CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
Air pollution occurs when the air contains gases, dust, fumes or odor in harmful
amounts (EPA Victoria, 2006). In an article published in 2010, Ned Haluzan states that
breathing polluted air is somewhat similar to smoking, and harmful particles of air
pollution can, (just like cigarettes), create conditions to develop heart and lung diseases
that could eventually prove fatal. The people who already suffer from asthma, allergies,
and diseases resulting in breathing problems are usually the worst affected. There is also
the danger of mixing up the moisture from the pollutants in the air. The combination of
these two can create other serious environmental problems such as acid rain which not
only kills trees and plants but can also lead to ground water pollution. The air pollution
can also become significant contributing factor to water and soil pollution, resulting in a
massive multidimensional pollution of a certain ecosystem.
Air pollution can be prevented in numerous ways, like reducing the use of fossil
fuels, therefore using alternative sources of energy, for example solar energy,
hydroelectric energy, and wind energy (Sandhyarani, 2010). Minimizing the use of fossil
fuels can also reduce air pollution.
People need to have knowledge about the air quality of a certain location/area so
that one would know whether the area/location is safe or not. One method of determining
air quality is by the use of petrolatum. Petrolatum or commonly known as petroleum jelly

is a greasy jelly-like substance consisting of a mixture of semi-solid hydrocarbons
obtained from petroleum; it is used as a base for ointments in leather dressing, etc.
(Petrolatum; Websters New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, 2006). Petrolatum is
hydrophobic (water-repelling) and insoluble in water. (Petroleum Jelly; Wikipedia,
2011). Moisture in the air or even a small amount of water will not affect the petrolatum
for it is hydrophobic. Petroleum Jelly has also a translucent appearance, therefore
particulates that will be stick to it can be easily be determined. The concept of this
prototype is similar to that of a fly trap; it would trap and collect flies so that we can
calculate how many flies were there base on the data collected. Therefore petrolatum may
be useful in determining the air quality.
The researchers in this study aim to design, fabricate, and evaluate the
performance of a portable Air Quality Indicator Prototype (AQIP) using
Apollo Petroleum Jelly, to know whether if it is effective in determining the air quality.
B. Statement of the Problem
This research aims to design, fabricate, and evaluate the performance of a portable Air
Quality Indicator Prototype (AQIP).
It seeks to answer the following questions:
1. Is AQIP an effective determiner of air quality?2. Is AQIP a reliable determiner of air quality?
C. Objective of the Study
This research aims to design, fabricate, and evaluate the performance of a
portable Air Quality Indicator Prototype (AQIP) with the use of petrolatum.

D. Hypothesis
1. The Air Quality Indicator Prototype (AQIP) is not an effective indicator ofair quality.
2. The Air Quality Indicator Prototype (AQIP) is not a reliable indicator ofair quality.
E. Significance of the Study
This study aims to contribute to the determination and prevention of air pollution
outdoors, as well as contribute a portable and cheaper way to determine the air quality of
a certain location/area. This will also help us to have an idea in controlling pollution. This
prototype can be also used in small-time industrial and commercial structures. This will
also help other researchers by providing them idea that it is possible to develop an Air
Quality Indicator Prototype by using petrolatum.
F. Scope and Limitations of the Study
The researchers limit the use of Apollo Petroleum Jelly, one of the many
petroleum jelly products available in our area. This study focuses on the designing and
fabricating a portable Air Quality Indicator Prototype (AQIP) that makes use of
petrolatum. The performance of the Air Quality Indicator Prototype (AQIP) will be
evaluated and recorded.Testing of the air will be held in public places where most people
usually pass or go, like in the classrooms, comfort rooms, and parks. The study will be

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Petrolatum (also known as petroleum jelly or paraffin jelly) can be defined as a
semisolid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained through the dewaxing of heavy mineral oils.
Petrolatum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons derived from the distillation of
petroleum. Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen. The
hydrocarbons that make up petrolatum belong to the methane (saturated or alkane) family
of hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2N+2. Petrolatum is also a product of the
fractional distillation of crude oil. (Gale T., 2008)
Petroleum jellies ranges in color from white to yellowish to amber. It is
practically odorless and tasteless, oily liquid. It melts over a wide range, from about 38C
to about 55C (100F to 131F). It is insoluble in water but soluble
in dichloromethane, chloroform, benzene, diethyl ether, carbon disulfide and oil
of turpentine (Petroleum Jelly; Wikipedia, 2011).
Petrolatum is an example of a colloid; a hydrocolloid. A hydrocolloid is defined
as a colloid system wherein the colloid particles are dispersed in water. A hydrocolloid
has colloid particles spread throughout water (H2O). Hydrocolloids can be either
reversible (when the physical condition of the hydrocolloid is changed by temperature) or
irreversible (when the physical condition of the hydrocolloid is not changed by
temperature). Other examples of hydrocolloids include xanthan gum, gum Arabic, guar
gum, locust bean gum, cellulose derivatives as carboxymethyl cellulose, alginate and
-

