Study on Effects of Smoking on Indoor Particle Characteristics in an Office Environment

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article selected a typical office as the research object to study the effects of smoking on indoor particles. It analyzed the indoor particle characteristics in different conditions. It also compared the indoor particle characteristics in two different environments: opened-window and closed-window. The results indicate that, smoking has significant impacts on the mass and number concentrations of indoor particles. The particles with size of less than 1μm are significantly influenced. Opened-window mainly influences the indoor particles less than 2.5μm and it is beneficial for the disperse of the indoor particles.
