Title A name given to the resource <h2>Air Quality Guidelines - global update 2005</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>Air quality guidelines have been published by WHO in 1987 and they were revised in 1997. Given the wealth of new studies on the health effects of air pollution that have been published in the scientific literature since the completion of the second edi¬tion of the Air quality Guidelines for Europe, includ¬ing important new research from low-and middle-income countries where air pollution levels are at their highest, WHO has undertaken to review the accumulated scientific evidence and to consider its implications for its air quality guidelines. The result of this work is presented in this document in the form of revised guideline values for selected air pollutants, which are applicable across all WHO regions.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/phe/health_topics/outdoorair_aqg/en/index.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/phe/health_topics/outdoorair_aqg/en/index.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Évaluation de l'utilisation d'un système de contrôle de l'air neuf par les taux de CO2 : étude d'un édifice Subject The topic of the resource <span>Previous work at the Institute has identified inadequate fresh air entry as a serious concern in office buildings. This problem is present in ventilation systems in which, for economic reasons, fresh air entry is regulated as a function of outside temperature rather than density of occupation. Carbon dioxide levels are generally accepted to be good indicators of density and ventilation system efficiency. This project examined the impact of a CO2-based monitoring system on air quality. The study was conducted on two floors of an office building, one supplied by a CO2-controlled ventilation system, the other by a conventional temperature-based ventilation system. However, in order to ensure the comfort of building occupants, it proved necessary to install a secondary temperature control on the floor supplied by the CO2-based ventilation system. There were no differences in contaminant levels, comfort levels, or ventilation parameters between the two floors. The project demonstrated the difficulty associated with the implementation of fresh-air inlet systems based solely on the levels of ambient CO2.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_88.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_88.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Sampling Guide for Air Contaminants in the Workplace - 7Th Edition Revised and Updated</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>Cited as a reference document in the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety (RROHS), an essential tool for hygienists, this guide describes the strategy and methods for measuring workers' exposure to gases, fumes, vapours or dusts so that means of control can be implemented. The modifications and additions to this eighth edition take into account the recent evolution in workplaces and the Québec health and safety regulations. The Sampling Strategy chapter has been enhanced by the addition of new references and reorganized to make its content comply with the RROHS. In the Instruments and Sampling Techniques chapter, a new section called Compliance with the RROHS's permissible exposure values (PEVs) clearly states the invariable nature of PEVs in relation to temperature and pressure. This change led to substantial modifications to the chapters on pumps, flowmeters and calibration. The sections on direct-reading instruments, analysis of respirable compressed air, microbiology and surface tests were also updated.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/files/documents/PubIRSST/T-15.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/files/documents/PubIRSST/T-15.pdf</a> Type The nature or genre of the resource PDF Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>The effect of stack height, stack location and rooftop structures on air intake contamination: A laboratory and full-scale study</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>An air intake's location on the roof of a building is a determining factor for indoor air quality due to the possible reintroduction of contamination from the neighboring exhaust stacks. Ventilation system designers currently use tools such as mathematical models and wind tunnel simulations to estimate the dilution between the source and the air intake. These techniques are valid but do not take into consideration several variables, and sometimes the estimated dilution values differ from the measured values. Using field tests and boundary layer wind tunnel modeling, the authors studied the dilution phenomenon and impact of certain parameters (wind direction, stack height and location, roof irregularities, turbulence, air exhaust velocity) to refine the models used. This project has resulted in the development of guidelines intended for ventilation engineers. The results are also of interest to several professional associations and standardization organizations.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/fr/_publicationirsst_100103.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/fr/_publicationirsst_100103.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Guide on respiratory protection against bioaerosols - Recommendations for selection and use</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>No respiratory protection guide specific to biological hazards exists. To make up for this deficiency, the review committee for Schedule 1 of the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety asked the IRSST to produce such a document. The authors will take into account two types of hazards: infections associated with living bioaerosols, and the immunological or toxic reactions caused by microorganisms, even dead ones. The guide that will result from their work will be useful to workers exposed to biological hazards and to the people responsible for protecting them by determining the need to wear respiratory protective equipment and by making it easier to choose the most appropriate device, based on the case.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100283.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100283.html</a>
