Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in libraries is influenced by the presence of specific factors which can impact on both paper storage as well as people health. Microclimatic conditions induce and support a biodiversity pattern involving environmental and anthropic microorganisms. We used a multidisciplinary monitoring model to characterize microflora biodiversity by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). B...

Indoor environments are characterized by several pollutant sources. As people typically spend more than 90% of their time in indoor environments. Thus, indoor air quality (iAQ) is recognized as an important factor to be controlled for the occupants’ health and comfort. The majority of the monitoring systems presently available is very expensive and only allow to collect random samples. This wor...

The kindergarten’s indoor air contained a number of pollutants, including total volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and insufficient ventilation with high dioxide levels, which exceeded the quality (IAQ) guideline. presence these pollutants is caused by various factors inappropriate physical setting. Indisputably, authorities throughout countries provide guidelines f...

The density, form, and dimensions of urban morphology are important for healthy living conditions in cities, especially if they related to the climate air pollution. Morphology environmental determine relationship between open built space, width street spaces, aerodynamic characteristics wind currents, albedo, retention pollutants, as well determining radiative exchange with atmosphere. Studies...

Abstract The presented paper deals with the assessment of selected indoor environmental quality (IEQ) factors, specifically parameters thermal comfort and air (IAQ), in two buildings a modern office complex. Both are LEED certified. monitoring IEQ risk factors took place spaces (cell open-space offices) representative all occupied areas under operating conditions. results real measurements IAQ ...

The indoor air quality (IAQ) of severely polluted toilets is associated with the transmission diseases. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods and experimental measurements were used to analyze diffusion characteristics pollutants. This study investigated normalized concentration ammonia hydrogen sulfide pollutants under three ventilation systems—mixing (MV), personalized (PV), impinging je...

The literature proves an evident association between indoor radon exposure and lung cancer, even at low doses. This study brings a new approach to the study of children's exposure to radon by aiming to evaluate exposure to indoor radon concentrations in nursery and primary schools from two districts in Portugal (Porto and Bragança), considering different influencing factors (occupation patterns...

Poor indoor air quality affects the health of occupants a given structure or building. It reduces effectiveness learning and work efficiency. Among many pollutants, PM 2.5 10 dusts are extremely important. They can be eliminated using mechanical ventilation equipped with filters. Façade devices used as way to improve (IAQ) in existing buildings. For their analysis, researchers carbon dioxide tr...
