3 68 CFU / m 3 The bacterial counts were 100 dN / dh, 3200 dN / dh, 5100 dN / dh, and 2760 dN / dh. It was found that under moderate snowfall, the skin contact and respiratory exposure risks of the model were 2.95E-1 and 3.91E-5, respectively.
