Abstract
This thesis is finished in cooperation with the Clean Air-Ger (GLEAR) project, led by Prof. Dr.-Ing Gunther Stehr, therefore data for this study is collected from the pilot area of GLEAR project which is located at the Baynkhoshuu ger district.
This thesis assesses the indoor and outdoor air quality measurements produced by 3 different monitoring devices, DustTrack, Sensedge and online database (OpenAQ), and to reach a scientific evaluation on impacts and effects of ESP using that information.
The main focus of the measurements were fine dusts, the PM2.5 (atmospheric particulate matter that have diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers) and PM10 (atmospheric particulate matter that have diameter of less than 10 micrometers) quantity, in μm/m3 , which are known as its adverse and dangerous effect on human health due to its size.
Although the common source for the particulate emissions is predicted to be Ger area furnace, loose debris and diesel motor of old cars, the relative work for source appointment has not taken place during the study period.
From the collected measurement, effective reduction of particulate matter by ESP can be observed. However further development and studies are needed where the fuel use and other possible activities that trigger dispersion of fine dust into the atmosphere are observed and controlled.
The comparison between indoor and outdoor air quality indicates the pollution reaches its peaks during certain time period on each location due to pollution source active time period.
