“…Due to the various activities in the school indoors, three microenvironments have been chosen for monitoring of indoor RPM and have shown that significant difference is measured levels of RPM (Duan 1980;Kulkarni and Patil 1999). School-wise, school X has been identified for significant higher concentration of indoor and outdoor RPM levels compared to the other selected two schools.…”

The present study is focused on the relationship of school community personal exposure of respirable particulate matter (RPM) with its indoor and ambient outdoor component. A representative longitudinal study design has been adopted. School community is divided into two categories: (1) subjects of science discipline and (2) subjects of nonscience discipline. On the basis of local meteorological parameters and school building constructions, three schools have been identified for the study. Selected subjects have been monitored for 24-h personal RPM exposure along with school indoor and respective outdoor RPM. Paired samples of ambient PM(10) and RPM were collected to establish the correlation between them. Regressions between school indoor and ambient outdoor RPM have shown strong positive relationships in case of two schools having moderate ventilation. The highest RPM to PM(10) ratio (0.62) has occurred at school X located near the steel plant downwind. Almost all indoor and ambient outdoor RPM levels exceed Indian National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS; 60 microg m( - 3)). Highest levels of indoor and ambient outdoor RPM have occurred in school X located near the steel plant. Subjects belonging to the school located near the steel plant (school X) have shown five to six times higher values of RPM compared to NAAQS standards.

“…Particulate of lower-size micron is only a fraction of PM 10 levels that can vary from location to location. Fraction of RPM in ambient PM 10 has also been planned to be evaluated and on the basis of measured value of fraction it has been decided to monitor RPM at all selected classified SCHOOL-X Kulkarni and Patil 1999).…”

Xylan with glucuronic acid functionalities, separated from birchwood, was converted into hydrogels by dissolving it together with chitosan in acidic conditions. The hydrogels were formed at certain xylan/chitosan compositions. The mechanism of the gel formation was investigated with FTIR. Complexation between glucuronic acid functionalities of xylan and amino groups of chitosan is suggested to be responsible for network formation. The swelling behavior of these hydrogels was studied at various pH levels and salt concentrations, and the hydrogels responded in a reversible manner to various stimuli. DMA of the films showed separated transitions that may correspond to different phases. Imaging with AFM in TappingMode TM of the surfaces indicated discrete xylan and chitosan phases. A sponge-like microporous structure, as shown with SEM, was formed when a hydrogel was freeze dried.
