Abstract
This study examined the particulate matter (PM) in an urban, public high school in order to determine the potential exposure to students, faculty and staff. A TSI P-Trak Plus Model 8525 and a TSI DustTrak Model 8534 DRX were set to five-minute average log mode in five locations throughout the school. Generally, the levels of indoor PM were below that of the outdoors. Of the five indoor locations, the classroom had the highest levels of PM whereas the gym had the lowest. Overall, 5th period, the longest class period, had the highest median values for PM – except for PM1. The highest median values for PM1 was recorded in the breaks between classes. The results of this study indicate that the levels of PM within the high school are below outdoor standards.
