Abstract | Due to the need for school buildings to protect students and provide shelters for citizens the Ministry of Education since the 921 Chi- Chi earthquake has planned and continuously promoted activities in the areas of; seismic capacity evaluation, retrofitting and demolition of old buildings in elementary and junior high schools, enhancing of seismic capacity of school buildings, and successive reconstruction to achieve the goal of building security and life safety in school. Due to the dust hazard in construction, with fine particulate matter (PM) 2.5 and PM10 having proven to be damaging to health in past studies, and for the understanding of hazard exposure and damage to health to school teachers and students, this study implemented research based on seismic retrofitting in an elementary school in New Taipei City. This study monitored indoor air quality which was being subjected to PM 2.5 and PM 10 in an elementary school in New Taipei City from December 2016 to January 2018. Firstly, it compared and analyzed the data collected at the school with the one produced by the Tu-cheng monitoring station supervised under the Environmental Protection Administration. This is to examine the relations of PM2.5 and PM10 between the two locations in the same period. Subsequently, the study compared data with studentsˇ¦ health information with the aim to understand whether the particulate matter, namely PM2.5 and PM10 produced by the retrofitting and demolition in the mentioned period, affected the health of students in the long term. Results showed through comparison of the data with the health information of students at the school that although the values of PM2.5 and PM10 obtained by the monitoring at the school were within the air quality standards after excluding conditions of air environment and seasonal factors, it still affected studentsˇ¦ health both in the short and the long terms. Thus, in this study, the reinforcement of related protection and monitoring during the period of campus construction has been made as a suggestion to schools with the needs to retrofit and demolish in the future. |
