Abstract
Indoor air PM2.5 and PM10 samples were collected at the different types of indoor enviornment in the four hospitals and their adjacent outdoor environments in Guangzhou, China, during the summertime. The objectives of this study were (1) to characterize the indoor PM concentrations and associated carbonaceous species in hospitals, (2) to investigate the potential indoor sources and (3) to reconstruct carbonaceous composition in PM. Additionally, regression analysis was made to evaluate effect of outdoor sources to indoor PM levels and comparison was made between I/O levels in different types of indoor environment to evaluate effects of human activities and ventilation types to indoor PM levels.
