Original Title:
Μελέτη της χημικής σύστασης των PM2.5 και συσχέτιση τους με το εσωτερικό/εξωτερικό περιβάλλον σε ημιαστική περιοχή της Αττικής
Translated title:
Study of chemical comosition of the PM2.5 and correlation with the interior/exterior enviroment in suburban area
Summary:
Nowadays indoor air pollution is a widespread phenomenon and is known
by the term “sick building”. Many modern buildings with energy saving made to
be sealed from the ambient conditions. This however has the effect of emitted
harmful gases from various synthetic materials and be trapped in the
hermetically enclosed space.
International studies show that levels of air pollutants are much higher inside
environment than abroad.
This is the reason that pushed us to deal with the impact of the external
environment pollution inside a home in a suburban area of Athens (Likovrisi).
More specifically, calculated the ratio indoor / outdoor (I / O) for the mass
concentration of PM2.5 and the chemical composition in an organic-elemental
carbon and ions. For this reason we performed measurements on the inside and
outside of the house for twenty days. The quality of air in the indoor
environment is influenced by both the activities that take place inside the
house (smoking, cooking, cleaning, etc.) and from external sources (automobile
exhaust, industrial, etc.).
