To quantify the amount of Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) emitted from five dental substances commonly used in a dental clinic.
An assessment of the indoor air quality in two clinics of the Athens University Dentistry Faculty was conducted.
It was found that TVOC emissions from Kalocryl and Bacillol reached extremely high values affecting the air in the dental clinics at short and long distances from the source. Six pollutants TVOCs, CO2, PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NO(x) were measured and indoor sources associated with dental activities were identified. Very high concentrations of TVOCs were found which exceeded the acceptable levels by a factor of 20, associated with the nature of the dental activities and the ventilation conditions. The CO2 concentration levels were high and the indoor conditions were considered unsatisfactory, associated with the number of occupants and the ventilation conditions. PM concentrations were high due to the nature of the dental activities and they exceeded the outdoor levels by a factor of 5 to 6. The concentrations of the gaseous pollutants NO(x) were low while the SO2 concentrations were hardly detectable.
量化牙科诊所常用的五种牙科材料释放的总挥发性有机化合物(TVOCs)的量。
对雅典大学牙科学院的两家诊所的室内空气质量进行了评估。
发现卡乐可丽和芽孢酚释放的TVOCs达到极高值,影响了距离源头远近不同的牙科诊所内的空气。测量了六种污染物TVOCs、二氧化碳、PM10、PM2.5、二氧化硫和氮氧化物,并确定了与牙科活动相关的室内来源。发现TVOCs浓度非常高,超出可接受水平20倍,这与牙科活动的性质和通风条件有关。二氧化碳浓度水平较高,室内条件被认为不令人满意,这与人员数量和通风条件有关。由于牙科活动的性质,颗粒物浓度较高,超出室外水平5至6倍。气态污染物氮氧化物的浓度较低,而二氧化硫浓度几乎检测不到。
