- Аннотация: Poor air quality in workplaces constitutes a great concern on human health as a 17 good fraction of our time is spent at work. In Greece, very unique workplaces are the 18 street corner kiosks, which are freestanding boxes placed on sidewalks next to city 19 streets and vehicular traffic, where one can find many consumer goods. As such, its 20 employees are exposed to both outdoor and indoor air pollutants. Very few studies have 21 examined the occupational exposure of kiosk workers to air pollutants, and thus the 22 magnitude of this unique indoor and outdoor exposure remains unknown. The objective 23 of this study is to investigate and compare the levels of indoor and outdoor particulate 24 matter (PM10 and PM2.5), ultrafine particles (UFPs) and black carbon (BC) in different 25 kiosks located in Athens, Greece, in urban-traffic and urban-background environments. 26 Continuous measurements of the above-mentioned pollutants were carried out on a 24-27 h basis over 7 consecutive days at three kiosks from September to October 2019. Indoor 28 PM10 concentrations in the urban kiosk ranged from 19.0 to 44.0 μg/m3, PM2.5 values 29 ranged from 14.0 to 33.0 μg/m3, whereas BC concentrations ranged from 1.2 to 7.0 30 μg/m3 and UFPs from almost 9.5 to 47.0×103 pt/cm3. Outdoor PM10 and PM2.5 31 measurements ranged from 29.0 to 59.0 μg/m3 and from 22.0 to 39.0 μg/m3, 32 respectively. BC outdoor concentrations ranged from 1.1 to 2.2 μg/m3. The mean hazard 33 quotient (HQ) for PM10 (4.9) and PM2.5 (4.7) among all participants was > 1.
