متن کاملof Environmental Quality ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF BIOCHAR
Understanding and improving environmental quality by reducing soil nutrient leaching losses, reducing bioavailability of environmental contaminants, sequestering C, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing crop productivity in highly weathered or degraded soils, has been the goal of agroecosystem researchers and producers for years. Biochar, produced by pyrolysis of biomass, may help at...
متن کاملvariation of indoor air quality in a new apartment building by bake-out
bake-out was executed against the newly constructed apartment buildings using two methods to find out the effect of improvement on the indoor air quality and identify the concentration changes in the indoor air by the bake-out method for 3 months after occupancy. from two methods of bake-out executed before occupying, we did not find any reduction effect on the hazardous substances in the indoo...
متن کاملIndoor Environmental Quality in Mechanically Ventilated, Energy-Efficient Buildings vs. Conventional Buildings
Energy-efficient buildings need mechanical ventilation. However, there are concerns that inadequate mechanical ventilation may lead to impaired indoor air quality. Using a semi-experimental field study, we investigated if exposure of occupants of two types of buildings (mechanical vs. natural ventilation) differs with regard to indoor air pollutants and climate factors. We investigated living a...
