摘要: Fly ash particles were collected from the precipitator of a power plant in Hong Kong and hemolytic activity respirable range (smaller than 10 micron) was studied using rat red blood cell assay system. It revealed that coal-fired fly had high which dose independent. The hemolysate changed to brownish-green. Chemical analyses, including scanning electron microscopy incorporated with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometry, diffractometry, showed considerable amount calcium salt coated surface particles. alkalinity initially damaged membrane then destroyed hemoglobin molecules released cells. This phenomenon only caused discrepancy if remained incubation medium taken into account for measurement
