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, ... -
Child car seats – a habitat for house dust mites and reservoir for harmful allergens
Clarke, David; Gormally, Michael; Sheahan, Jerome; Byrne, Miriam (Institute of Rural Health, 2015-02-24)Introduction and Objective. House dust mites produce allergens which can cause or aggravate diseases such as asthma, eczema and rhinitis. The objectives of this study are to quantify typical house dust mite and Der p 1 ... -
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 ... -

Environmental health organisations against tobacco
Mulcahy, Maurice; Evans, David S.; Lahiffe, Blaithin; Goggin, Deirdre; Smyth, Colm; Gerard Hastings, Gerard; Byrne, Miriam (MDPI AG, 2009-04-15)Implementing the World Health Organisation (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) relies heavily on enforcement. Little is known of the way different enforcement agencies operate, prioritise or network. A ... -
Indoor air quality and thermal comfort in Irish retrofitted energy efficient homes
Coggins, Marie; Broderick, Aine; Byrne, Miriam (School of Physics, NUI Galway, 2017-03-14)Results from an Irish study comparing the concentrations of 10 indoor air pollutants and occupant comfort in 15 naturally ventilated three bed semi-detached two storey homes before and after the implementation of energy ... -
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. ... -
Measured indoor aerosol concentration arising from commonly-used food and medicinal powders: a pilot study
Thomas, Roy; Byrne, Miriam (Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research, 2017-01-01)Inhalation exposures in the ambient environment may trigger allergic or other adverse responses in susceptible individuals, and this study aims to elucidate the contribution, if any, of airborne particles resulting from ... -
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 ... -
Pilot study to investigate indoor air quality (IAQ) in energy efficient homes in Ireland: Report prepared for EPA STRIVE and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland
Coggins, Marie; Byrne, Miriam; Kleefeld, Silke (School of Physics, NUI Galway, 2010-09)Within this pilot study a number of Indoor air pollutants were measured in five energy efficient homes built to enhanced standards of air tightness of between 0.75 m3 /hr/m2 and 8.75 m3 /hr/m2 . The five homes were ... -
