Item Evaluación de la calidad del aire en la Universidad Santiago de Cali, medición de las partículas totales en suspensión(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Reyes Arias, Tito Reynaldo; Bernal Suárez, Diana PaolaAir pollution is one of the most severe environmental problems worldwide, and it has a particular impact on the health of human beings. Cali is a densely populated city, with topographic diversity in its land and an environment with multiple industrial and transport activities that emit different pollutants into the atmosphere that suffer unfavorably from the quality of the air that is breathed in the environment. The general objective of the project is to determine the concentration of total suspended particles and their impact on air quality in the environment of the Santiago de Cali University. The monitoring of suspended particles and the calibration of high-volume sampling equipment was carried out in accordance with Resolution No. 02308 of February 24, 1986 of the Ministry of Health and the standards of the US EPA contained in the 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, on Reference Method for the determination of particulate matter suspended in the atmosphere (High Volume Method) and the Colombian Technical Standard NTC 3704 of ICONTEC. From the results it is concluded that the particles in total suspension (PST) present the particles that exceed the corrected local norm 88.1ug / m3, thus exceeding the allowed value established by Colombian legislation, possibly generating undesirable consequences on the health of the population such as acute respiratory infections and bronchial asthma episode, exposed to environmental pollution caused by vehicular density.Item Evaluación de la calidad del aire en la Universidad Santiago de Cali.
