  <p>The Land Use Regression (LUR) model is now used for exposure assessment in air pollution epidemiologic studies rather than measuring/monitoring pollutants. However, there have been few epidemiologic studies using the LUR models and characteristics of the model have been unclear in Japan. To determine whether the LUR model can be applicable to air pollution epidemiologic studies as the method of exposure assessment in Japan, we developed the LUR models for NO₂, NO_x, and SPM in Yokohama.</p><p>The annual means of NO_x, NO₂ or SPM measured at 29 monitoring stations in Yokohama city in 2005 were regressed on land use data such as residential/industrial area, traffic volume, etc, using a manual stepwise method. The adjusted <i>R</i>² values for the NO_x and NO₂ regressions were 0.88 and 0.81, respectively. The adjusted <i>R</i>² for the SPM regression was 0.55. The distributions of the concentrations were mapped using Arc-GIS software. The LUR models we developed and the concentration maps may be valid compared to other models and the LUR models developed in the western countries. However, a much higher resolution for the concentration distribution based on the LUR models might be necessary for epidemiological studies of traffic-related air pollution in Japan. We should be necessary to consider the measurement points, etc, necessary for developing the LUR models.</p>

  A new sampling method of nicotine in ETS was developed by using a semi-active sampler, which enables simultaneous collection of nicotine in the gas phase and that adsorbed on the fine particles in the ETS. The semi-active sampler is a tube-type sampler made of aluminum in which a polyurethane form (PUF) was placed as an adsorption medium for nicotine. Air sample is introduced to the sampler by the flow induced by a small fun installed at the outlet of the sampler. Nicotine of both gas phase and adsorbed on particulates in the sampled air would be captured onto the adsorbent, PUF. The PUF used as an adsorbent was pretreated with L-ascorbic acid, which improved the holding performance of the collected nicotine onto the PUF. The average concentration of nicotine in a smoking room sampled and determined by the active sampling method using XAD-4 showed a good linear relationship (<i>R</i>² = 0.99) with the amount of nicotine collected by the semi-active sampling method. The sampling rate of the semi-active sampler was determined 578 mL/min, which is 60 times greater than that of a conventional passive sampler (modified MoNIC). The present method was applied to some field studies on the measurement of personal exposure to nicotine in the ETS, with which the inhaled cigarette equivalent (CE) by a passive smoker can be estimated.

  It is important to the VOC concentration reduction in the cabin that we predict the cabin from the VOC measurements of the interior part.This research studies that we predict VOC concentration in the cabin of driving mode. In this study, we measured VOCs concentration of vehicle interior in parking mode and driving mode, it was to clarify the change in VOCs concentration .And, we studied clarify the mechanism for the concentration change (1.vehicle interior temperature by air conditioner operation 2.vehicle ambient temperature by air conditioner operation. 3. VOC dissolved amount of the condensed water of heat exchanger. 4.the amount of adsorbed to heat exchanger. 5.Ventilation rate) , and we propose a method to prediction VOCs concentration of vehicle interior in driving mode.
