Control of Respirable Particles in Indoor Air with Portable Negative Air Ion Generator
نویسنده
چکیده
Portable negative air ion generator has been designed and tested. This device generates continuous emission of unipolar (negative) ions and it was evaluated by investigating its ability to remove respirable particles such as different smoke verities (mosquito coil smoke, cigarette smoke, petrol smoke) from indoor air environment. The experiment was carried out in closed glass container, decay rate for particle concentration were obtained in presence and in absence of negative air ions. The particle removal efficiency was obtained and it can be observed that removal efficiency was highest for petrol smoke as compared to cigarette/mosquito coil smoke. The experiment confirms removal of about 95% respirable particles from indoor air in addition to the natural decay effect.

متن کاملAir flow and particle control with different ventilation systems in a classroom.
Most ventilation and air conditioning systems are designed without much concern about how settling particles behave in ventilation air flows. For displacement ventilation systems, designers normally assume that all pollutants follow the buoyant air flow into an upper zone, where they are evacuated. This is, however, not always true. Previous studies show that high concentrations of settling res...

Indoor air pollution has caused increasing concern in recent years. As we spend most of our lives indoors, it is crucial to understand the health effects caused by indoor air pollution. Household dust serve as good proxy for accessing indoor air pollution, especially smaller dust particles that can pass into the lungs are of interest. In this study we present an efficient method for the isolati...
