Abstract in Portuguese | Durante as duas últimas décadas, têm aumentado o interesse científico sobre os efeitos da qualidade do ar de interiores na saúde humana, particularmente nos edifícios climatizados artificialmente.
Atualmente, sabe-se que uma grande variedade de substâncias químicas, materiais e agentes derivados biológicamente nos ambientes interiores, estão associados a uma grande variedade de sintomas/doenças.
Trabalhadores de um grande terminal aeroportuário, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, vinham reclamando sobre a qualidade do ar e conforto ambiental. Devido as dificuldades usualmente encontradas em determinar as causas exatas das reclamações, um questionário foi administrado a fim de detectar a natureza e distribuição espacial das reclamações referente a
saúde e conforto dos trabalhadores, visando identificar associações entre as respostas dos trabalhadores e as condições de trabalho. Os sintomas mais reportados foram: secura nos olhos, lacrimejamento, nariz entupido, dor de cabeça, dentre outros. Foram reportados pelos trabalhadores insatisfação quanto as condições ambientais (ventilação, umidade e temperatura) no interior do prédio.
O sítio estudado foi escolhido por ser um ambiente diferenciado devido a sua complexidade, pois contém todas as características de um ambiente de uso público e coletivo com uma enorme variedade de atividades e formas de ocupação.
Alguns parâmetros de qualidade do ar foram determinados: Matéria Particulada Total (MPT), Compostos Orgânicos Voláteis (COV's), Compostos Orgânicos Voláteis Totais (COV'sT) e fungos totais viáveis. Os resultados encontrados mostram que as concentrações de MPT e de COV's estavam abaixo dos limites legalmente estabelecidos. Os fungos
detectados foram na sua maioria, não patogênicos, apesar de alguns gêneros apresentarem alta contagem e podendo causar riscos à saúde apesar de estarem dentro do Padrão Referencial
Brasileiro para este tipo de biodispersante. Os níveis encontrados para os contaminantes do ar no interior do Terminal Aeroportuário estudado demonstraram que a higienização e a renovação do ar no sistema de aclimatação artificial do ambiente não foram eficientes o
suficiente para mante-los em níveis baixos. | pt_BR |

Abstract | During the last two decades there has been increasing concern within the scientific community over the effects of indoor air quality on health.
Actually, there is a wide variety of chemical substances, biological agents and biologically derives materials in the indoor environment, and these are associated with a range of illnesses.
In recent years, employees in a big airport terminal at the city of Rio de Janeiro have expressed their concerns about air quality and work environment discomforts. Because of the difficulties usually encountered determining the exact causes of such concerns about the
building environment. A questionnaire was undertaken to assess the nature and spatial distribution of employee health and comfort concerns and to attempt to identify associations between employee responses and workplace conditions. The most commonly reported workrelates symptoms among employees were: dry eyes, sore eyes, stuffy nose, headache, etc. The
respondents reported that they were unsatisfied with the environmental conditions (air movement, humidity and temperature) inside the building.
The place studied is a differentiated ambient because of its complexity, it has all the characteristics of a public place with an enormous variety of activities and types of occupation.
The selected air quality parameters that were investigated indoor and outdoor of a passenger terminal the studied parameters were: Total Particulate Matter (TPM), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's), Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC's) and airborne
viable fungi. The results showed that the concentration of TPM and VOC's were below the threshold limit values. The detected fungi were mainly non-pathogenic, some genus had high counting but below the Brazilian Reference Standard, it can bring risks to the health. The
levels found for the indoor air contaminants demonstrated that hygienization and exchange of the Air Conditioning System were not efficient enough to keep the levels down. | en |
