Health risk assessment of heavy metals in dust particles precipitated on the screen of computer monitors.

Dust is an important factor to indoor pollution that contains suspended particles and heavy metals. Since today, use of computer has become an essential part of human life. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the amount of heavy metals deposited on CRTs and LCDs and their risk assessment.

Assessment of types of bacterial bio-aerosols and concentrations in the indoor air of gyms.

The presence of airborne microorganisms in indoor air (home and work) is a serious public health concern. Bio-aerosols have a significant role in indoor air pollution as they can be pathogenic or cause an allergic reaction following inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. This study aimed to assess bacterial bio-aerosols in the indoor air concentration of gyms, and its relationship with gym area per person, temperature, and relative humidity.
