A 3-month pilot study (February—April 2006) was conducted to determine the quality of indoor air in hospitals in the Tamil Nadu region of India and to characterize the predominant aerobic bacteria and fungi present. The main objectives were (1) to sample the indoor air of three different hospitals in Chennai for bioaerosols to generate baseline data using the Petri plate gravitational settling ...
Lombard Street Retrofit – San Francisco, CA Retro-Coat™ (patent pending) was selected to mitigate vapor intrusion within a structure built in 1907 that had been impacted by both a former underground storage tank and a local dry cleaner. Indoor air samples taken prior to application showed chlorinated solvent-based PCE and TCE levels above the Regional Water Quality Control Board ...
Canarina DISPER Software · indoor air quality dispersion 9.1.3 Wind Speed Profile The wind power law is used to adjust the observed wind speed, uref, from a reference measurement height, zref, to the stack or release height, hs. The stack height wind speed, us, is used in the Gaussian plume equation. The power law equation is of the form: us=uref(hs/zref)p (4) where p ...

Budget considerations often limit the number of air, surface or bulk samples that can be taken in an IAQ investigation. Once the laboratory has returned the test data, then someone has to decide how to interpret it. It’s not enough to simply compare indoor data to the data collected in the outdoor or control sample. Indoor air samples are subject to two kinds of error: False Positives and ...
Abstract Sampling indoor air for potential vapor intrusion impacts using current standard 24-hour sample collection methods may not adequately account for temporal variability and detect contamination best represented by long-term sampling periods. Mr. Henry Schuver of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Solid Waste staled at the September 2007 Air & Waste Management ...
The Issue: The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) mandated soil and groundwater sampling under an active pharmaceutical company manufacturing building in order to address vapor intrusion inside the building. Installation of vertical borings and wells through the building slab was not practicable without profound disruption of manufacturing activities inside the building. ...
The train is an important vehicle in China, but its air quality has important impacts on passengers’ health. In this work, pollution from carbonyl compounds was measured in the air of six trains. The objectives of this work were to investigate carbonyl compound levels in selected air from trains, identify their emission sources, and assess the intake of carbonyl compounds for passengers. The ...
