TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the levels and the element composition of PM2.5 in three primary schools placed in Lisbon, in order to assess the children exposure to these pollutants and investigate the sources of high aerosols concentrations in classrooms.

TL;DR: In this paper, a passive sampling methodology was applied to collect particulate matter (PM) in classrooms of urban and rural primary schools in order to measure its soluble ions content and elemental composition.

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical treatment was conducted over a database of indoor air parameters and the primary schools where these parameters were sampled (urban area of Lisbon, Portugal), and the aim of this study was to assess the associations between indoor air indicators with the schools' building characteristics, through the use of statistical methods.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of chemical concentrations inside and outside of a Lisbon (Portugal) traffic tunnel were compared, during one week, during instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA).

TL;DR: Assessment of the influence of atmospheric pollutants over the hospital admissions in Lisbon showed significant positive associations between the pollutants CO, NO, NO2, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5 and circulatory diseases for ages between 15 and 64 years and above.
