A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INDOOR AIR QUALITY MONITORING OF AN INSECTICIDE SPRAYED ROOM AND A ROOM UNDER NORMAL TEMPERATURE

ABSTRACT

The determination of air pollutants from sprayed and unsprayed room was carried out using standard analytical techniques. The pollutants monitored were NO2, SO2, H2S, CO and NH3. The results for the concentration of air pollutants in the sprayed room and their AQI reveals as follows; NO2 (0.20±0.1, AQI = 220), SO2, (0.23±0.183, AQI = 42) H2S (0.13±0.183, AQI = 90), CO (3.33±0.57, AQI = 120.2) and NH3 (6.33±1.14, AQI = 110.2). The results for the concentration of air pollutants in the unsprayed room and their AQI reveals as follows NO2 (0.1±0.00, AQI = 100), SO2 (0.1±0.00, AQI = 20), H2S (0.00±0.00, AQI = 0.00), CO (0.00±0.00, AQI = 0.00) and NH3 (1.66±0.57,AQI = 33.2). The results showed that the sprayed room had the highest concentration of the analyzed air pollutants. However, when subjected to Air Quality Index (AQI) it shows that CO and NH3 were heavily polluted, NO2 was severely polluted, SO2 was moderate and H2S was polluted respectively. Comparing the result with the FEPA standard, it reveals that the room sprayed with insecticide had the highest concentration of studied pollutants when compared with room under normal temperature. Hence, it is not advisable to stay in a fumigated room because of the high concentration of air pollutant.
