由于工业场所的重大火灾，公众暴露于显著升高的颗粒物（PM）水平是一个世界性的问题。我们的论文介绍了英国如何开发其空气质量在重大事故（AQinMI）服务，提供火灾排放羽流浓度数据，供管理人员在事件发生时使用，并允许知情的公共卫生响应。这是世界上最早的民用服务之一。基于参与的几个作者在AQinMI服务，我们描述了服务的功能，详细的服务所涵盖的火灾的性质，并首次报告的PM的浓度范围，人口可能会暴露在重大事故火灾。我们还考虑了短期暴露于显著升高的PM浓度对人类健康的影响，并反映了当前短期指导值在提供公共卫生建议方面的适当性。我们分析了空气中悬浮粒子的监测数据（
Public exposure to significantly elevated levels of particulate matter (PM) as a result of major fires at industrial sites is a worldwide problem. Our paper describes how the United Kingdom developed its Air Quality in Major Incidents (AQinMI) service to provide fire emission plume concentration data for use by managers at the time of the incident and to allow an informed public health response. It is one of the first civilian services of its type anywhere in the world. Based on the involvement of several of the authors in the AQinMI service, we describe the service's function, detail the nature of fires covered by the service, and report for the first time on the concentration ranges of PM to which populations may be exposed in major incident fires. We also consider the human health impacts of short-term exposure to significantly elevated PM concentrations and reflect on the appropriateness of current short-term guideline values in providing public health advice. We have analysed monitoring data for airborne PM (
