The method was applied to measurements in the Pieskowa Skała Castle Museum in Poland. A dominating source of “soil and building dust” was indicated all year round, probably partly from renovation works of the castle, with larger total infiltration in the winter–spring (W-S) but with a higher proportion of ventilation ingress in the summer–autumn (S-A). About 60%–80%, by mass, of the water-soluble ions in the soil and building dust were calcium and probably some magnesium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO₃)₂, Mg(HCO₃)₂) and about 10%–20% sulfates (SO₄⁻⁻) with calcium (Ca⁺⁺) and several other cations. The other main source of the ion deposits was indicated to be air pollution, with chloride (Cl⁻), sulfate (SO₄⁻⁻), and nitrate (NO₃⁻), from outdoor combustion sources, like traffic, residential heating, and industry. These were mainly v from outdoors in the colder parts of the year, but also to the more open locations in the S-A. A small source of nv sulfate (SO₄⁻⁻) was identified inside two showcases in the S-A.

For the urban Zambia sample, we compare %COHb and frequency of charcoal use to a series of cognitive test scores and find no consistent relationships between %COHb and cognitive test scores.

Static electricity is used to reduce pressure resistance, but electrostatic effects and the environmental variables that affect them are not well studied. Therefore, this study evaluated the contribution of static electricity to the filtration efficiency of respirators and the effects of changes in temperature and humidity on static electricity and the resulting filtration efficiency. Eight respirators from four manufacturers—four for workers (1^st class respirators) and four for citizens (KF-94 respirators)—were selected, all of which met legal standards in Korea. The filtration efficiency and pressure drop were evaluated at baseline and after removing static electricity with isopropanol. To study the effects of humidity and temperature on the efficiency of the respirators, the respirators were exposed to 30, 50, and 98% humidity while the temperature was fixed at 25°C and to temperatures of −30, 25, and 70°C while the humidity was fixed at 50%. Static electricity was measured using a surface-potential meter, and the filtration efficiency was measured using NaCl and paraffin oil. When static electricity was removed from the 1^st class and KF-94 respirators, the filtration efficiency decreased by 21.7% and 19.5%, respectively. Humidity affected the change in static electricity slightly more than temperature, but since not all static electricity was removed, the filtration efficiency was not affected greatly. The changes in static electricity and filtration efficiency due to humidity were significant, but this was because the standard deviation was small.

To address this gap, we aimed at identifying major odorants in fifteen samples representing eight common types of flexible PU materials. The volatiles isolated from the samples were subjected to activity-guided screening via gas chromatography-olfactometry. Structures were assigned by comparing odor, retention data, and mass spectra to those of authentic reference compounds. This approach led to the identification of 50 odorants, 39 of which had not previously been described in PU. The odorants belonged to a wide range of compound classes, including tertiary amines, fatty acid oxidation products, short-chain aldehydes, trioxocanes, pyrazines, aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocycles, chlorinated compounds, phenol derivatives, fragrance compounds, and nitriles. For some odorants, further insights were gained into their origins and release behavior. For example, the odorous 1,4-dimethylpiperazine had been used as a catalyst, and propanal was shown to be not only a PU odorant but also the precursor of an odor-active trioxocane. Additionally, the quantitation of acetaldehyde and propanal suggested their continuous regeneration from the samples.

Under transient winter heating conditions, the study experimentally investigates the correlation between objective physiological parameters (skin temperature and electroencephalogram) and subjective human thermal perception.

Results reveal that breathing inhalation increases the upward velocity of the thermal plume on the one hand, which directly affects the microenvironment and indirectly impacts the macroenvironment due to the more vigorous reflected thermal plume. On the other hand, the upward thermal plume reduces the penetration length of the exhaled jet. Breathing activities create ring vortices that connect the microenvironment and the macroenvironment.
