Air quality and particulate matter speciation in a beauty salon and surrounding outdoor environment: Exploratory study
2021, Atmospheric Pollution ResearchCitation Excerpt :The diurnal maximum and minimum values of PM10 concentrations measured in the indoor air ranged between 212 and 1840 μg m−3 and from 7 to 13 μg m−3, respectively. The concentration peaks are usually related to strong short-term emissions from specific sources like use of sprays and hairdryers (Saraga et al., 2014; Van Der Wal et al., 1997). In this study the major indoor peaks of PM10 that were registered over the sampling days coincided with the drying operation of long hair and the use of hair lacquer sprays.
Workplace personal exposure to respirable PM fraction: A study in sixteen indoor environments
2014, Atmospheric Pollution ResearchCitation Excerpt :In cases that one of the volunteers was exposed to a strong source (smoking, spraying etc.), no correlation was observed (r = 0.41, p < 0.05). The maximum concentration was noticed for the hairdresser (286 μg m−3) who –during sampling– had been exposed to two significant aerosol sources: sprays and hairdryer emissions (van der Wal et al., 1997). In terms of health, the magnitude of this concentration for human exposure is high.
