Mobile high-efficiency-filter air cleaners.

Abstract

Below, we present our inspection and preventive maintenance (IPM) procedure for mobile high-efficiency-filter air cleaners, which we evaluated in the October 1995 issue of Health Devices (24[10]). This new procedure follows the format and numbering system used in the recently revised and expanded third edition of the Health Devices IPM System. This published procedure can be downloaded from ECRInet, ECRI's online information system, by using the IPM Task Manager software provided with the IPM System.

Pilot study of indoor radon in Greek workplaces.

Radon and gamma dose rate measurements have been performed in 561 workplaces in 19 prefectures of Greece. The distribution of radon concentration can be well described by a log-normal distribution. Most of the radon concentrations are between 50 and 200 Bq m(-3) with an arithmetic mean of 123 Bq m(-3). The maximum measured value of radon gas concentration is 695 Bq m(-3). About 10% of the workplaces exceed 200 Bq m(-3). Only a small fraction ( approximately 1%) of workplaces exceed the European Commission action level (400 Bq m(-3)). Despite the relative small fraction of workplaces which exceed the value of 400 Bq m(-3), it is clear from the results of the present work that for certain prefectures, further and more extensive research is needed.

Health effects of arsenic, fluorine, and selenium from indoor burning of Chinese coal.

China's economy has developed rapidly in the last two decades, leading to an increase in energy consumption and consequently emissions from energy generation. Coal is a primary energy source in China because of its abundance and will continue to be used in the future. The dominance of coal in energy production is expected to result in increasing levels of exposure to environmental pollution in China. Toxic trace elements emitted during coal combustion are the main sources of indoor air pollution. They are released into the atmosphere mainly in the forms of fine ash and vapors and have the potential to adversely affect human health. Those trace elements, which volatilize during combustion, are hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and are particularly rich in Chinese coals. Among the HAPs, arsenic (As), fluorine (F), and selenium (Se) have already been identified as pollutants that can induce severe health problems. In this review, the geochemical characteristics of As, F, and Se, including their concentration, distribution, and mode of occurrences in Chinese coal, are documented and discussed. Our investigations have confirmed the current As- and F-induced epidemics in Guizhou (Southwest China) and Se epidemic in Hubei (Northeast China). In this study, diagnostic symptoms of arseniasis, fluorosis, and selenosis are also illustrated.
