Abstract

The 35th annual A&WMA Critical Review addresses the broad topic of nanoparticles and the environment. Complementing recent treatments of this topic in the literature, the review offers a broad overview of environmental origins, consequences, and applications of nanoparticles, or particles with diameters in the range of 1 to 50 or 100 nanometers. The four key elements discussed in the review are (1) sources of nanoparticles, (2) their control, (3) the application of nanoparticles in environmental and energy sectors, and (4) exposure and health effects. 18 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.

Southwest region of China is covered with mountains and plateaus vastly. Terrain and climate of this area is complex exceedingly. Many airports are plateau ones. All of these features make it difficult and high-risk to develop civil aviation. With the propelling of development of the west regions, more plateau airports and airlines will be built in the southwest. What was worse, more and more safe flights will make our nation's safety management face rigorous test. Firstly, this paper analyzed features of the southwest and accidents or incidents of this region recent ten years; Secondly, it indicated four inducements, including bird strike, crews, the mechanical and general aviation; Lastly, this paper built a grey incidence analysis model to analyze all kinds of inducement. This final result will tell us one inducement has badly affected safety of China's civil aviation, and some government or airline has to take some measures to prevent this kind of accident or incident.
