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 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...

INTRODUCTION Indoor air quality (IAQ) is rated as a serious public health issue. Knowing children are accounted as more vulnerable to environmental health hazards, data are needed on air quality in schools. METHODS A project was conducted from 2007 until 2009 (SEARCH, School Environment and Respiratory Health of Children), aiming to verify links between IAQ and children's respiratory health. ...

Poor conditions leading to substandard indoor air quality (IAQ) in classrooms have been frequently cited in the literature over the past two decades. However, there is limited data linking poor IAQ in the classrooms to student performance. Whereas, it is assumed that poor IAQ results in reduced attendance and learning potential, and subsequent poor student performance, validating this hypothesi...

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...