starch (Colloid; Wikipedia, 2011). They can be simply defined as a substance that
forms a gel in contact with water.
Hydrocolloids are a special type of colloids. Colloids are a type of mixture A
colloid is composed of two phases namely, dispersion medium and dispersed phase.
Colloids are the mixtures in which dispersion phase is evenly distributed in the dispersion
medium. Colloidal system can be solid, liquid or gaseous. Colloidal systems and their
study were introduced by a Scottish scientist Thomas Graham (TutorVista.com, 2010).
Colloids have the appearance of solutions. One property of colloid systems that
distinguishes them from true solutions is that colloidal particles scatter light. If a beam of
light, such as that from a flashlight, passes through a colloid, the light is reflected and
scattered by the colloidal particles and the path of the light can therefore be observed
(The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 6th ed., 2007).
When a beam of light passes through a true solution, there is little scattering of the
light that the path of the light cannot be seen and the small amount of scattered light
cannot be detected except by very sensitive instruments. The scattering of light by
colloids, known as the Tyndall effect, was first explained by the British physicist John
Tyndall in 1869. Some colloids are translucent because of the Tyndall effect, which is the
scattering of light by particles in the colloid. Other colloids may be opaque or have a
slight color (The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 6th ed., 2007).
When an ultra microscope is used to examine a colloid, the colloidal particles
appear as tiny points of light in constant motion. This motion, called Brownian
movement, helps keep the particles in suspension.

Absorption is another characteristic of colloids, since the finely divided colloidal
particles have a large surface area exposed. The presence of colloidal particles has little
effect on the colligative properties of a solution. (The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia
6th ed., 2007)
Petrolatum occurs in a semi-solid or liquid form. The semi-solid form is also
called petroleum jelly or mineral jelly and is commercially available under a number
of trade names, including Kremoline, Pureline, Sherolatum, and Vaseline. The liquid
form is also known as liquid paraffin, mineral oil, or white mineral oil; such products are
sold commercially under trade names such as Alboline, Drakeol, Frigol, Kremol, and
Paroleine (Chemical Compounds, 2008).
The beneficial properties of petroleum jellies for skin care and treatment have
been extensively reported (Morrison, 1996). Petrolatum has a wide variety of uses,
ranging from personal care and medical applications to industrial uses. The solid form,
such as Vaseline is used as a topical ointment for the treatment of dry, cracked skin and
to reduce the risk of infection. (Gale T., 2008). However, the use of petrolatum can cause
some adverse effects. The prolonged use of petroleum can block off the skins pores
resulting in a thick layer of jelly that covers the skin and also lead to the formation of
another layer that mostly comprises secreted toxins, and this second layer leads to the
complications like acne, skin irritation, dryness, and other diseases. It can also cause
diarrhea, shortness of breath, abdominal pains, and irritation in the eyes, skin, and nose.
Petrolatum is also noted as a possible cancer risk, breast cancer to be specific
(Petroleum Jelly Possible Cancer Risk; Green and Chic, 2008)

