Insufficient quantity and quality of sleep is a public health concern that can be addressed by interventions for improving sleep outcomes. Environmental factors such as poor air quality are a potential target for intervention, particularly in light of associations between air pollution and worse sleep. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate...

The offer of air cleaners has increased significantly since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. However, it is not clear to what extent they can contribute to indoor air quality. There are multiple standards that describe test methods for air cleaners, but no consensus can be found on how to determine the performance of the air cleaners. This paper contains a...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation
Rationale: Poor indoor air quality has been associated with worse chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) morbidity. In-home portable air cleaners reduce indoor pollutants and could improve respiratory health. Factors associated with air cleaner adherence among adults with COPD remains unknown. Methods: In a 6-month trial of former smokers wit...

Clinical and experimental allergy : journal of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology
Air cleaners have been promoted for respiratory allergic disease prevention, but there is no clear clinical proof of their efficacy in allergic asthma. To examine the efficacy of a new air cleaner on early and late asthmatic responses in cat-allergic patients. This randomized, cross-over, double-blind placebo-controlled study enrolled 24 cat-asthma...

Portable photocatalytic air cleaners were investigated in 24 and 48 m3 emission test chambers with regard to efficiency and by-product generation. For this purpose, formaldehyde, decane, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, toluene, α-pinene and heptanal were doped at sub-ppm concentration levels into the chambers individually and in mixtures. By way of specified ...

In een eerder onderzoek werd aan de hand van literatuur en interviews geconcludeerd dat verspreiding van legionella naar de omgeving door biologische luchtwassers theoretisch mogelijk is, mits de temperatuur van het waswater voldoende hoog is. Deze conclusie is gebaseerd op de geldende procesomstandigheden in deze systemen: de aanwezigheid van reci...

In the project “ICT-AGRI: Development of harmonized sampling and measurement methods for odour, ammonia and dust emissions” different subgroups have been formed focusing on either ammonia, odour or dust. In this report, the conclusions of the ammonia subgroup regarding harmonization of measurement methods for the estimation of the ammonia removal f...

The aim was to assess the environmental impact of a biotrickling filter with nitrification only and with subsequent denitrification. Life cycle assessment was applied to assess greenhouse gases, nitrate, ammonia and fossil fuel depletion. The biotrickling filter with nitrification and denitrification had higher greenhouse gas emission, whereas nitr...
