Micro-Characterization of Indoor Deposited Particles Using FTIR, SEM-EDS, and XRD Techniques: A Case Study of a University Campus, Bangladesh by Mamun Mahmud, Kazi ABM Mohiuddin

“…The morphological analysis by SEM depicted the shape of indoor particles as angular, micro-flake, cubic, and irregular with the major chemical compositions of C, O, Al, Si, Ca, Na, Fe, and Mg of which Si and Fe were dominant in CEC and CEL sites which most likely originated from construction activities and dust from paved and unpaved roads. The average crystallinity of studied atmospheric particles was found to be a minimum of 27.3% at RH and a maximum of 64.5% at NAB sites and the corresponding crystalline size was 11.10 nm and 42.92 nm respectively. …”
