Indoor air quality in sports center: Assessment of gaseous pollutants

Particulate Matter Concentration in Selected Facilities as an Indicator of Exposure to Their Service Activities

“…Thus, fine PM migrating to the interior of these rooms could accumulate inside them. A similar phenomenon was previously observed in the case of research conducted in classrooms, in two Polish universities and in a large sports facility, as well [ 17 , 53 , 54 ]. It is even more probable considering that, in the second measurement period, airing the rooms in the beauty salons, due to the much lower temperature of the atmospheric air, was less frequent than in the first measurement period (restaurant kitchen, printing house and beauty salon No.…”

“…More and more emerging information speaks about the harmfulness of PM and its impact. The results of scientific studies appearing more often (one can observe great progress in the measurement methods) alarm that air pollution with PM in rooms and workplaces is often the same or even worse than in atmospheric air [ 10 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. It is also worth noting that the air inside living quarters and public utility buildings (schools, kindergartens, theaters, museums) or the interiors of public transport vehicles, as well as the relationship between the internal and external sources of PM and gaseous pollutants and air quality, have been researched quite well so far.…”

Indoor PM2.5 concentrations in various retail stores in an urban city: Levels, sources and health risk assessment

“…[1][2][3] Therefore, indoor concentrations of pollutants are significant for personal exposure, and the effect of indoor air pollutants on human health is of great importance. [4][5][6][7] Indoor air quality in different microenvironments such as residences, schools, offices, hospitals, vehicles and retail stores was investigated in the literature, 3,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and it is clear that there is a significant relationship between indoor activities and pollutant levels. 13,17,21,[23][24][25] Indoor air quality in retail stores has a significant impact on the workers' health since people spend a part of their daily time in retail stores.…”

“…9,16,26,[28][29][30][31][32][33] Indoor air pollutants that are in the form of particles and gases determine the indoor air quality. 9,14,19,22 Particles are classified according to size differences as well as their various features. In general, particles having an aerodynamic diameter equal to or less than 2.5 micrometres are referred to as fine particles, PM 2.5 .…”

Evaluation of Indoor Air Quality by Indoor Environmental Index in Market Places in Istanbul/Türkiye during Covid-19 Pandemic

“…The NO 2 measured in MTs is thought to be of external origin, due to the imposition of a smoking ban indoors, the absence of cooking processes, and the provision of heating processes by air conditioners. The fact that there was no statistically signi cant difference between the MTs, and the lowest NO 2 value was measured in the MT4 with the door air curtain, supports this view.It has been reported that consumables such as perfume, deodorant, soap, detergent, shampoo, air deodorizing sprays, coating materials such as paint/varnish, adhesives, and building materials such as ooring, and o ce machines such as photocopiers and faxes are the main sources of TVOCs in indoor environments(Lee et al, 2006;Bralewska et al, 2022). Considering the variety of products sold in the MTs, there are many stands where the products and materials listed above are exhibited.…”
