Description
Summary:The goal of the project was to monitor PM<sub>0.1</sub> to PM<sub>10</sub> levels in one of the four rooms in a four-bed building for a period of one month using a low cost in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The data collected during this period were statistically analyzed using Minitab software. The mean PM (µg/m<sup>3</sup>) values obtained when compared with the available World Health Organisation (WHO) standards, PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub>, were found to be above the 24 h limits, indicating a potential danger to the environment and individuals.
