  • In Interior living or working Environment air contains about 900

contaminants, from various sources (EPA, 1989)

  • IAQ Interior Air Quality problems are associated with:

– improper ventilation 53%, – External Contamination 10%, – Microbial Contamination 5%, – Contamination by Construction materials 4%, – Unknown source 13% (OSHA, 1997) Suspended particle in the Interior Environment is of great Health Concern (GRAMAGE, 1985)

The optimal level of pollution is achieved when the marginal damage (MD) equals society's marginal cost

  • f abating (MCA) that

damage

The additional cost of moving from one level to another is called the “marginal cost”. B : total cost for society to abate this optimal level of pollution A+B: total damage avoided

The goal is not to reduce environmental damages to zero, The goal is not to reduce environmental damages to zero, but to achieve an but to achieve an ‘ ‘optimal emission level

  • ptimal emission level‘

CONCLUSIONS

  • 1.

All the vehicle tested, interior environment demonstrate presence of Nanoparticles or Aggregation of Nanoparticles size ranging from 100-500nm (MIGHT BE OF GREAT HEALTH RISK)

  • 2.

30% of the Vehicle showed formation of nanofilms it might be due to presence of partially combusted hydrocarbon in ZMVM

slide-37

CONCLUSIONS

  • 3. Raman Spectra Analysis reveals the presence of

HC (PAH) in the nanoparticles deposited in the interior of the Vehicle.

  • 4. Accumulation fo nanoparticles depends on

velocity, type of transit, model, manufacturer and Type of drivers…

  • 5. Vehicle performance: Renault ≥ BMW ≥ Honda ≥

Ford > General Motors > Nissan >> VW.

FUTURE RESEARCH & SUGGESTIONS

  • A MATHEMATICAL MODEL TO PREDICT THE RATE OF DEPOSITION

OF NANOPARTICLES USING QUANTUM MECHANICS CONCEPTS.

  • Use of High Quality Gasoline and Lubricants and Services.
  • Use of new Nanotech based Airfilters in the vehicle and new materials for

the interiors of the vehicle could aggregate the nanoparticles to sediment rapidly or molecular entrapment could be achieved through NEW NANOMATERIALS.

  • GAPS AND UNCERTANITIES EXIST, HOWEVER WILL BE MORE

AND MORE REDUCED DUE TO ONGOING RESEARCH IN ENVIRONMENTAL NANOTECHNOLOGY TO ACHIEVE REDUCTION OF NANOPARTICLES IN THE AIR.
