The air quality index (AQI) for Everett was recently recorded as 162 micrograms/m3 for particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5). That’s pretty unhealthy. Choose a space you occupy regularly (room, car, etc.) and measure the length, width, and height of the space. If that’s a challenge, just use 10.0 ft by 10.0 ft by 12.0 ft as your dimensions. If the air in your space had the same AQI as for Everett, how many grams of particulate matter are present?

Discuss one mechanism of controlling particulate matter.
Employees on the second floor of a multi-story office building have been complaining about indoor air quality. Employees are convinced that there's "something in the air" because several employees report they only have symptoms at work, and the symptoms disappear as soon as they leave the office. A consultant proposing to be an indoor air quality expert provided a report with the following information about air samples collected on the second floor: 1200-1300 ppm carbon dioxide62-78% relative humidity.05 ppm formaldehyde (direct reading colorimetric tube)278 – 372 counts/m3 total airborne mold spores inside8,390 – 11,150 counts/m3 total airborne mold spores outside That's all the information you have. What additional information do you need to be able to evaluate the situation? Begin your discussion with your initial impressions and interpretation of the "consultant's" information. What conclusions, if any, can you make from the test results provided? Then, provide at least two…
Industrial representatives claim that the ambient air quality standard for SO, is so low that one exceeds it if one strikes a simple wooden match in a modest-sized room. Is this true? (a) Calculate the concentration expected for striking such a match in a room that is 15' x 15' x 8'. A typical 2-inch wooden match contains, approximately, 2.5 mg of S. (b) Compare the resulting concentration to the annual average SO, ambient air quality standard.
Considering that your house has a high amount of air pollutants, what will be the mitigation measures that you will do in order to lessen the amount of pollutants? Explain briefly.
QUESTION 1 The following table shows the concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5) and wind velocity recorded at an air quality monitoring station. Wind speed (m/s) PM2.5 (ug/m³) 69.2 5.42 4.94 59.2 4.33 79.2 4.72 79.2 4.06 59.6 4.06 72.4 3.17 53.2 2.94 50.0 2.81 46.8 3.14 51.6 Calculate: i. Sample mean, median and mode. ii. Standard deviation. Correlation coefficient (r) and give comment. Fit a least square line that will enable to predict the PM2.5 in terms of wind speed. Interpret the results. Estimate the concentration of PM2.5 when the wind speed is 4.50 m/s. ii. iv. V.
