Impact of PM2.5 in indoor urban environments: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the impact of PM2.5 in indoor urban environments summarizes existing research in this area, specifically, the main sources and sinks in outdoor and indoor environments, the exposure limits that are currently applicable throughout the world, and the main socioeconomic impacts of exposure to PM 2.5.

Characteristics of public concern on haze in China and its relationship with air quality in urban areas
TL;DR: This study will help policy makers to better understand the patterns of the public's perception of environmental problems and consequently improve the government's capability to deal with these challenges.

Effect of ventilation strategies and air purifiers on the children's exposure to airborne particles and gaseous pollutants in school gyms.
Antonio Pacitto,Fulvio Amato,Teresa Moreno,Marco Pandolfi,Ana C. Fonseca,Mandana Mazaheri,Luca Stabile,Giorgio Buonanno,Xavier Querol +8 more
TL;DR: The study revealed that the use of air purifiers with windows kept closed (natural ventilation) can lead to a significant reduction in terms of indoor-to-outdoor concentration ratios, and for low ACH values, the reduction is quite negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indoor PM2.5 concentrations in residential buildings during a severely polluted winter: A case study in Tianjin, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of infiltration and indoor pollution on the level of PM2.5 in residential buildings, using a DustTrak II aerosol monitor, measuring in a typical residential building in Tianjin with different openings to the external environment.

Association between respiratory health and indoor air pollution exposure in Canakkale, Turkey
Sibel Mentese,Nihal Arzu Mirici,Müşerref Tatman Otkun,Coşkun Bakar,Elif Palaz,Deniz Tasdibi,Sibel Cevizci,Osman Cotuker +7 more
TL;DR: Negative associations between asthma and FEV1/FVC ratio, and between respiratory symptom score (RSS) and FEVs, support the idea that the PF test can be a good indicator for (early) prognosis of respiratory diseases.

Indoor / outdoor relationships of particulate matter in domestic homes with roadside, urban and rural locations
TL;DR: In this article, TEOM data were used in conjunction with information gained from activity diaries completed by occupants to identify the sources of episodic elevated particle concentrations within the home, while the results indicated an important background contribution to indoor particulate matter from penetration of outdoor particles, indoor sources such as cooking, smoking, cleaning and general activity contributed substantially to indoor concentrations of PM10 and were the dominant source of episodesodic peaks in PM10.

Indoor and outdoor air quality investigation at schools in Hong Kong.
Shuncheng Lee,M. Chang +1 more
TL;DR: The two most important classroom air quality problems in Hong Kong were PM10 and CO2 levels, and the average respirable particulate matter concentrations were higher than the HK Objective and the maximum indoor PM10 level exceeded 1000 microg/m3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial and fungal aerosol in indoor environment in Upper Silesia, Poland
TL;DR: Comparison of the respirable fraction of airborne bacteria and fungi with literature data suggests that the percentage of respirable fungi and bacteria is generally not dependent on the type of home, building material, geographical factors and particulate air pollution.

Chronic respiratory symptoms in children and adults living along streets with high traffic density.
TL;DR: It is suggested that living along busy streets increases the risk of developing chronic respiratory symptoms in children and only mild dyspnoea was more often reported by subjects living along streets with high traffic density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of quantitative standards and guidelines for fungi in indoor air
TL;DR: Urgent research needs include the study of human responses to specific fungal agents, development and widespread use of standard protocols using currently available sampling methodologies, and the development of long term, time-discriminating personal samplers that are inexpensive, easy to use, and amenable to straightforward, relevant analysis.
