Indoor air quality at a public bus terminal
This paper presents an assessment of indoor air quality at a public bus terminal. For this purpose, air samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. Mathematical modeling was used to simulate emission factors, occupational exposure, and required ventilation rates to maintain adequate indoor air quality. Mitigation m...

Evaporative and exhaust mobile source air toxic (MSAT) emissions of total volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes), formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, butadiene, methyl tertiary butyl ether, and ethanol were measured in vehicle-related high-end microenvironments (ME) under worst-case conditions plausibly simulating the >99th percentile of inhalati...
متن کاملAssessment of VOCs, PM10, and Formaldehyde Exposure in the Hair Salons of South Korea
Introduction: In hair salons, workers and customers are exposed to high concentrations of several chemical compounds used during the working environment. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and formaldehyde are the major chemicals that alter the indoor air quality. This study aimed to assess the indoor...
