  1. OUTLINE: • MATCH PROJECT • Health Implications of PAH in Indoor Environments • SPADE PROJECT Dr Juana Maria Delgado-Saborit Division of Environmental Health and Risk Management School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham

  2. MATCH PROJECT MATCH PROJECT- Measurement and modelling of Air Toxic Concentrations for Health effects and verification by biomarkers • OBJECTIVES: • Quantify the magnitude and range of individual personal exposures to a selected group of air toxics (VOC & PAH) • Develop models for exposure prediction based on time/activity diaries and micro-environmental concentrations • METHODOLOGY: • Personal Exposure Sampling • Time-Activity Diary • Microenvironment Monitoring • Biomonitoring • Model Development

  3. URINARY BIOMARKERS MODELLING R2=0.47 MATCH PROJECT MATCH PROJECT • RESULTS: PERSONAL & MICROENVIRONMENT

  4. Health Implications of PAH in Indoor Environments • OBJECTIVES: • Assess typical range concentrations and profile of PAH indoor & outdoors • Assess carcinogenic potency of PAH indoors & outdoors • Evaluate whether BaP can be used as a marker indoors • METHODOLOGY: • Microenvironment Sampling – Indoors & Outdoors – MATCH • Calculate carcinogenic potency (CP) and % contribution of BaP to CP

  5. Health Implications of PAH in Indoor Environments

  6. SPADE PROJECT SPADE PROJECT – Sources and Processes determining polycyclic Aromatic hydrocarbons and their Degradation products in the Environment • OBJECTIVES: • Source apportionment of PAH in ambient air • Assess contribution of long-range transport & local sources • Study the breakdown rates of PAH in the atmosphere • Assess levels of PAH reaction products: quinones • METHODOLOGY: • Gas and Particle phase sampling – PAH & Quinones • Remote sampling – HYSPLIT back-trajectories • Lagrangian experiment
