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 air quality in schools: exposure to fungal allergens
Estelle Levetin,Richard Shaughnessy,Eugene J. Fisher,Bryan K. Ligman,Jed Harrison,Terry Brennan +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined indoor air quality within schools in Kansas City, Spokane, Santa Fe, and Orlando and found that the indoor exposure levels varied significantly during the day and between classrooms within each school.

Real-time particle monitor calibration factors and PM2.5 emission factors for multiple indoor sources
Philip J. Dacunto,Kai-Chung Cheng,Kai-Chung Cheng,Viviana Acevedo-Bolton,Ruo-Ting Jiang,Neil E. Klepeis,Neil E. Klepeis,James Repace,Wayne R. Ott,Lynn M. Hildemann +9 more
TL;DR: Calibration factors for combined sources (e.g., cooking and cigarette emissions mixed) were linear combinations of the CFs of the component sources, and the highest PM2.5 emission factors per time period were from burned foods and fireplaces and the lowest from cooking foods such as pizza and ground beef.

Indoor-outdoor air pollution relations: particulate matter less than 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) in homes of asthmatics
TL;DR: In this article, a pilot investigation was conducted in 10 homes, 9 with resident asthmatics, in southern California, using PM10 and cyclone samplers inside and outside of each home with particle collection of Teflon filters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indoor air pollution by different heating systems: coal burning, open fireplace and central heating.
TL;DR: Generally, the concentrations of carbon monoxide, sedimented dust and of some heavy metals were higher than in homes with central heating, but in one case, high indoor air pollution was found in a home withcentral heating.

Relationships between personal, indoor, and outdoor exposures to trace elements in PM2.5
John L. Adgate,Steven J. Mongin,Gregory C. Pratt,Junfeng Zhang,M. Paul Field,Gurumurthy Ramachandran,Ken Sexton +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that community and season are important covariates for developing long term TE exposure estimates, and that personal exposure to trace elements in PM(2.5) is likely to be underestimated by outdoor central site monitors.
