  2. 6. Dispersion and Transformation of Traffic Exhaust Particles in the Urban Atmosphere

    Author : Matthias Ketzel; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; condensation; deposition; dilution; particle size distribution; plume model; street canyon; traffic pollution; urban environment; turbulence; aerosol dynamics modelling; coagulation; Physics; Fysik; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Ketzel;

    Abstract : Ultrafine particles, their sources and fate in the atmosphere are currently key issues in atmospheric research owing to concern about their effects on human health and global climate. Traffic emissions are a dominating source of ultrafine particles, especially in urban areas. READ MORE

  4. 7. Computational fluid dynamics application in indoor air quality and health

    Author : Parastoo Sadeghian; Sasan Sadrizadeh; Sture Holmberg; Ann Tammelin; Olof Sköldenberg; Catherine Noakes; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ventilation systems; Indoor air quality IAQ ; Bacteria-carrying particles BCP ; Infectious respiratory disease; Operating room OR ; Thermal comfort; Computational fluid dynamics CFD ; ventilationssystem; bakteriebärande partiklar; infektionssjukdomar i luftvägarna; operationsrum; termisk komfort; numerisk strömningsmekanik; Strömnings- och klimatteori; Fluid and Climate Theory;

    Abstract : Indoor air quality directly affects the comfort, performance, and well-being of occupants. Indoor pollution can cause immediate or long-term health effects and has been responsible for 4.1% of global deaths in recent decades. READ MORE

  5. 8. Applications of Rice's formula in oceanographic and environmental problems

    Author : Sofia Åberg; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; operations research; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; Statistics; Encountering waves; Gaussian random fields; Palm distributions; Rice s formula; wave statistics; level crossings; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on five papers (A-E), all treating various applications of Rice's formula. The areas of application are oceanographic and environmental problems. The first three papers treat properties of encountering waves, that is, waves that a ship encounters while sailing on the ocean. READ MORE

  6. 9. An electrostatic sampling device for point-of-care detection of bioaerosols

    Author : Laila Ladhani; Wouter van der Wijngaart; Jorma Keskinen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrostatic sampling; bioaerosols; point-of-care; breath sampling; electrostatic precipitation; microfluidic collection; corona discharge; air sampling; non-invasive diagnostics; exhaled breath analysis; on-site detection; aerosol sampling; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Bioaerosols are not only a significant factor of air quality but contribute greatly to the spread of infectious diseases, specifically through expired pathogen-laden aerosols. Clear examples of airborne transmission include: the recent influenza pandemic of 2009, the ongoing tuberculosis epidemic, and yearly norovirus out- breaks, which affect millions of people worldwide and pose serious threats to public healthcare systems.

  7. 10. Laboratory measurements of airborne emissions from car brakes for clean air

    Author : Guido Perricone; Ulf Olofsson; Fulvio Amato; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automotive brake; non-exhaust emissions; inertia brake dynamometer; airborne particles; PM10; PN; isokinetic sampling; Rebrake; volatiles; real driving cycle; car brake emission factors; running-in.; Bilbroms; icke-avgasemissioner; skivbromsdynamometer; luftburna partiklar; PM10; PN; isokinetisk provtagning; Rebrake; volatiler; verkliga körcykler; emissionsfaktorer; in-körning.; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Brake systems are used to safely stop vehicles. The brake pads are pressed against the brake disc, transforming the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat to be dissipated. READ MORE
