Indoor air monitoring: Sharing and accessing data via the Information Platform for chemical monitoring (IPCHEM)

Using webcam for indoor air quality monitoring

Nowadays application of webcam becomes more and more popular. Thus webcams are being developed to have better resolution but lower cost. This has motivated us to evaluate the suitability of using webcam for indoor air quality monitoring. This monitoring involved determining the concentration of particulate matter with diameter less than 10 micron (PM10). An algorithm was developed to convert mu...

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring and Control

Data-driven persistent monitoring of Indoor Air Systems

Persistent monitoring of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) within and around buildings and structures is critical to reduce risk of indoor health concerns. Specifically, IAQ issues in large integrated buildings may stem from inadequate ventilation and/or faults in the complex HVAC systems that together with control and communication systems can be considered as complex Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs). We ...

The Monitoring of Fungal Contamination in Indoor Air of Two Hospitals in Shiraz

Introduction: Hospitals, as one of the important elements in the health system, play an important role in patient’s health. Fungi are one of the effective parameters on indoor air quality. This study aimed to compare of fungal contamination of two hospitals in Shiraz City. Materials and Methods: Sampling was conducted based on NIOSH 0800 standard (1.5 meters above the ground level with one sta...

A Modular IoT Platform for Real-Time Indoor Air Quality Monitoring

The impact of air quality on health and on life comfort is well established. In many societies, vulnerable elderly and young populations spend most of their time indoors. Therefore, indoor air quality monitoring (IAQM) is of great importance to human health. Engineers and researchers are increasingly focusing their efforts on the design of real-time IAQM systems using wireless sensor networks. ...
