Quality and Indoor Air treatment
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In developed countries, between 70% and 90% of the life time are spent in confined spaces (housing, transport, etc.). Air quality in these closed spaces is generally inferior than outside. Our lifestyles and the growing use of new products and materials create cocktails of chemicals compounds (COV, CIV...) that can cause an increase of worrying diseases such as asthma, allergies or even cancer. These pollutants are particularly present in indoor air. These increasing public health problems gives rise to the development of devices for the treatment of indoor air. However,indoor air contains a lot of chemical substances showing very different physicochemical properties. The “Laboratoire de Thermique, Energétique et Procédés†(LaTEP) studies the coupling of treatment processes, such as biofiltration coupled to adsorption.

This article aims to show how the complex relationships between social sciences research and “publicity†(Habermassian meaning) determine what researching may say. In this perspective, it is necessary to discuss th...
Introduction to Micro-finance
Micro-finance appears today as the most promising tool in the struggle against poverty and banking exclusion. By providing micro-credit, collecting saving and supplying microinsurance, micro finance institutions (MF...
The Breaking Bad Constellation. Analysis of the Newly Found Complementarity between Television and Internet
The hypothesis developed in this paper is that television and Internet are complementary. Both media collaborate in order to propose genuine transmedia narratives. These news adaptations are not identical to movie or n...
