1 AMANDA BRADBURY THE EFFECT OF ACTIVITY ON AIR QUALITY WITHIN THE HOME ENVIRONMENT

2 SLOAN 20 HOME STUDY One year study on the temporal and seasonal variation of microbes within15 Boulder, Colorado homes. How daily activities effect what microbes are found within residences.

3 PURPOSE Implement and include the data collected from the ozone and VOC aeroqual series 500 instruments. Set up and collect PM10, CO2, CO, temperature, and microbial data

4 BACKGROUND Ozone reacts with VOCs Microbes are capable of releasing VOCs into the surrounding environment which dominates which organisms will thrive or regress in a particular community. Fungal growth rate and enzyme activity are greatly influences by VOCs released by bacteria.

5 HYPOTHESIS If ozone and VOC levels are inversely proportional and VOC and microbial growth is proportional, then an increase in ozone would show a decrease in the diversity of microbes and VOC concentrations.
