We investigated 10 naturally ventilated schools in Shanghai, winter. Pupils (13-14 years) 30 classes received a questionnaire, 1414 participated (99%). Classroom temperatures were 13-21 degrees C (mean 17 C), relative air humidity was 36-82% 56%). The exchange rate 2.9-29.4 ac/h 9.1), because of window opening. Mean CO2 exceeded 1000 ppm 45% the classrooms. NO2 levels 33-85 microg/m3 indoors, and 45-80 outdoors. Ozone 1-9 indoors 17-28 In total, 8.9% had doctors' diagnosed asthma, 3.1%...
There are few studies on associations between children's respiratory heath and air pollution in schools China. The industrial development increased traffic may affect the indoor exposure to pollutants school environment. Moreover, there is a need study effects of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) emissions from new building materials homes
In November 2010, ≈27,000 (≈45%) inhabitants of Östersund, Sweden, were affected by a waterborne outbreak cryptosporidiosis. The was characterized rapid onset and high attack rate, especially among young middle-aged persons. Young age, number infected family members, amount water consumed daily, gluten intolerance identified as risk factors for acquiring Also, chronic intestinal disease age significantly associated with prolonged diarrhea. Identification Cryptosporidium hominis subtype...
An overview is given of all results from the International Co-operative Programme on Effects Materials including Historic and Cultural Monuments (ICP Materials), which was launched in 1985. Since then, about twenty different materials have been exposed repeatedly a network test sites consisting more than with an extensive environmental characterisation sixty official reports issued. Recent trends corrosion, soiling, pollution show that corrosion carbon steel, zinc, limestone today...
PM10 concentrations exceed the guidelines in some Swedish cities and limit values will likely be further reduced future. In order to gain more knowledge of emission factors for road traffic PM2.5, existing monitoring stations two cities, Gothenburg Umeå, with international E-road thoroughfares, were complemented PM2.5 measurements. Emission estimated using NOX as a tracer. Monitoring data from kerbside urban background sites during 2006–2010 Umeå 2006–2012 used. emissions flow calculated...
Existing studies of the composition volcanic plumes generally interpret presence sulfate aerosol as result comparatively slow oxidation gaseous SO 2 . We report here new observations from Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua, which demonstrate that may also be emitted directly vents. Simultaneous and S, Cl, F compounds were collected at rim passively degassing crater in May 2001. Mean concentrations 4 2− , Cl − within plume 83, 1.2, 0.37 μg m −3 respectively (fine fraction <2.5 μm) 16, 2.5, 0.56...
Abstract. In the frame of European project, entitled MULTI-ASSESS, specimens structural metals, glass, stone and concrete materials were exposed to air pollution at a station, which was installed for this purpose on building, located in centre Athens. The main project determine corrosion soiling effects materials. A set position that sheltered from rain partly wind, another unsheltered positions roof above said building. addition, other different heights same order investigate first time...
Abstract. For a long time, scientists have been concerned about the effects of air pollution on materials and especially monuments cultural heritage. The EU funded project, entitled MULTI-ASSESS, to determine these develop dose-response functions appropriate for new multi-pollutant environment. University Athens participated in this effort as targeted field exposure test site. In present paper, measurements passive samplers, which were exposed during same period with samples corrosion...
There are few studies about school-environment in relation to pupils' respiratory health, and Korean has not been characterized. All pupils 4th grade 12 selected schools three urban cities Korea received a questionnaire (n = 2,453), 96% participated. Gaseous pollutants ultrafine particles (UFPs) were measured indoors 34) outdoors 12) during winter, 2004. Indoor dampness at home was investigated by the questionnaire. To evaluate associations between health environment, multiple logistic-...
This paper reports the use of diffusive tubes in determining HF, HCl, and SO 2 volcanic plume Mount Etna an attempt to highlight potential this method studying volcanoes. In a first application network 18 was installed on Etna's flanks, aimed at evaluating atmospheric dispersion local scale. Results showed monotonic decrease volatile air concentrations with distance from craters (HF 0.15 <0.003 μmol m −3 , HCl <0.01 11 0.04 ), revealing prevalently contribution. Matching /HCl HCl/HF...
