Dataset for 'Measurement and analysis of air quality in temporary shelters on three continents'

This dataset includes air quality data collected from field studies in refugee and displacement camps in ten locations within Peru, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Jordan, Turkey and Bangladesh. These include samples of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Particulate Matter (PM), and CO2.

The data Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) sampled over 25 minutes using Tenax A tubes, Particulate Matter (PM) sampled over 30 minutes using TSI DustTrack monitor, CO2 spot measurements in Jordan and Ethiopia only using Extech CO2 meter (model CO250), and 24hrs CO2 monitoring in two shelters in Djibouti unsing TinyTag (model TGE-0011).

Results revealed very harmful levels of pollutants that are often linked to excess mortality - with total VOC concentrations as high as 102400μg·m^-3 and PM over 3000μg·m^-3.

本数据集涵盖从秘鲁、埃塞俄比亚、吉布提、约旦、土耳其及孟加拉国境内10个地点的难民营与流离失所者营地的实地研究中采集的空气质量数据，样本类型包括挥发性有机物（Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs）、颗粒物（Particulate Matter, PM）以及二氧化碳（CO2）。
本次采集的各类样本采样细节如下：挥发性有机物（VOCs）采用Tenax A采样管进行25分钟时长的采样；颗粒物（PM）使用TSI DustTrack监测仪进行30分钟时长的采样；仅在约旦与埃塞俄比亚开展的二氧化碳现场测量采用Extech CO250型二氧化碳检测仪；此外在吉布提的两处庇护所开展了24小时连续二氧化碳监测，使用的设备为TinyTag TGE-0011型监测仪。
监测结果显示，营地内污染物浓度处于极高危害水平，此类污染物通常与超额死亡率显著相关——其中总挥发性有机物浓度最高可达102400μg·m⁻³，颗粒物浓度超过3000μg·m⁻³。
