ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the indoor particulate matter concentration in accommodation places in Liuzhou City, and to analyze the change rule and influencing factors of the concentration. Methods Eighteen hotels in Liuzhou were selected as monitoring objects by stratified random sampling method, and indoor particulate matter concentration and related factors were monitored from 2016 to 2021. Results The indoor PM2.5 concentration was 33(20-49) μg/m3, and the qualified rate was 89.1%. The concentration of PM10 was 70 (42-102) μg/m3, and the qualified rate was 88.6%. There were significant differences in indoor PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentration and qualification rate in different years (P2.5 and PM10 concentrations were the highest in winter and spring, and the lowest in summer, with a statistically significant difference (P2.5 concentration was highly correlated with PM10 concentration (r=0.996, P2.5 and PM10 concentrations were positively correlated with CO, total number of bacteria in the air, CO2, and noise, and negatively correlated with temperature. Multivariate regression analysis showed that there was a high positive correlation between indoor PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations, which was correlated with seasons (P2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations.
