Can CO2 sensors in the ventilation system of a pool facility help reduce the variability in the trihalomethane concentration observed in indoor air?
Nitter, Therese Bergh; Grande, Morten S.; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch; Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming; Carlucci, Salvatore; Cao, Guangyu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Volatile and hazardous compounds are formed during the chlorination of pool water. Monitoring components in the air, such as the four trihalomethanes; chloroform, dichlorobromomethane, dibromochloromethane and bromoform ... -
Comparison of trihalomethanes in the air of two Indoor swimming pool facilities using different type of chlorination and different types of water
Nitter, Therese Bergh; Kampel, Wolfgang; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch; Aas, Bjørn (Journal article, 2017)Certain aspects of the distribution of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in the air of indoor swimming pools, the exposure of the users, and possible health effects, have not been well documented. To determine the distribution ... -
Covariation amongst pool management, trichloramine exposure and asthma for swimmers in Norway
Nitter, Therese Bergh; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The association between asthma and exposure to the air in swimming facilities has been acknowledged. However, the variation in, long-term exposure to and management of the respiratory irritant trichloramine (NCl3) is not ... -
Determinants of Exposure and Variability of Trihalomethanes in the Air of Three Indoor Swimming Pools
Nitter, Therese Bergh; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction Negative health effects related to long-term exposure to volatile trihalomethanes (THMs) formed during the chlorination of pool water is recognized, but the determinants causing the concentrations to vary ... -

Luftkvalitet i innendørs svømmeanlegg - Sammenligning av trihalometaner i to svømmeanlegg som har ulik type klorering og ulik type vann
Nitter, Therese Bergh (Master thesis, 2017)Svømmebasseng brukes både til sport og rekreasjon og er populært blant mennesker i alle aldersgrupper. I Norge benyttes ofte klor til å desinfisere badevannet, enten alene eller sammen med UV- bestråling. Desinfisering er ... -
Modelling the concentration of chloroform in the air of a Norwegian swimming pool facility-A repeated measures study
Nitter, Therese Bergh; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Certain volatile disinfection by-products (DBPs) off-gassing from pool water can cause eye and skin irritations, respiratory problems, and even cancer. No guidelines or recommendations concerning DBPs in the air exist in ... -
Strategies for assessing exposure to managing air concentrations of disinfection by-products in indoor swimming facilities
Nitter, Therese Bergh (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:322, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Norway has approximately 900 public, private, and leisure swimming facilities used for swimming education, recreation, and sports. Chlorine is the most common disinfectant used in swimming pool water to prevent the growth ... -
UV treatment and air quality in a pool facility
Nitter, Therese Bergh; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We investigated how UV treatment of indoor pool water affects the concentration of trihalomethanes (THMs) and chloramines (NCl3) in the air above one therapy pool. One-hundred and sixty-two samples of tTHMs (sum of the ...
