[ 1 ] - Indoor Radon Measurement in Dwellings of Khorramabad City, Iran

Introduction: Exposure to indoor radon increases the risk of lung cancer. This study examined the level of indoor radon in dwellings of Khorramabad city, by using passive alpha-track detector (CR-39) during winter of 2016. Materials and Methods: In the present study, we detected the concentration of indoor radon in 56 dwellings. A passive sampling instrument (alpha-track detector with CR-39 pol...

[ 2 ] - سنجش نشانگر زیستی IL-6در هوای بازدمی با استفاده از دستگاه جمع‌آورنده میعانات بازدمی

Background and Objective: The collection of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a noninvasive, safe and simple technique to obtain direct samples from lung and use for estimation of the effects of air pollution on human subjects. EBC contains several compounds including simple ions, hydrogen peroxide, proteins, cytokines, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), creatine, Electrolytes, trace elements and to...

[ 3 ] - محتوای یونی و منابع انتشار احتمالی ذرات معلق هوای شهر تبریز در سال 93-92

Background and Objective: The present study was carried out to determine the amount and ionic characterization of TSP and PM10 aimed at identifying  the potential emission sources of particulates in the ambient air of Tabriz. Materials and Methods: TSP and PM10 samples were collected by two high volume samplers during September 2013 to August 2014. Water-soluble ions in particulate matter we...

[ 4 ] - Spatiotemporal trend of ambient air particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 and 10 μm and ozone in Tabriz city, Iran, during 2006–2017

Background and Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the long-term temporal trends and spatial variations of ambient PM10, PM2.5, O3, concentrations in Tabriz city during the years 2006-2017. Materials and Methods: Real-time hourly concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, O3 measured at nine air quality monitoring stations (AQMSs) were obtained from the Tabriz Department of Environment (TDo...
