Abstract Climate change presents significant threats to human health, especially for low-income urban communities in the Global South. Despite numerous studies of heat stress, surprisingly little is known about temperatures actually encountered by people their homes, or benefits affordable adaptations. This paper examines indoor air temperature measurements gathered from 47 living rooms within ...

Introduction. Environment and its indicators as health risk factors have been widely studied for a long time. The atmospheric air polluting it are confirmed the most important environmental that influence human’s health. Nevertheless, people spend up to 90% of their time indoors. Indicators indoor environment another origins they can also scales. At same time, these be influenced easily, thus d...

Humans are mostly exposed to ionizing radiation through radon and its decay products. The results of indoor measurements in 39 kindergartens primary schools the Campania region southern Italy presented this paper. survey was carried out with CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs). Radon concentrations were measured ranged from 11 1416 Bq/m3, a geometric mean 77 Bq/m3 standard deviat...

Human exposure research has consistently shown that, for most volatile organic compounds (VOCs), personal exposures are vastly different from outdoor air concentrations. Therefore, risk estimates based on ambient measurements may over- or underestimate risk, leading to ineffective or inefficient management strategies. In the present study we examine the extent of exposure misclassification and ...