Air is a combination of many gases, each one having its own physical properties,
in which varying amounts of tiny solid and liquid particles are suspended. Air is made up
of 78.084% Nitrogen, 20.946% Oxygen, 0.934% Argon, 0.038% Carbon Dioxide, and
trace gases like Neon (0.00182%), Helium (0.000524%), Methane (0.00015%), Krypton
(0.000114%), and Hydrogen (0.00005%). Water vapor, ozone, and aerosols (tiny
suspended solid and liquid particles in the air) are variable components of air (Tarbuck &
Lutgens, 2009).
Air quality, as Wikipedia (2011) defines, is the measure of the condition of air
relative to the requirements of one or more biotic species and/or to any human need or
purpose (Air Quality; Wikipedia, 2011). The measure of air quality means the
measurement of the pollutants in the air (Air Quality; Dictionary.com, 2011). Bad air
quality means there are a lot of air pollutants in the air which include fine particles.
Dr. Sarath Guttikunda said in a blog published in 2007 that Air Quality Index
(AQI) is an index determined by calculating the degree of pollution in the city or at the
monitoring point and includes five main pollutants - particulate matter, ground-level
ozone, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Each of these pollutants
have an air quality standard which is used to calculate the overall AQI for the city.
Simultaneously, one can also establish the limiting pollutant(s), resulting in the
estimating AQI. Government agencies use the AQI to characterize the quality of the air at
a given location.
In numbers, AQI is represented between 0 to 500 with 0 representing good air and
500 representing hazardous air. For better understanding and presentation, the AQI is
broken down into six categories, each color coded with the number scale.
-
8/3/2019 Dimaocor_espejo Manuscript (1st Attempt) (1)
13/24
Good (green) is for numbers 0 through 50 and means satisfactory air quality.
Moderate (yellow) is 51-100 and is for acceptable air quality. Unhealthy for Sensitive
Groups (tan) is 101-150 and means sensitive individuals with sensitive skin may be
affected. Unhealthy (red) is 151-200 and almost everyone may experience problems.
Very unhealthy (pink) 210-300 is a health alert, where everyone may have health
problems. Hazardous (purple) over 300 numbers may contribute to emergency health
problems and will affect most people.
There are units used to measure air quality. Parts per million (ppm), parts per
billion (ppb), micrograms per cubic meter (/m
3
), and soiling index (also known as
coefficient of haze, COH) are common means of reporting air quality measurement
(Environment Software and Services Austria, 2011).
When harmful substances are introduced to the air, the AQI increases (worsens),
meaning that the air is polluted. Air pollution occurs when the air contains gases, dust,
fumes or odor in excess and harmful amounts. These amounts could be harmful to the
health and could cause damage to plants and materials. According to EPA Victoria in an
article published in 2006, air pollution has now been one of theg major problems faced by
every country worldwide. Air pollution contains air pollutants that mainly occur as a
result of gaseous discharges from industry and motor vehicles. There are also natural
sources such as wind-blown dust and smoke from fires. Some forms of air pollution
create global problems, such as upper atmosphere ozone depletion and global warming.
These problems are very complex, and require international cooperative efforts to find
solutions (EPA Victoria, 2006).

In article published in 2010, Sevier states that the polluted air contains five main
pollutants that can cause health effects. They are carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of
nitrogen (NOx), VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and ozone, sulphur dioxide, and
fine particles.
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas produced mainly by petrol engines; it
damages respiratory and circulatory body functions and reduces oxygen supply to major
organs including the heart. Oxides of nitrogen are found in vehicle and smokestack
exhaust; it compromise lung functions and can cause respiratory and viral illness, notably
in children (Sevier, 2010).
VOCs are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. It includes chemicals
that may have adverse health effects, either short or long term. VOC concentrations are
consistently higher indoors than outdoors, and are emitted by several products which
include paints and lacquers, paint strippers, pesticides, building materials and furnishings,
office equipment such as copiers and printers, correction fluids and carbonless copy
paper, graphics and craft materials including glues and adhesive permanent markers
(United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2011). VOCs react with sunlight and
nitrous oxide and form ground level ozone, which is capable of travelling thousands of
miles; although in the stratosphere, ozone provides vital protection against the sun's
ultraviolet radiation, at ground level it can exacerbate health conditions such as asthma
and lung disease. (Sevier, 2010)
Sulphur dioxide is created through the combustion of fossil fuels that contain
sulphur compounds; it can contribute to various lung conditions even at moderate levels
of concentration. Fine particlesinclude dusts, sulphates and nitrates from road traffic and
-
8/3/2019 Dimaocor_espejo Manuscript (1st Attempt) (1)
15/24
other sources. These fine particles can be carcinogenic and are able to pass through the
lungs into the bloodstream, causing inflammation as well as more serious conditions
(Sevier, 2010).
This study focuses more about the particulates. Particles of concern include both
very small, "fine" particles (that can only be seen through an electron microscope) and
somewhat larger "coarse" dust particles. Fine particles have been more clearly linked to
the most serious health problems.
According to AirNow in August 2003, particles in the air are a mixture of solids
and liquid droplets that vary in size and are often referred to as "particulate matter." Some
particles - those less than 10 micrometers in diameter - pose the greatest health concern
because they can pass through the nose and throat and get deep into the lungs.
Ten micrometers in diameter is just a fraction of the diameter of a single human
hair. Particles larger than 10 micrometers do not usually reach the lungs, but they can
irritate the eyes, nose and throat (AirNow, August 2003).
Very small particles with diameters less than 2.5 micrometers are called "fine
particles." They are produced any time fuels such as coal, oil, diesel or wood are burned.
Fine particles come from fuel used in everything from power plants to wood stoves and
motor vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, buses and marine engines). These particles are even
produced by construction equipment, agricultural burning and forest fires. "Coarse" dust
particles range in size from 2.5 to 10 micrometers in diameter. Particles of this size are
produced during crushing or grinding and from vehicles traveling on paved or unpaved
roads (AirNow, August 2003).

