INDOOR AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT ON TUBE PLATFORM June 9-112005Budapest, Hungary National Institute of Environmental Health Gyáli u. 2-6. Budapest, Hungary É. VASKÖVI, T. BEREGSZÁSZI, M. ENDRŐDY, M. CSÍK, G. KOVÁCS, G. TÖRÖK
OBJECTIVE To quantify the levels of commuter’s exposure in metro station
TOOLS • Making measurements to characterise the indoor air pollution in metro station DS SS
SAMPLING DESIGN • Pollutants:TSP, PM10, PM2,5 NO2, benzene • Period: 21Nov - 05 Dec 2003 • Sites: 2 Budapest metro stationplatforms • Control site: ground above(NO2, benzene) close to the same road (PM fractioned) • Time/frequency: TSP: 3*1 hr/ 5days (8.30-11:30) PM10, PM2,5: 24 hrs/ 5days NO2, benzene: 1 week
SAMPLERS • TSP Hi-Vol, v= 80 m3/hr • PM10, PM2,5 Low-Vol, v=0,6m3/hr • NO2 diffusive, Palmes • C6H6diffusive, Radiello
ANALYSIS • TSP gravimetry • PM10, PM2,5 gravimetry • NO2 spectrophotometry • C6H6 GC/FID
FURTHER ANALYSIS PM10, PM2,5 • Absorption coefficient (Reflectometry) • Elemental composition (SEM) • Morphology (SEM) • Radioactivity (γ-spektrometry) • Mutagenity (Ames test) (TSP) (PM10)
LV outdoor LV outdoor RESULTS 1-hour levels TSP Nagyvárad sqr Klinikák TSPInd>out LV
RESULTS 3-hour means TSP TSP No significant differences
RESULTS Variation in time and space PM10 PM2,5 • PM10> PM2,5 • Differencies in space on • PM10 ,PM2,5 • No tendency
RESULTS 5-day means PM10 PM2,5 • PM10 • Ind>>outd • PM2,5 • Ind > outd
RESULTS Elemental composition • Dominant • Fe • (30%) Morphology Morphology Morphology
RESULTS Elemental composition • Dominant • C • (50%) Morphology
RESULTS Absorption coefficient Ind>outd
Fe: 33%O : 25%C: 27% Fe: 30%O : 24%C: 28% RESULTS Shape and composition PM10 Particles comprised Fe amorphous and needle forms as well Fe: 30% O : 24% C: 28% Fe: 30% O : 24% C: 28%
RESULTS Radioactivity < DL
RESULTS Radioactivity < DL
RESULTS Mutagenity Dose-response relationship TSP • moderate mutagenic activity • responses1,47(1,19) to 4,42(3,31) revertants/ m3 assessed by Tokiwa
M M RESULTS NO2 and C6H6 pollution Nagyvárad sqr Klinikák • NO2 • Ind<outd • C6H6 • Ind < outd
CONCLUSION • Low level indoor exposure • Indoor pollution is affected by outdoor pollution • Indoor pollution is independent from the depht of station • Underground microenvironment considered as a source of dust comprised Fe exposure
1896 2003 FINALCONCLUSION We suppose that the exposure associated with commuting underground is not a risk for public
SUGGESTION • Regural cleaning • Air cleanig • Further measurements
Thank you for your attention
CONCLUSION Exposure • POLLUTION Indoor>outdoor (PM) Indoor>outdoor (Fe) Indoor<outdoor (NO2, C6H6) • TIME Indoor (ave. 15 min) <<< outdoor (more hrs) Indoor exp < ambient exp
