An assessment of allergenic mite species and allergens in vehicles and homes, with particular reference to dust mite transfer in clothing
Clarke, David (2015-03-25)Dust mite allergens cause conditions including asthma, atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis in people globally. Most studies investigating aspects of mite ecology and epidemiology have focussed on Pyroglyphid mites, ... -
Development of a Probabilistic Multi-Zone Multi-Source Computational Model for Indoor Air Pollution Exposure Assessment
McGrath, James (2014-02-12)Airborne Particulate Matter (PM) is a major environmental concern because of its known impacts on human health, and since the developed world population spends approximately 89% of its time indoors, PM in the indoor ... -
The Integration of Bounce and Resuspension into a Lagrangian Simulation of Particle Movement.
Fergus, Alan (2010-09-30)The phenomenon of particle transport in turbulent flows has been studied extensively using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) over the past few decades. One of the most useful DNS approaches is Lagrangian simulation. ... -
Measuring Aerosol Particle Behaviour due to Human Activity Indoors for Re-Exposure Evaluation
McDonagh, Ann (2013-10-31)The transport and fate of hazardous aerosols, including those of a radiological and biological nature, have been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically. However, less attention has been given to the ...
