Comparative study on indoor air quality in Japan and China: Characteristics of residential indoor and outdoor VOCs

Vertical Distribution and Potential Risk of Particulate Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in High Buildings of Bangkok, Thailand

“…In spite of numerous investigations implying that indoor PM 10 concentrations, PAHs and VOCs were gradually lower than outdoor concentrations, the adequate positive correlations between indoor and outdoor concentrations were detected, indicating that indoor concentrations were to some extent dependent on ambient concentrations (Colome et al, 1992;Ohura et al, 2009;Masih et al, 2010). To the best of our knowledge, there is no available study related to the assessment of health risk associated with the exposure to particulate PAHs of workers and residents living in high buildings of Thailand.…”

Estimation of Gas-particle partitioning Coefficients (Kp) of Carcinogenic polycyclic Aromatic hydrocarbons in Carbonaceous Aerosols Collected at Chiang - Mai, Bangkok and hat-Yai, Thailand

“…Although several studies indicated that indoor PM 10 concentrations, PAHs and VOCs were steadily lower than outdoor concentrations, the moderate positive correlations between indoor and outdoor concentrations were observed, suggesting that indoor concentrations were to some extent depending on ambient concentrations (Colome et al, 1992;Ohura et al, 2009;Masih et al, 2010). According to our best knowledge, there is no available study related to the assessment of health risk associated with the exposure to PM 10 , OC and EC of workers and residents living in high buildings of Thailand.…”

BTXs Removal with Transition Metals Coated Beds, Considering the Plausible Reaction Mechanisms

“…The VOCs are emitted by anthropogenic and natural sources but, raised usage of fossil fuels and its derivatives have made the anthropogenic VOCs much bolder. Thus, the ambient and indoor concentrations of them have reported more than the recommended limits in many researches (Davil et al, 2011;Ohura et al, 2009). Hence, control of VOCs in ambient and indoor air has attracted much attentions of the health and environment authorities; also, the researchers in these fields.…”
