Humans spend the majority of their time indoors, where they are potentially exposed to hazardous pollutants. Within this context, over past few years, there has been an upsurge low-cost sensors (LCS) for measurement indoor air pollutants, motivated both by recent technological advances and increased awareness quality (IAQ) its potential negative health impacts. Although not meeting performance requirements reference regulatory-equivalent monitoring LCS can provide informative measurements,...
Indoor environmental conditions (thermal, noise, light, and indoor air quality) may affect workers' comfort, consequently their health well-being, as well productivity. This study aimed to assess the relations between perceived environment occupants' examine modifying effects of both personal building characteristics. Within framework European project OFFICAIR, a questionnaire survey was administered 7441 workers in 167 "modern" office buildings eight countries (Finland, France, Greece,...
In the European research project OFFICAIR, a procedure was developed to determine associations between characteristics of offices and health comfort office workers, through checklist self-administered questionnaire including environmental, physiological, psychological, social aspects. This applied in 167 buildings eight countries (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Finland) during winter 2011-2012. About 26 735 survey invitation e-mails were sent, 7441 workers...
The aim of this study was to explore the association between building-related occupants' reported health symptoms and indoor pollutant concentrations in a sample 148 office rooms, within framework European OFFICAIR research project. A large field campaign performed 37 buildings among eight countries, which included (a) 5-day air sampling volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aldehydes, ozone, NO2 (b) collection information from 1299 participants regarding their personal characteristics...
Cleaning agents often emit terpenes that react rapidly with ozone. These ozone-initiated reactions, which occur in the gas-phase and on surfaces, produce a host of gaseous particulate oxygenated compounds possible adverse health effects eyes airways. Within European Union (EU) project OFFICAIR, common reaction products were measured before after replacement regular floor cleaning agent preselected low emitting four offices located EU countries. One reference office fifth country did not use...
The aim of this study was to identify determinants aldehyde and volatile organic compound (VOC) indoor air concentrations in a sample more than 140 office rooms, the framework European OFFICAIR research project. A large field campaign performed, which included (a) sampling aldehydes VOCs 37 newly built or recently retrofitted buildings across 8 countries summer winter (b) collection information on building offices' characteristics using checklists. Linear mixed models for repeated...
Ocular discomfort is a prevalent health complaint in offices. It hypothesized that, addition to individual and occupational factors, the buildings' indoor environment may affect eye complaints. However, insight potential building-related causal needed allow development of effective prevention strategies building design, operation maintenance limited. This study aimed investigate relations between modern office characteristics dry Comprehensive 167 buildings eight European countries, were...
Interest in studying leaching of toxic (in)organic contaminants such as antimony (Sb) and phthalate esters into drinking water increased because the ever growing market bottled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging material. Possible contamination sources contained PET bottles are hereby reviewed. Instrumental analytical methods suitable for Sb ester determination material also presented. Outcomes on grouped according to storage time, exposure heat/light, sample pH, bottle volume....
Present review discusses current trends in the gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) determination of sixteen organic UV filters belonging to classes i) benzophenones (BPs); and ii) salicylate benzoate esters added sunscreens due their excellent absorbing properties covering both UVA UVB ranges. Possibilities for identification quantitation with or without derivatization are, hereby, presented. Concerning derivatization, conditions application alkyl silylation...
For the first time, high energy VUV photons and generation of O3 by (V)UV lamps were applied together for removal active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from biologically treated wastewater (BTWW) in pilot-scale. The core pilot container unit was a photoreactor assembly consisting six photoreactors, each containing low-pressure Hg lamp (UV dose 1.2 J/cm2 6.6 at 185 nm 254 nm, respectively). BTWW irradiated (4.75 min residence time) light presence situ photochemically generated coolant air...
