Product Description
Urban schools are mostly located in close proximityto heavy traffic-density roadways, which may leadtheir indoor environment to experience significantconcentrations of outdoor pollutants.Besides,schools have complex indoor environment influencedby number and age of children belongs to sensitivegroup of population and to various otherenvironmental factors. The exposure to variouscontaminants in such indoor environments may leadchildren to develop potential health consequences. Therefore, understanding the dispersion ofpollutants in such indoor environment is important.The aim of this book is to evaluate the IAQ in suchurban schools. The pollutant concentration, viz.SPM, RSPM, CO, SO2, NOx as NO2, ventilation, indooractivities of occupants, micrometeorology (e.g. windspeed and direction, indoor/outdoor temperature andrH) and traffic conditions (e.g. traffic volume andtype) are considered as associated influencingparameters for IAQ evaluation. It also includesdevelopment of the mass-balance based IAQ models forPM10, PM2.5 and PM1.0, to compare the modeled indoorPM concentration with observed ones. ... Read more

Description:
In Hong Kong, the Environmental Protection Department (HKEPD) has launched an indoor air quality (IAQ) certification scheme to promote an acceptable IAQ in workplaces. However, the associated uncertainties and measurement efforts have not been detailed for practical measurement in indoor spaces. In this study, indoor carbon dioxide (CO"2) concentration is selected as an indicator of the IAQ to investigate the probable errors and measurement efforts in different sampling schemes regarding the sampling point density. In particular, a one-year measurement for sample-spatial average indoor CO"2 concentration at 17 sampling locations in a typical large office (floor area=1200m^2) has been used to evaluate the probable errors of the sample-spatial average concentrations using different sampling point densities. The result shows that the measured concentration at a single sampling point could not be representative for the space and more than one sampling locations would be required in order to increase the measurement accuracy. Mathematical expressions for the sample-spatial average concentration at a confidence level at certain sampling point densities are proposed. When doubled the required measurement points, it was found that the probability of obtaining a measured CO"2 concentration at the confidence level of 95% could be increased from 70% to 90%, as compared with the current sampling practice. It is recommended to specify the measurement uncertainties in future codes so that effort for IAQ measurements in indoor spaces could be determined for practical strategies. ... Read more

Description:
An air quality study was conducted in arid-region residences that were cleaned and reoccupied following a major regional flood (Arkansas River, Colorado, USA). This demonstration study leveraged a suite of aerosol measurements to assess the effects of common flood reclamation practices on indoor air quality. These assays included (i) optical counting (OPC) of airborne particulate matter (0.3-5@mm optical diameter), (ii) composite observations of volatile organic compounds (VOC), (iii) culturing and direct microscopic counts of airborne bacteria and fungi, and (iv) air-exchange rate measurements. As judged by OPC, most of the flood damaged homes surveyed had higher concentrations of airborne particulate matter indoors than outdoors; the same trend was observed for selected VOC. When compared to large literature databases, culturing from air samples collected in houses reclaimed from flood damage had significantly higher airborne microorganism levels than in houses where no flood damage had occurred-in many cases this difference was between two and three orders of magnitude. As determined by direct epifluorescence microscopy, total airborne microorganism concentrations were 3-1000 times higher than those recovered by conventional culturing. In flood damaged homes, biological particles averaged 52% of the total particles measured indoors, and 18% of the total particles measured immediately outdoors. Relative differences between the indoor and outdoor concentrations of airborne particulate matter, microorganisms, and associated VOCs, suggested that flood-impacted building materials were sustaining high aerosol bioburdens and contributing to poor indoor air quality more than 3 months after the structures had been reclaimed from flood damage. ...
