Professor Tong Zhu (PKU) 朱彤教授（北京大学）

ENGLISH / CHINESE

Hosted by QUT, January-February 2016

Professor Tong Zhu from the Peking University (PKU) visited the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) from the 25th January to the 12th February 2016 in Brisbane, Australia. The visit was supported by the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation at QUT. Professor Zhu is a member of the Board of the ACC–AQSM, and also a Co- Leader of the Centre’s Theme 3: Exposure & Health Effects. This Theme has identified nine different projects and the aim of Professor Zhu’s visiZhuTongKG_SMLt was to further develop the concepts of three of these projects, establish their design structures, and undertake actions to initiate the first stages of the projects, including all the relevant researchers and organisations within the Centre.

During his visit, Professor Zhu gave two seminars at QUT:

1.   “The Health Effects of Air Pollution in China: Scientific Challenges and Policy Implications” on the 3 February 2016, at the School of Public Health; and

2.   “Air Pollution in China: Scientific Challenges and Policy Implication” on the 4 February 2016, at Institute for Health and Biomedical Innovation.

The visit led to an exciting new collaborative project on children personal exposure between the PKU, QUT and the Sun Yat-Sen University (SYSU) in Guangzhou, China. The design of a new collaborative project on children personal exposure was discussed, as well as its implementation. The project involved research between the QUT, PKU and ZhuTongGP_SMLthe Sun Yat-Sen University (SYSU) in Guangzhou, China (in collaboration with Professor Zhu). Professor  Lidia Morawska and Dr. Mandana Mazaheri (QUT) provided research support and instrumentation for personal particle exposure monitoring for school children, which was an extension of an already existing research by Associate Professor Weiwei Lin at SYSU, taking advantage of an existing cohort of children. Dr. Mazaheri travelled to China and worked with Associate Professor Lin between the 14th – 22nd April 2016 and provided training for this research and commenced the data collection at the schools in China. Data collection was completed in April 2016 and analysis is still in progress, which will result in at least one journal publication. Further collaborative research has been discussed between QUT, SYSU and Jinan University.

The project, Multi-city comparison of airborne particulate matter matrices and factors driving them, was also discussed and designed to quantitatively compare concentrations of PM2.5 and Particle Number (PN), as well as their uncertainties across cities in Europe, US, China and Australia. This analysis will allow identifying factors driving the concentrations (such as size of the city, topography, meteorology or vehicle fleet), and in turn the impact they have on human exposure, and the ability to predict it.

Publications Outcomes (papers in preparation):

1.   A pilot study of school children’s personal exposure to ultrafine particle in a rural village in Guangdong province, China. Mandana Mazaheri (QUT), Lidia Morawska (QUT), Tong Zhu (PKU), Weiwei Lin (SYSU).

3.   Review: Particulate matter concentration over China and its impacts on the short term meteorological parameters.  Shuxiao Wang (TU), Lidia Morawska (QUT), Mei Zheng (PKU)

4.   Review: Review: Short-term interactive effects between air pollutants and temperature on mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Qiyong Liu (CCDC),* Jing Li (CCDC), Alistair J. Woodward (U of Auckland), Xiang-Yu (Janet) Hou (QUT), Tong Zhu (PKU), Jinlang Zhang (CRAES), Helen Brown (CU), Rennie Qin (U of Auckland), Jun Yang (CCDC), Jinghong Gao (CCDC), Jing Li (CCDC)

朱彤教授（北京大学）

2016年1月-2月，受昆士兰科技大学邀请

来自北京大学的朱彤教授于2016年1月25日至2月12日在澳大利亚布里斯班访问了昆士兰科技大学（QUT）。 这次访问得到了卫生和生物医学创新研究所的支持。 朱教授是ACC-AQSM董事会成员，也是中心主题3：曝光和健康影响的联合主任。 这个主题确定了九个不同的项目，朱教授访问旨在进一步发展这三个项目的概念，建立其设计结构，并启动项目的第一阶段，包括所有相关的研究人员和中心组织 。

访问期间，朱教授在昆士兰科技大学举行了两次研讨会：

  1. 2016年2月3日在公共卫生学院的“中国空气污染的健康影响：科学挑战和政策意义”
  2. 2016年2月4日，卫生与生物医学创新研究所“中国空气污染：科学挑战和政策意义”。

这次访问促成了一项新的令人兴奋的合作项目，儿童个体暴露，由北京大学，昆士兰科技大学和中国广州的中山大学合作。本次访问讨论了关于儿童个体暴露的合作项目的设计及其实施。该项目涉及昆士兰科技大学，北京大学和中国广州的中山大学（与朱教授合作）的研究。Lidia Morawska教授和Mandana Mazaheri教授（QUT）为学生个体颗粒暴露监测提供了研究支持和仪器，该项研究是中山大学副教授林伟伟现有研究的延伸，采用现有的儿童群体。 Mazaheri博士前往中国，并于2016年4月14日至22日与林副教授合作，为这项研究提供培训，并开始在中国学校收集数据。数据收集工作于2016年4月完成，分析工作仍在进行中，将至少发表至一份期刊。进一步的合作研究已经在昆士兰科技大学，中山大学和暨南大学之间展开。

该项目还对空气悬浮颗粒物基质的多城市比较及其驱动因素进行了讨论和设计，以定量比较PM2.5和颗粒数（PN）的浓度及其在欧洲，美国，中国和澳大利亚城市的不确定性。这种分析将允许识别驱动浓度（例如城市，地形，气象或车流量）的因素，进而影响它们对人类暴露的影响，以及预测它们的能力。

出版成果（正在准备中的论文）：

  1. 中国广东省农村儿童个人暴露于超细颗粒的试点研究。 Mandana Mazaheri（QUT），Lidia Morawska（QUT），（PKU），林伟伟（SYSU）。
