Abstract
Particulate matter is one of the most important indoor air pollutants that could cause a number of adverse health effects. Quantification of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) in homes in the city of Alexandria was carried out. In the present study, 15 of the 21 homes showed a higher average indoor TSP concentration than the outdoor sample, and the median indoor/outdoor ratio was 1.08. Moreover, the outdoor and the mean indoor TSP concentrations were found to correlate significantly. Concentrations of indoor particulate matter were found to be influenced by indoor sources and human activities as well as outdoor particles.
