    • Assessing the indoor air quality and their predictor variable in 21 home offices during the Covid-19 pandemic in Norway 

      Justo Alonso, Maria; Moazami, Therese Nitter; Liu, Peng; Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming; Mathisen, Hans Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In this study, concentrations of pollutants: formaldehyde, carbon dioxide (CO2), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and parameters: indoor room temperature and relative humidity (RH) were measured in 21 home offices ...

    • Comparison of Three Real-Time Measurement Methods for Airborne Ultrafine Particles in the Silicon Alloy Industry 

      Kero, Ida; Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      The aim of this study was to compare the applicability and the correlation between three commercially available instruments capable of detection, quantification, and characterization of ultrafine airborne particulate matter ...

    • Evaluation of low-cost formaldehyde sensors calibration 

      Justo Alonso, Maria; Madsen, Henrik; Liu, Peng; Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming; Jørgensen, Thomas Berg; Christiansen, Even Johan; Myrvang, Olav Aleksander; Bastien, Diane; Mathisen, Hans Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Low-cost sensors (LCS) are becoming ubiquitous in the market; however, calibration is needed before reliable use. An evaluation of the calibration of eight identical pre-calibrated formaldehyde LCS is presented here. The ...

    • Exposure to ultrafine particles in the ferroalloy industry using a logbook method 

      Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming; Kero, Ida; Blom, Aleksander; Grove, Esten Eide; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background: It is difficult to assess workers’ exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) due to the lack of personal sampling equipment available for this particle fraction. The logbook method has been proposed as a general ...

    • Holistic methodology to reduce energy use and improve indoor air quality for demand-controlled ventilation 

      Justo Alonso, Maria; Liu, Peng; Marman, Stine Flage; Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming; Mathisen, Hans Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Ventilation control logics are usually based on the control indicators of occupancy. However, strategies including control of contaminants not linked to occupancy are requested and more feasible with the introduction in ...

    • Inflammatory effects of exposure to different stone types used in Norwegian asphalt 

      Nitter, Therese Bergh; Hilt, Bjørn; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch; Buhagen, Morten; Dahlman, Hans Jørgen; Øvrevik, Johan; Refsnes, Magne Arnold; Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming (SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)
      During the winter in Scandinavian countries, up to 90% of traffic-related particulate matter (PM) is from non-exhaust emissions sources such as asphalt wear. Measures to reduce urban PM have focused mainly on exhaust ...

    • Measurements of indoor air quality in four Norwegian schools 

      Justo Alonso, Maria; Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming; Mathisen, Hans Martin (SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)
      Children spend a minimum of six hours per day in Norwegian schools. Their exposure to different indoor air quality it is known to affect their performance. It is very common to use demand-controlled ventilation ...

    • Real-Time Measurements and Characterization of Airborne Particulate matter from a Primary Silicon Carbide Productin Plant 

      Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming; Kero, Ida (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Airborne particulate matter in the silicon carbide (SiC) industry is a known health hazard. The aims of this study were to elucidate whether the particulate matter generated inside the Acheson furnace during active operation ...
