Five classrooms in a Primary School in Xuanwu District of Beijing were chosen for investigation of indoor air quality. In the autumn measurement period and in the winter measurement period, various dust particle fractions (PM10 and PM2.5) were monitored indoors and outdoors continuously by portable monitors and samplers. Applying statistical software, the impact of different parameters on particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) mass concentration was then quantitatively analyzed. The main conclusions were included as follows: (1) Exposure to PM10 and PM2.5 in the indoor air of classrooms in autumn and in winter was high, especially that of PM2.5 in autumn. (2) The indoor PM10 and PM2.5 mass concentrations were related to different parameters including relative humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, area of opened windows or louver windows, number of students and room volume/student and so on. (3) No marked differences in indoor PM10 and PM2.5 mass concentrations were observed between autumn and winter (p>0.05). However, a statistically significant influence of class level on the indoor PM10 and PM2.5 mass concentrations was apparent in both measurement periods (p<0.05).
According to the practice of city gas odorization, the technological thought that the diffusion behavior of natural gas in soil was indirectly reflected by the adsorption capacity of tetrahydrothiophene (THT) as an odorant of natural gas in soil was put forward and explored. The adsorbed amount of THT in soil samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GS-MS) with purge and trap was determined. The impact of four parameters (namely gas leakage, water content, particle size and texture of the soil) on the adsorption properties of soil was then quantitatively analyzed. The experimental results showed that at initial stage of adsorption, the adsorption capacity of THT in soil sample was linear positively correlated with gas leakage and was negatively correlated with water content of the soil and there were no significant differences between particle size and texture of the soil and the amount of THT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
