LoginLung cancer is the most common cancer in the world and accounts for 12.3% of allnew cancer in Europe. About 375,000 new cases of lung cancer were estimated forEurope in 2000; 303,000 in men and 72,000 in women.
Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
indoor exposures, such as VOCs, phthalates, tobacco smoke and biological agents.This paper focuses solely on the biological exposures.
The incidence of asthma and allergy has increased throughout the developed worldover the past forty years (1).
This paper gives first a synopsis of applicable guidelines, codes and standards that provide a background on current methods of nosocomial infection control.
For that study, a CFD technique has been developed in order to investigate indoor airflow patterns and PM10/PM2.5/PM1 removal ability in ventilated partitioned buildings .
First the nanometer particle size distributions were measured in booths with two kinds of ventilation patterns in an occupational environment with welding operations underway.
The objectives of that paper were to :Study the sensitivity and reliability of inhaled air temperature, humidity and gas concentration measurement by a breathing thermal manikinDevelop recommendations for use of breathing thermal manikins in pra
In this study, the importance of moisture exchange for indoor climate and moisture conditions in permeable and hygroscopic structures by means of a all-year-round dynamic simulation along with measurements in a typical Finnish one-storey detached
For this paper 40 studies based on the role of ventilation in airborne transmission of infectious agents in the built environment have been reviewed with two specific research questions :- Is there enough evidence to support that the ventilation
Two government facility ventilation systems were evaluated in that study, one with a recirculation system, and the other one that used 100% outside air with no recirculation.
Numerical simulations were executed to estimate air movement in a typical room.The analytical estimation of minimum value of inlet air velocity from UFAD system has been confirmed by those simulation results of temperature and velocity distributio
To learn more about indoor PM concentrations and associated health risks in schools, data has been collected on indoor air climate parameters in German classrooms (92 in winter 2004-2005 and 75 in summer 2005) only during teaching hours.
The authors focused on the evaluation of the optimal temperature in each cabin of the Korean maritime patrol vessels. Based on human factors, the optimum temperature was 23C in the wheelhouse and 29C in the accommodation.
The transient natural ventilation of a warm room is investigated in this paper. The authors developed a simple model to describe the transient oscillatory process.
A mathematical model has been developed to simulate airflow control systems of ventilation units, then implemented. The simulations results are compared with the experimental results and with data obtained from analytical predictions too.
Field measurements were conducted first in two Korean high-rise residential buildings to show and understand the characteristics of pressure difference and problems due du stack effect.
The aim of thsi paper is to study the effect of five ventilation strategies on the concentrations of VOCs emitted from a new carpet in an apartment with the VOCs emission characteristics taken from chamber test data.
The investigation in a room served by displacement ventilation system of the effect of temperature gradient on overall and local thermal comfort at different overall thermal sensations and room air temperatures was the aim of that study.
In this paper, through CFD simulations, movement and evaporation of small droplets in the room air are investigated. The authors present a modified drift-flux model.
The results of a field study about environmental comfort investigations in classrooms are presented in this paper.
