  • Title: [Particulate matter measurements PM2.5 and PM10 in Rome: comparison indoor/outdoor].
    Author: Cattani G, Cusano MC, Inglessis M, Settimo G, Stacchini G, Ziemacki G, Marconi A.
    Journal: Ann Ist Super Sanita; 2003; 39(3):357-64. PubMed ID: 15098556.
    Abstract:
    The concentration of airborne particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) was assessed over 12 months (1999-2000) both outdoor and indoor (workplaces and homes without major PM sources) through a manual gravimetric method. Mean concentration values outdoors were moderately lower than indoor concentrations in summer, but higher in winter. The correlations between outdoor and indoor values are statistically significant, especially for PM2.5 in winter. The position of indoor sites with respect to street level was immaterial as far as mean values is concerned, whilst maximum values presented some differences accordingly. Day-to-day variability was higher outside than inside, especially in winter. The PM2.5/PM10 ratio was higher indoors, probably owing to the higher sedimentation speed of the coarse fraction.
