THE EFFECT OF ACTIVITY ON AIR QUALITY WITHIN THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AMANDA BRADBURY SLOAN 20 HOME STUDY • One year study on the temporal and seasonal variation of microbes within15 Boulder, Colorado homes. • How daily activities effect what microbes are found within residences. PURPOSE • Implement and include the data collected from the ozone and VOC aeroqual series 500 instruments. • Set up and collect PM10, CO2, CO, temperature, and microbial data BACKGROUND • Ozone reacts with VOCs • Microbes are capable of releasing VOCs into the surrounding environment which dominates which organisms will thrive or regress in a particular community. • Fungal growth rate and enzyme activity are greatly influences by VOCs released by bacteria. HYPOTHESIS • If ozone and VOC levels are inversely proportional and VOC and microbial growth is proportional, then an increase in ozone would show a decrease in the diversity of microbes and VOC concentrations. SET UP CONCLUSIONS • There are various aspects of an individuals home life that could be altered in order to make a healthier and happier home environment. • The ozone and VOC monitors will be implemented upon their arrival.
