Photocatalysis with modified titania is a promising approach to improve both air and health quality. Modified novel photocatalytic properties under indoor light irradiation leads smart coatings, which are benchmark materials suitable for their applications. It generally accepted that the activity affected by absorption, charge creation/recombination rate surface reactivity. In this contribution we focus on TiO2 as catalyst in heterogeneous photo-catalytic processes address efficiency of...
A series of smog chamber experiments have been conducted in which five cyclic monoterpenes were oxidized by ozone. The evolved secondary aerosol was analyzed GC-MS and HPLC-MS for nonvolatile polar oxidation products with emphasis on the identification carboxylic acids. Three classes compounds determined at concentration levels corresponding to low percentage molar yields: i.e. dicarboxylic acids, oxocarboxylic hydroxyketocarboxylic Carboxylic acids are highly lower vapor pressures than...
The ozonolytic decomposition of terpenes and terpenoids during sampling on Tenax is investigated in an artificial air system at ambient concentration levels. detrimental effect 8−150 ppbv ozone depends the chemical structure compounds: saturated such as 1,8-cineole, camphor, bornyl acetate are unaffected by ozone. which containing one C−C double bond slightly decomposed order camphene < β-pinene ≈ myrtenal α-pinene sabinene citronellal. compounds two or more bonds significantly d-limonene...
The prevalence of allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases in large populations has increased recent decades. Among factors, this phenomenon been connected to adverse health effects air pollution. Although some causal links between occupational exposures their are shown, still little is known about the risks lifelong exposure indoor pollutants. To assess pollutants at prevailing concentration levels Europe, Joint Research Centre European Commission carried out a project called...
A growing number of studies indicate the significance short-term exposures to airborne particulate matter, such as those occurring in a vehicle cabin. In this study, PM10, PM2.5, PM1 concentrations were measured using optical particle counters eighteen tobacco smoke-free private cars movement. The average 48.6 µg/m3, 26.9 µg/m3 and 22.6 for PM2.5 PM1, respectively. These levels found depend directly on ambient air PM concentration choice ventilation used inside cars. particles with diameter...
Under the CONECOFOR programme, allied to UE and UN-ECE programme on forests (ICP Forests), chemistry of open field, throughfall stemflow deposition was measured in 15 permanent plots over a two year period. Characteristics plots, sampling methods, treatment analyses are strict agreement with those adopted European programme. The representative different geographical conditions, from Mediterranean area southern Alpine environment. Results show highest amount ion related anthropogenic...
