The present study aims to analyze the existing indoor environmental conditions of Firozabad City along with its impact on people’s health by going through the correlative index of indoor environment’s determinant and different diseases, faced by the people. In order to measure spatial disparities, the statistical technique, i.e. the standard score additive model (Z- score), has been applied to ...

*Correspondence: Dennis Y. C. Leung, Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong e-mail: [email protected] With the continual improvement in our quality of life, indoor air quality has become an important area of concern in the twenty-first century. Indoor air quality is affected by many factors including the type and running conditions of indoor polluti...

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...

Mechanical ventilation systems for controlling conditions in individual zones can move a constant or variable supply of conditioned air to handle all or some of the heating and cooling loads. They are classified as all-air, air-water, and all-water systems. All-air systems include single-duct, dual-duct and multizone. The systems can be designed to operate at Constant Air Volume (CAV) or Variab...

abstract background: bioaerosol is defined as airborne particles such as living organisms include bacteria, fungi and their related metabolites, such as endotoxin. over the recent years, health effects of bioaerosols such as infectious and respiratory diseases, acute toxic effects, allergies and cancer have been considered. the aim of this study was to evaluate the bacterial and fungal concentr...

background: many studies have been conducted to assess the indoor air quality (iaq) of buildings throughout the world because it is closely related to comfort, safety and work productivity of occupants. however, there is still lack of available literature about iaq in tropical buildings that apply radiant cooling systems in conditioning the indoor air. methods: this paper reports the results ob...

different approaches of source apportionment of dust fractions have been reported world-over. predicting source categories within receptor chemical profiles using regression and factor analysis using pca has been reported to evaluate possible source/routes of air pollution mass. the present study is focused on the application of all three approaches to investigate higher degrees of significance...

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...
