Passive sampling methodology was applied to collect particulate matter (PM) in classrooms of urban and rural primary schools. The samples were taken during a year by passive deposition allowing the study of seasonal variability of the particles masses and chemical content.Chemical characterization of the collected particleswas performed in order to measure its soluble ions content and elemental composition. To ...
O propósito deste projeto foi estudar a Avaliação de Desempenho Docente, mas tendo como enfoque a aplicação de um instrumento para observação de aulas (uma vez que este afigura-se primordial no processo da avaliação externa), no 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, na Região Autónoma da Madeira. A abordagem desta temática é baseada num referencial normativo que regulamenta a Avaliação Externa do Desempenho Docente nesta...
The study of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) obtained by cooling exhaled air under conditions of spontaneous breathing is considered one of the areas with higher interest in respiratory health research. The use of EBC for elemental determination in occupational exposure requires a standard methodological procedure to implement its practice in occupational studies. EBC is an inhomogeneous sample with organic and...
International Congresso on Environmental Health (ICEH 2012). Lisboa, 29 Maio – 1 Junho.
Trata-se de uma breve reflexão sobre o campo da alimentação e nutrição, aproximando o das disciplinas das ciências humanas. Toma-se como referência o pensamento de alguns teóricos e a vivência dos próprios autores. O objetivo principal é motivar a discussão sobre este tema da alimentação e nutrição considerando a complexidade das relações que envolvem o comer e a dietética, além de tentar estimular a reflexão d...
Clean air is a basic requirement of life (World Health Organization, 2010). The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has been the object of several studies due to an increasing concern within the scientific community on the effects of indoor air quality upon health, especially as people tend to spend more time indoors than outdoors (Franck et al., 2011; Canha et al., 2010; WHO, 2010; Environmental Protection Agency, 2010; ...
In this work, 14 primary schools of Lisbon city, Portugal, followed a questionnaire of the ISAAC - International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood Program, in 2009/2010. The questionnaire contained questions to identify children with respiratory diseases (wheeze, asthma and rhinitis). Total particulate matter (TPM) was passively collected inside two classrooms of each of 14 primary schools. Two types o...
Clean air is a basic requirement of life. The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has been the object of several studies due to an increasing concern within the scientific community on the effects of indoor air quality upon health, especially as people tend to spend more time indoors than outdoors. The quality of air inside homes, offices, schools or other private and public buildings is an essential determinant of health...
Simultaneous measurements of outdoor and indoor pollution were performed at three schools in Lisbon. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde and NO2 were passively monitored over a two-week period. Bacterial and fungal colony-forming units and comfort parameters were also monitored at classrooms and playgrounds. The highest indoor levels of CO2 (2666 μg/m³), NO2 (40.3 μg/m³), VOCs (10.3 μ...
