花粉雷击后形态和特征变化及其对雷暴哮喘的解释应用

Morphological and Characteristic Changes of Pollen After Lightning Strikes and Its Application to Thunderstorm Asthma

  • 摘要: 雷暴哮喘是雷暴天气引发的一种呼吸系统过敏性疾病,是世界性的天气气候相关健康事件。雷暴哮喘机理不明,已有环境湿度增大的猜想不能解释无雷暴活动的阴雨天气未引发哮喘的对比事实;雷电放电花粉爆裂的猜想缺乏依据和试验验证。为此,设计可悬浮花粉的雷击模拟试验与观测装置,开展花粉模拟雷击试验和变量分析,通过高速摄像、扫描电子显微镜和能量散射谱观测,分析花粉遭受放电后的形态和特征变化。发现花粉遭受雷击放电时有臭氧生成和净电荷残留,雷击后花粉颗粒尺寸变小且形状不规则度增大,花粉壁破损和裂口增多,内部物质暴露且碳、氧元素增加。研究发现的花粉遭雷击后形态和特征变化有助于认识雷暴哮喘问题。

     

    Abstract: Thunderstorm asthma is a respiratory allergic disease triggered by thunderstorms, which is a global climate-related health event. While its mechanism of thunderstorm asthma is not clear but mainly understood by conjectures up to date. One conjecture emphasizes the increased environmental humidity as a motivation. However, it cannot explain the fact that asthma is not significantly triggered on rainy days without lightning activities. The conjecture that pollen explodes due to lightning discharges lacks experimental verification. To this end, a simulation experiment for suspended pollens struck by lightning was designed with an observation system. Simulated lightning strike tests were carried out with pollens suspended in dry and wet conditions. Through the high-speed photography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) measurements, the morphological and characteristic changes of pollens were analyzed after being exposed to lightning discharges. It is found that when pollens are struck by lightning, the ozone and net charges are generated. The particle sizes of pollens decrease, and the surface shapes become irregular. Pollen's wall is penetrated, and the internal substances are exposed. Additionally, carbon and oxygen elements increase on pollen surface after lightning strikes. These findings contribute to understanding the allergenic after struck by lightning in thunder day.
