VARIATION MODELS OF SOME AIR QUALITY PARAMETERS IN AN EXPERIMENTAL GLASS MODULE WITH FRUIT

Abstract

The study evaluated the variation of some air quality parameters in an experimental module, laboratory conditions, within the University of Life Sciences “King Mihai I” from Timisoara. The experimental module was represented by a cylindrical glass vessel with a volume of 5969 cm3 . Six apples, the 'Jonathan' variety, and the Temtop LKC-1000S+ 2nd device were positioned in the experimental module. Isolation of the air in the experimental module from the laboratory air was ensured. Air quality parameters (PM2.5, PM10, Particle, AQI, HCHO, TVOC, Temperature, and Humidity) were monitored at five-minute intervals, over a time interval (Time) of 105 minutes. Variable levels of correlation between air quality parameters were identified. Exponential models described the variation of air quality parameters in relation to time, in statistical safety conditions.
