Optical Measurement and Aerosol Filter Loading for Climate Studies.

Workshop CV Dust Atmospheric Aerosols in Cape Verde Region. Aveiro, 11 Janeiro 2013.

Organic compounds in PM2.5 emitted from fireplace and woodstove combustion of t...

The aim of this study is the further characterisation of PM2.5 emissions from the residential wood combustion of common woods grown in Portugal. This new research extends to eight the number of biomass fuels studied and tries to understand the differences that the burning appliance (fireplace versus woodstove) and the combustion temperature (cold and hot start) have on emissions. Pinus pinaster (Maritime pine),...

Seasonal Variability of Atmospheric Dust Over Cape Verde Islands.

International Congresso on Environmental Health (ICEH 2012). Lisboa, 29 Maio – 1 Junho.

Aerosol optical properties at Santiago Island, Cape Verde.

European Aerosol Conference. Granada, Spain, 2-7 September 2012. ; > huge amounts of mineral dust are emitted every year from the Sahara desert to the atmosphere; > optical parameters of mineral aerosols determine the direct interaction of solar and terrestrial radiation in the atmosphere through scattering and absorption; > mineral dust has a great impact on cloud formation leading to additional indirect radi...

Indoor air quality in primary schools

Indoor Air Quality in Primary Schools

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; ...

Indoor air quality in primary schools

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...

Outdoor/indoor air quality in primary schools in Lisbon: a preliminary study

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...

Lower Free Troposphere Aerosol Elemental Composition at Central North Atlantic ...

Symposium on Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics at Mountain Sites. Interlaken, Switzerland, 8-10 June 2010. ; Aerosol samples were collected using an aethalometer (AE31) from 15 July 2001 to the present at the Pico Mountain site in Pico island, Azores, Portugal (38.470ºN; 28.404ºW and 2225 m above mean see level). The aethalometer was setup to integrate the aerosol samples for 24 h period for most of the cases,...

Aerosol particle size distributions at a traffic exposed site and an urban back...

Aerosol size distributions from 6 to 700 nm were measured simultaneously at an urban background site and a roadside station in Oporto. The particle number concentration was higher at the traffic exposed site, where up to 90% of the size spectrum was dominated by the nucleation mode. Larger aerosol mode diameters were observed in the urban background site possibly due to the coagulation processes or uptake of ga...
