Abstract

Atmospheric PM2.5 pollution has been very serious in many areas of China in recent years, jeopardizing human health. Human exposure to PM2.5 occurs primarily indoors, and reducing indoor PM2.5 concentrations is an important way to reduce human exposure to PM2.5. When the atmospheric PM2.5 concentration is high, people tend to close doors and windows tightly to reduce the indoor PM2.5 concentration, but this also reduces the number of air exchanges between the room and the outdoors, so that other indoor sources of gas-phase pollutants can not diffuse in time. To this end, the market launched a nuclear pore membrane technology anti-haze screen, claiming that the efficient blocking of PM2.5 at the same time can allow gas molecules to pass freely, which can be a highly efficient gas exchange, and has attracted widespread attention. In this study, the air permeability and filtration performance of anti-haze screens were examined in an environmental chamber, and the concentration status of indoor and outdoor PM2.5 in the residence before and after the application of anti-haze screens on hazy days and the number of air changes in the room were monitored in the field. The results show that the overall PM2.5 penetration coefficient of the room after applying anti-haze screens is 0.15–0.21, which is smaller than the PM2.5 penetration coefficient (0.55–0.59) when anti-haze screens are not applied, indicating that the anti-haze screens have a certain effect of blocking outdoor PM2.5 under the condition of severe outdoor pollution. However, it was measured that the average air exchange capacity of anti-haze screens was 0.18m3/m2/min, which could not reach the air exchange capacity of 0.9m3/m2/min as stated in the product publicity on hazy days and could not satisfy the air exchange capacity specified in the indoor air quality standard (30m3/h/person).
