Concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measured outside homes in Houston, TX and Los Angeles, CA were characterized by the effects of source proximity and meteorological factors.
The LAeq measured outside was shown in almost all the studies to be the most suitable for predicting general annoyance and most of the disturbance reactions compared with other acoustic data, e.g., peak level, pass-by frequency, etc.
The inset in the top left corner of Figure 5 shows the spots measured outside, around, and inside the indentation recorded in the optical microscope attached to the spectrometer.
The PM concentrations were measured outside, at the entrance of the hospital, as previously described [16].
Ambient concentrations of DEP were substantially higher than those reported in suburban and urban locations in China (15) and in Paris (16) but were comparable to those measured outside homes in another suburban California community (17).
In a U.S. study of exposure to ambient particulate matter and respiratory effects in asthmatic children, levoglucosan (a marker of woodsmoke) was measured outside and was found to be significantly associated with a decrease in measured lung function (FEV1) (Allen et al. 2008).
We have recently reported associations of both incident and prevalent asthma with ambient residential NO2 measured outside homes of a relatively small sample of children from another CHS cohort in many of the same communities, but NO2 in that study was a marker for intracommunity variation in the mixture of TRPs (Gauderman et al. 2005; Jerrett et al. 2008).
In contrast, many PPN are based on yeast two-hybrid measurements that are measured outside a cellular and condition specific context [ 46].
In addition, the background of the fused silica coverslip was measured outside the ring and subtracted in all Raman measurements.
So far, Japanese officials have said the melting of the nuclear cores in the two plants is assumed to be "partial," and the amount of radioactivity measured outside the plants, though twice the level Japan considers safe, has been relatively modest.
As a consequence, the Ge NWs length measured outside the planar layer saturates.
