Measurements on the Room Air Environment of Container Ship on the Pacific South West Route

Abstract

In the previous paper, the authors studied on the room air environment of the ferry and passenger boats operated near Japan Sea. In the present paper, the same measurements were carried out for a container ship operated between Japan and U.S. Pacific coast. It is found that the air environment for the container ship is almost within the range of the Air Quality Standards for Building Maintenance and the respirable aerosol density and CO contents are influenced by smoking. Those results correspond to the ones of the previous paper. However, the room humidity of the container ship is shown to be in a better condition than the one of the ferry and passenger boats.
