Only a few research studies have examined indoor MPs in the micrometer size range using active sampling, and studies have mainly concentrated on MPs that are millimeters in size. This study investigated the composition of indoor airborne MPs by active sampling in seven houses in the city center of northwestern Turkey (Eskişehir) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The visual identification showed the presence of different colored MPs, white, red, orange, green, and yellow, with different shapes (fibers, fragments, films, lines, foam, and pellets). The size of the identified MPs was between 2.5 and 327.36 μm. The polymeric composition analysis showed the presence of 123 MPs in all the samples with 22 different polymeric compositions. Residents in these houses are exposed to airborne MPs, with inhalation estimates ranging from 12.03 to 18.51 MPs/m³. However, it was also estimated that humans inhale 156–240 MPs daily in these houses. The dominant MPs were polyamide 6, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, ethylene propylene, polystyrene, and high-density polyethylene. Scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive x-ray elemental analysis revealed the presence of common structural elements, additives, or vectors that are added or adsorbed to MPs like carbon, oxygen, fluorine, magnesium, silicon, chlorine, nitrogen, and aluminum. These indoor environments are prone to MP pollution. Still, the MP level varies due to different characteristics of indoor environments, like activities and the number of occupants/people in the space, etc. The smaller MPs in all the samples highlight the necessity for standardized techniques of MP collection.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49109,"journal":{"name":"Air Quality Atmosphere and Health","volume":"17 9","pages":"2017 - 2033"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11869-024-01559-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140600989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between IAQ and respiratory health implications in children and to identify patterns in IAQ using chemometric analysis. A total of 100 children aged 4 to 6 from 5 urban DCCs in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, were included in the study. The selected IAQ variables comprised temperature, humidity, air velocity, particulate matter, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, airborne bacteria, and fungi. Reported respiratory health symptoms were collected along with sociodemographic and exposure history. There was a significant difference in the median concentration of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, temperature, and relative humidity (<i>p</i> = 0.035; <i>p</i> = 0.008; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001) among DCCs. DCC B recorded the highest concentration of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, airborne fungi, and temperature which exceeded the standard guidelines. The prevalence of cough (χ2² = 12.810, <i>p</i> = 0.012), running nose (χ2² = 11.130, <i>p</i> = 0.013), and blocked nose (χ2² = 11.097, <i>p</i> = 0.025) were significantly higher among DCCs. Statistical results showed that there was a significant association between cough and running nose with high concentrations of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5. The chemometric analysis of HCA showed that DCC C was found to have the highest dissimilarity in IAQ pollutants. PCA identified that PM_2.5, PM_10, airborne fungi, air velocity, and temperature have positive coefficients, accounting for 92.3% of DCCs located on the roadway and ongoing construction. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining good IAQ in DCCs to promote children's respiratory health and develop interventions and policies.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":49109,"journal":{"name":"Air Quality Atmosphere and Health","volume":"17 8","pages":"1677 - 1688"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140301406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various types of MPs, including fibers, fragments, pellets, foams, films, and lines, were identified, with the most common colors being black, red, blue, and brown. Fragments were the predominant type of MPs found, although accurately quantifying their numbers proved challenging due to the dense sample content. These MPs displayed rough and irregular margins suggestive of abrasion. Subsequent chemical and elemental characterization was conducted using micro-Raman and SEM-EDX, revealing the presence of 25 different types of MPs, including PA 66, PTFE, PP, HDPE, and PE. The study indicates that university inhabitants are exposed to airborne MPs (≥ 2.5–336.89 μm) at inhalation rates of 13.88–18.51 MPs/m³ and 180–240 MPs daily. These MPs exhibited significant variations in size, and their distribution varied among the different indoor environments studied. SEM-EDX analysis revealed common elements in the identified MPs, with C, O, F, Na, Cl, Al, Si, and others consistently detected.
