| Popis: | Using both stationary air samplers and personal air samplers, concentrations of total suspended particulates, particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 μm, elemental carbon, and organic carbon were measured in the kitchen, bedroom, and outdoors of a rural, nonsmoking household in northern China. The household used a traditional biomass cookstove in winter and summer and a more modern liquified petroleum gas cookstove on the first day in the summer. Most of the particulate matter concentrations both indoors and outdoors exceeded the national air quality standards of China (0.15 mg/m3 for indoor particulate matter with a diameter of 10 μm or less; 0.30 mg/m3 for ambient air total suspended particulate). In the kitchen in the winter, the daily mean concentration of particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 μm was 16 times larger than the national indoor air quality standard for particulate matter with a diameter of 10 μm or less. On average, 53% of the total suspended particulate conce... |
