    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon dioxide; formaldehyde; TVOC; Schefflera; Spathiphyllum; Epipremnum; plants; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik; Byggteknik; Building Technology;

    Sammanfattning : People spend more than 80 % of the day indoors and are mostly exposed to contaminated air. Some authors suggest that indoor plants are good as indoor air cleaners. Authors have studied the sink effect of indoor plants in unventilated closed systems. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Semipermeable membrane devices as integrative tools for monitoring nonpolar aromatic compounds in air

    Författare :Hanna Söderström; Mats Tysklind; Per-Anders Bergqvist; Jochen F. Muller; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; air pollution; alkyl-PAHs; atmosphere; bioavailability; boundary layer; diffusive sampling; emissions; integrative; membrane; monitoring; nitro-PAHs; PAHs; particles; passive samplers; PCBs; plants; PRCs; release rate; sampler design; sources; SPMDs; traffic; uptake rate; wind effect; wood burning; Miljökemi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : Air pollutants pose a high risk for humans, and the environment, and this pollution is one of the major environmental problems facing modern society. Active air sampling is the technique that has been traditionally used to monitor nonpolar aromatic air pollutants. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Levels and sources of organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers in indoor and outdoor environments

    Författare :Anneli Marklund; Peter Haglund; Barbro Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organophosphate esters; OPs; human exposure; air; dust; sewage treatment plants; sludge; oil; snow; deposition; flame retardants; plasticizers; analysis; TCEP; TPP; TCPP; TBP; TBEP; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : Global consumption of organophosphate esters (OPs), which are used as flame retardants and plasticizers, is rapidly increasing. Their use as additives in diverse applications poses a risk as they may be emitted from the products they are added to and be further transported in the environment. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Extensive green roofs in Porto Alegre, Brazil : Effect on indoor thermal comfort in residential buildings

    Författare :Lisandra Fachinello Krebs; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; Computer simulations; Extensive green roofs; Housing projects; Indoor thermal comfort; Leaf area index; Microclimate; Social housing; Sustainability; Thermal comfort;

    Sammanfattning : Brazil had a significant quantitative housing deficit of 7.7 million residences in 2015, especially in low-income housing. Traditionally, these projects have low levels of thermal insulation which can result in discomfort caused by warmth or cold. The residential sector is responsible for a significant part of the energy use in Brazil. LÄS MER
