Introduction and Background Recent trends in today’s office environment make it increasingly more difficult for conventional centralized HVAC systems to satisfy the environmental preferences of individual office workers using the standardized approach of providing a single uniform thermal and ventilation environment. Since its original introduction in West Germany during the 1950s, the open pla...

Telework has been proposed as a possible remedy to traffic and air pollution problems. This paper presents a model of telework’s direct air pollution implications by quantifying personal and public transportation, office and home electronic equipment use, lighting, heating and cooling effects. An example scenario is created based on data from the National Telework Survey to assess the environme...

This study addresses emissions from office equipment with a literature review and measurements from two phases of controlled chamber experiments. Phase I experiments screened for the types of pollutants emitted from five classes of computers and printers placed in a 20 cubic meter stainless steel chamber. Phase II experiments measured volatile organic compounds, low‐molecular‐weight aldehydes, ...

Enclosed cab filtration systems are typically used on mobile mining equipment to reduce miners' exposure to airborne dust generated during mining operations. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Office of Mine Safety and Health Research (OMSHR) has recently worked with a mining equipment manufacturer to examine a new cab filtration system design for underground indu...

The program responds to the mandate of the Justice System Improvement Act of 1979, which created NIJ and directed it to encourage research and development to improve the criminal justice system and to disseminate the results to Federal, State, and local agencies. The Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is an applied research effort that determines the technological nee...

The report describes development and evaluation of a large chamber test method for measuring emissions from dry-process photocopiers. Application of the test method will lead to a better understanding of emissions from office equipment and to the development of lower emitting machines. Challenges and complications encountered in developing and implementing the test method include: heat generati...