According to the Ministry for the Environment on an article published in 2008,
Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) comes from sources like dusty roads, soil tiling,
quarries and fuel combustion. Particles with a diameter less than 10 microns (PM10) and
Particles with a diameter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) come from sources such as
burning coal, oil, wood and light fuel oil in domestic fires, transportation and industrial
processes. Natural sources of particles include sea salt, dust, pollens and volcanic
activity. PM2.5 is also formed through chemical reactions in the atmosphere. (Ministry for
the Environment, January 2008)
AirNow also mentioned in an article published in August 2003 that particles can
aggravate heart diseases such as congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease. If a
person has a heart disease, particles may cause him to experience chest pain, palpitations,
shortness of breath and fatigue. Particles have also been associated with cardiac
arrhythmias and heart attacks. Particles can also aggravate lung diseases such as asthma
and bronchitis, causing increased medicationuse and doctor visits. If a person has lung
disease, and the person is exposed to particles, the person may not be able to breathe as
deeply or vigorously as normal. The person may have respiratory symptoms including
coughing, phlegm, chest discomfort, wheezing and shortness of breath. The person also
may experience these symptoms even if the person is healthy, although he is unlikely to
experience more serious effects. Particles can also increase the susceptibility to the
bodys respiratory infections.
Particles in the air causes so much damage. Peoples health need to be protected
from those air particles but first one must know if there are any in the area. One device
called TSI P-Trak Ultrafine Particle Counter, records particulates in the air. It is a
-
8/3/2019 Dimaocor_espejo Manuscript (1st Attempt) (1)
17/24
particulate monitor that is used to measure specific sizes of material suspended in air. It
uses the same fundamental technology behind TSI's condensation particle counters
(CPCs), well-proven instruments that have been used in research and industrial
applications around the world for many years. In fact, CPCs have been used for decades
to track and record particle sources. The P-Trak UPC comes with everything you need to
start solving tough IAQ (indoor air quality problems). The device is also battery-operated
(Pine Environmental Services, Inc., 2009). This device costs much and it is to no avail in
our area. But an alternative method for determining the quality of air without the use of
such devices and without spending too much money, can be done. One way to determine
the quality of air is by using petrolatum as a trap for particulates found the air, according
to an article in eHOW published in 2011. The chances are great for the determination of
the quality of air because of the translucency of the petrolatum; the particulates stuck in
the petrolatum can be easily seen.
Fine particles in the air reduce visibility because they scatter or absorb light. This
is usually associated with small particles or certain gases in the atmosphere and can occur
at night or during the day.

Constructing the Wood Base
With the help of a carpenter, the wood base of the prototype will be
constructed. The 152 x 216 x 10 MM block of wood will have a rectangular cut in the
middle. This rectangular cut will be separated, but will have to remain undistorted.
The rectangular cut would then be attached back with the use of the two small hinges.
The sides of the rectangular cut will be carved so that plastic strips can have a grip at
the sides. The wood surface will be painted with a primary coating (yellow paint),
followed by the secondary coating (white paint). The paint will help achieve a
smoother surface.

Preparing the Petroleum Impregnated Plastic Strips
-
8/3/2019 Dimaocor_espejo Manuscript (1st Attempt) (1)
20/24
The two layers of laminating film (without paper in between) will be
heated using the laminating machine. It will be cooled and then the petrolatum will be
spread on the surface of one side of the plastic. To achieve an even spreading of the
petrolatum on the heated laminating film, the heated laminating film (spread with
petrolatum) will be covered with the thin plastic then will be rolled in the laminating
machine. This way, excess petroleum jelly would be pressed outside and the resulting
amount will be spread evenly on the plastic.
Preparation of Set-ups
In the preparation of set-ups, the plastic strips will be placed inside the
wood base. The prototype will be hung outdoors to collect the fine particles. Every
two days, the plastic strip will be removed and the results will be recorded.
D. Data GatheringDuring the experimentation, the amount of fine particles will be
determined every two days. After every two days, the plastic strip (with the fine
particles collected) will be flashed with a beam of light, using a flashlight. The
fine particles stuck in the set-up will absorb the light, then the intensity of the
light shown will determine the air quality.
E. Statistical ToolTo verify that there is a significant difference among the results of the Air
Quality Indicator Prototype (AQIP), the T-test will be used in our study.
