    Objective Analysis of the concentrations of radon, radon progeny and PM2.5 in the sunlight greenhouse. Methods The concentrations of radon, radon progeny and PM2.5 in three sunlight greenhouses in Beijing area were measured by radon and progeny measurement instrument, electret detector and particle concentration measurement instrument. Results The results showed the average radon concentration CRn was (135±41.9) Bq/m3,(43.1±8.9) Bq/m3 and (45.5±15.9) Bq/m3(n=12,28.1~169 Bq/m3). Indoor PM 2.5 concentration range was from 28~248 μg/m3. Conclusion Radon progeny concentration Cp was significantly correlated with PM 2.5 concentrations indoor and outdoor. The fog and haze weather cause Cp increased in the air, then F value increased. The mean F value in sunlight greenhouse and the control room was 0.62±0.13(n=24,0.42~0.94) and (0.61±0.16) (n=22,0.36~0.94), it is significantly higher than the 0.40 typical values of the world.

    Objective To investigate the protective effect of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles on mice induced by γ-rays. Methods 140 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal control group, irradiation control group, positive control group treated with amifostine, low dose group treated with 100 mg/kg of CeO2 nanoparticles, medium dose group treated with 300 mg/kg of CeO2 nanoparticles and high dose treated with 900 mg/kg of CeO2 nanoparticles. Mice were induced by 3.5 Gy of 60 Co and dose rate was 1 Gy/min. Mice were sacrificed three days and eight days after irradiation, spleen and thymus index, micronucleus rate of bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes were examined as well as blood serum SOD and actin cytoskeleton in thymus lymphocytoplasm eight days after irradiation. Results Three days after the irradiation, compared with the irradiation control group, the thymus index significantly increased in medium dose and high dose group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), it's better than that of positive control group. The spleen index increased with the increase of dose of CeO2 nanoparticles, but the difference was not statistically significant. Micronucleus rate of bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes decreased in each CeO2 nanoparticles administration group, and the significant difference was found in low dose group (P<0.05), it's better than that of positive control group. Eight days after the irradiation, compared with the irradiation control group, Micronucleus rate of bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes in CeO2 nanoparticles administration groups decreased. Compared with the irradiation control group, in CeO2 nanoparticles medium dose group, there was a tendency of increase of blood serum SOD activity, but the difference was not statistically significant, and actin cytoskeleton was more clear and complete. Conclusion CeO2 nanoparticles have a certain anti-radiation activity, it may be related to the immune capacity improvement and the hematopoietic tissues protection from the damage induced by radiation.

    Objective Purpose of the research. To study the effect of pH value and; Fe3+,Mn2+ on the properties of uranyl ion fluorescence. Methods Using ultraviolet fluorescence method of measuring trace uranium in samples of liquid. Results The standard addition method has no obvious influence to measure the concentration of uranium when the pH value at about 3~10. The optimal conditions for uranium determination is the pH value about 6.It cannot be measured when pH value is about 13.; Fe3+,Mn2+ play negative interference on uranium determination, they can absorb exciting light and quenched the fluorescence of uranyl cations.The fluorescence intensity is decreased on the condition that the concentration of; Fe3+ is 10μg/mL or Mn2+ is 0.1μg/mL.The negative interference can be reduced by pretreated method or dilution of sample solution. Conclusion Standard addition measurement method should try to control the pH value between 3~10;; Fe3+,Mn2+ complexes formed with fluorescent enhancers will absorb UV-light, negatively affecting the measurement of uranium. When the sample of uranium measured concentrations exceeding the high range measurement result, it is not an accurate result.
