Indoor pollution and burning practices in wood stove management

Abstract: This study evaluates effects of good burning practice and correct installation and management of wood heaters on indoor air pollution in an Italian rural area. The same study attests the role of education in mitigating wood smoke pollution. In August 2007 and winters of 2007 and 2008, in a little mountain village of Liguria Apennines (Italy), indoor and outdoor benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) concentrations were measured in nine wood-heated houses. During the first sampling, several mistakes … Show more

“…PerkinElmer stainless steel sampling tubes (Perkin Elmer Italia S.p.A., Milan, Italy) pre-packed with Chromosorb 106 (60/80 mesh), previously conditioned [18] were positioned in sampling areas for passive VOC monitoring, out to the direct sources, in the middle of the room or on the opposite wall. Samplings were performed for seven days, from 6 to 13 August 2015, in ward A and from 12 to 17 August 2015 in ward B.…”
