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.
6
SET UP
13
CONCLUSIONS There are various aspects of an individuals home life that could be altered in order to make a healthier and happier home environment. The ozone and VOC monitors will be implemented upon their arrival.
