Education

Doctorate, Biological Air pollutants and their health impacts
  • at Institute of Environmental Science and Technology
  • November 2018

Daily ambient and indoor air samples sampled for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015. Samples are then analyzed for four types of allergenic proteins. Two proteins are from plant origins (trees and grass), the other two proteins are from fungal origins (Alternaria Alternata and Aspergillus Flavibus). The daily airborne concentrations are then analysed statistically and correlated with PM10, PM2.5 and meteorological factors such as precipitation, Humidity and temprature. Antihistaminic pharmaceutical daily sales are correlated to the daily airborne allergens. A long range transport model is then done to explore the origin of the airborne allergens using Hysplit
