the state of works of art exhibited inside museums can be strongly influenced by indoor air quality, due to chemical activity of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter. for that reason it is important to carry out periodic air quality controls to check if the concentration levels of air pollutants comply with the limits specified by the national laws. in this work we show results obtained i...

Introduction: Although epidemiological studies have reported an association between smoking and increases in tuberculosis the , relationship between indoor air pollution and risk of tuberculosis is not fully understood. A limited number of studies have suggested that smoking and indoor air pollution may play a role in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis. In this study, we investigated the effect o...

Indoor air pollution, specifically restricted in its meaning to chemicals in home indoor air environment, presents a new and probably an important challenge to the researchers of the air pollution field. The general overview of this topic suggests that the voluminous data generated in the past ten or so years have only defined the rudiments of the problem, and significant areas of research stil...

as surfactants enhance the membrane transport of organic compounds, it has to be assumed that they decisively influence the absorption of pollutants from house dust. sampling sites for the surfactant analysis include housing areas, each location of which has different surroundings such as rural, urban, construction, and industrial area. three stations had been selected for each housing area and...

Recently, indoor air quality has attracted the attention of policymakers and researchers as a critical issue like that of external air pollution. Indoor air quality is more important as people spend time longer indoors than outdoors. Indoor environments are closed compared to external environments providing less opportunity for the pollutants to dilute. The emissions contain many substances tha...

chronic bronchopulmonary disorders occurred in a large number of rustic females who used to bake bread at their dwellings under unhgyienic conditions. bronchoscopy revealed advanced pathological changes with characterised black areas infiltrating the bronchial walls. findings in ten patients who referred with acute chronic respiratory symptoms and a positive history of indoor pollution are desc...

This research paper is an attempt towards analyzing real time air pollution data collected by PAQS sensor devices from some key locations in Bangalore. Air pollution in most of the metropolitan cities in India is turning out to be a major threat to our environment and hazardous to our health. Many infections and diseases related to lungs and throat are caused by the polluted air we breathe. The...

background: there is conflicting reports on the respiratory health effects of indoor risk factor exposure. the aim of this study was to assess the association of indoor environmental factors to pulmonary function in an adult population in zunyi city of southwest china. methods: between july and sep 2012, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of people aged ≥18 yr in 11 inner-city areas of zunyi...
