PARTICLE EXPOSURE THROUGH THE INDOOR AIR ENVIRONMENT ∗ GYULA DURA and BRIGITTA SZALAY Fodor Jozsef National Centre for Public Health, National Institute of Environmental Health, Gyali ut 2-6, Budapest 1097, Hungary Abstract: Sources, exposure and measuring techniques for indoor particulate matters (PM) are overviewed. To evaluate indoor air quality in two subway sta- tions in Budapest, concentrations of PM10, PM2.5 and total suspended particu- lates (TSP) were measured during a 5-day period in a preliminary study. The following results were found: PM10 pollution was 2–3 times higher in the metro station than in matched sampling in the street. The levels of PM2.5 were much less. PM pollution level was not influenced by the depth of the platforms. Keywords: indoor environment, particulate matter, exposure, PM on subway 1. Introduction It is well known that air quality has a significant impact on human health. We can drink bottled water if piped water contains too much chlorine. We can select higher-quality food, so-called bio-products currently on the market, if we are afraid of chemical residuals. However, we cannot choose the air we breathe. We spend a large part of our life indoors, at home, or other public environ- ments, such as schools or restaurants. Having clean indoor air is very important for the health of the population as a whole and it becomes particularly impor- tant for infants, children and the elderly or people predisposed to disease, parti- cularly respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. The public health significance of indoor air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM), is studied worldwide and scientific evidence shows a significant impact on the health of the population (/pages/publica- tions/factsheets.asp).
