ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the pollution status of main indoors air pollution factor, CO and CO2, in Guangzhou City, and to study the feasibility of using same standards in pollution monitoring. Methods 822 sampling points of various public places were monitored. Public places were classified into 1 group (≤5 mg/m3)?2 group(≤10 mg/m3)?3 group(CO level was not require to monitor)by CO level and were classified into Ⅰgroup(≤0.07%)?Ⅱgroup(≤0.10%)?Ⅲgroup(≤0.15%) by CO2 level. The 822 statistics of various public places were analyzed according to the standard value of hygienic Standard for Public Place. Results The results of the monitoring value of CO and CO2 showed as positive bias distribution. Average of CO was (2.76?1.41)mg/m3, the 95% percentile was 6.2 mg/m3; CO2 average value was (0.060?0.020)%, the 95% percentile was 0.099%. There was no significant difference among CO concentrations in 3 public places classified according to the standard (?2=3.70, P=0.157), but significant difference had been seen among CO2 (?2=35.266, P
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore a method with good repeatibility, less interference factors and easily controllable experimental conditions for evaluating the filtering efficiency of air filters Methods This evaluating method referred to Standard Examination Method of Household Portable Electrically Powered Air Purifying Set of America(ANSI/AHAM Ac 1 1998) and used the index of the frequency of air filtration (TAF) in the determination.The required sampling space volumes and the sampling duration of testing were determined based on the related different of air capacities.The levels of CO,CO 2,inhalable particulate(IP),NO 2,SO 2 and total count of air bacteria in filtered air were determined Results IP and total count of air bacteria could be used as sensitive indexes for evaluating the efficiency of air filtration Conclusion This method avoided many interference factors.It presented shorter duration of examination,good repeatibility and stability,easy operation and acturally reflected the efficiency of air filters
