Infectious disease spread in connected communities
Ecohydrology and epidemiology share a deep bond in infectious disease modelling. The former focuses on the interaction among species and their water-controlled environment (i.e., the study of water controls on the biota). The latter revolves around specif ...
EPFL2024Optimal sensor placement for personal inhalation exposure detection in static and dynamic office environments
Modern health and productivity concerns related to air pollutant exposure in buildings have sparked the need for occupant-centric monitoring and ventilation control. The existing personal exposure monitoring is often restricted to stationary air quality se ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Assessment of Monitoring Strategies for Inhalation Exposure and Occupancy in Office Environments
Given people's significant time spent indoors, ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential because it significantly influences occupants' health and productivity. Office buildings consume about 50% of commercial building energy and 18% of total bui ...
EPFL2023Comparison of the impact of ozone, chlorine dioxide, ferrate and permanganate pre-oxidation on organic disinfection byproduct formation during post-chlorination
Pre-oxidation is commonly used to mitigate the formation of byproducts during post-disinfection. A comparative study of the impact of four pre-oxidants, ozone (O-3), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), permanganate (Mn(vii)) and ferrate (Fe(vi)), on the formation of ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2020Chromium bioavailability in aquatic systems impacted by tannery wastewaters. Part 1: Understanding chromium accumulation by indigenous chironomids
The tanning industry uses large quantities of Cr whose contribution to the contaminant burden of aquatic organismsis not yet fully understood. The present study investigated Cr bioaccumulation by indigenous chironomids in a freshwater ecosystem impacted by ...
2019Air pollution risk assessment on urban agriculture
- Theoretical part (about 3 weeks from 20 Feb to 12 March) Literature search for current knowledge on air pollution in relation to urban farming: where is the accumulation; what kind of pollution can we find (dusts, dioxins, PM, heavy metalsâŠ); what are ...
Evaluation of models for dermal exposure assessment in farming systems in developing countries
Dermal Exposure Assessment is a crucial aspect within the risk assessment of pesticide use as it may lead to the development and improvement of measures to reduce the health risk of pesticides users. Even though, tools for dermal exposure assessment are av ...
