the state of works of art exhibited inside museums can be strongly influenced by indoor air quality, due to chemical activity of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter. for that reason it is important to carry out periodic air quality controls to check if the concentration levels of air pollutants comply with the limits specified by the national laws. in this work we show results obtained i...

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...

current standards for indoor comfort are based on studies of adults, but they also apply tochildren, even though children differ in terms of metabolic rates, clothing types, activity levels, and preferences in space arrangement. children are also more sensitive to a range of environmental factors, they are usually unable to interact with their environment, and they accept indoor conditions pass...

Current increase of atmospheric air pollution rates in developing and developed countries requires efforts to design more cost effective and affordable devices. In developed countries pollution monitoring chambers are available to aid the monitoring process. The culture and the society are aware of the polluted environment side effects and measures have been taken to reduce pollution amounts. M...

This work presents an investigation of indoor air pollution using a combination biomedical engineering (BME) sensors and sensors. Indoor quality is significant factor affecting human health, monitoring controlling have become essential for environ- mental management. In this study, BME techniques are employed to analyze pollutants, sensor used measure monitor the in real-time. The study involve...

Though the high prevalence of biomass fuel use in the developing world is widely known, the use of burning biomass for cooking and heating in the developed world is under-recognized. Combustion materials including coal and wood are also used for heating in some areas of the United States. We conducted a pilot study to assess the feasibility of conducting indoor environmental monitoring in rural...
