چکیده
Due to the expansion of education industry in Dubai, universities have built many dormitories. Even though Dubai has a robust indoor air quality (IAQ) stipulation for public and educational buildings, dormitories must be included. IAQ newly constructed university can significantly influenced by emissions from furniture made materials such as plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), or particle board (PB) that contains formaldehyde (HCHO). This study aimed investigate improve dormitory. As methodology, measured concentrations total volatile organic compound (TVOC) HCHO three identical rooms on different floors The experiment results showed TVOC were generally high, ranging 0.23 18.4 ppm, up two months after new dormitory, but they tended decrease over time. primary factors contributing these pollutants increased ventilation reduced occupancy. Comparing provided valuable insights into influencing quality, amount infiltration through window gaps, cooling temperatures, humidity. suggests environments improved increasing ventilation, reducing occupancy, managing use household items emit pollutants. findings inform strategies enhance building IAQ, promoting occupant health well-being. From findings, room 1A decreased 6.57 ppm at first measurement 0.13 third measurement, while 3B 1.16 5C 12.5 0.93 ppm. also decreased, with decreasing 2.56 0.22 4.50 2.82 6.88 2.15 same period.

Exposure to indoor air pollution, resulting from the burning of biomass in homes (e.g. wood, agricultural residues, leaves and dung) has been linked to a number of acute respiratory infections (ARIs). ARIs are the biggest killer of children under five and responsible for 9% of the global burden of disease. This paper provides an overview of issues relating to indoor air pollution (IAP), describ...
