Impact of surface roughness on particle penetration through building envelope leakage
Infiltration is the main ventilation style during heating and cooling seasons in residential building of China. Human inhalation exposure to particles of outdoor origin depends substantially on the degree to which particles can penetrate through building envelope. In the paper, we analysed the impact factors of particle penetration into indoor environment, and developed a mathematical model to ...

An application of ventilation efficiency concepts to the analysis of building density effects on urban flow and pollutant concentration
This paper is devoted to the study of flow and pollutant dispersion within different urban configurations by means of wind tunnel experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The influence of the building packing density was evaluated in terms of ventilation efficiency. We found that air entering the array through the lateral sides and that leaving through the street roofs ...

Mathematical modelling of lead assimilation by printing press operators in a poor indoor air quality environment
Most printing presses in developing countries are located in buildings with inadequate natural and mechanical ventilation such that the press operators work for major hours in poor indoor air quality buildings, which expose them to a wide range of health hazards such as lead poisoning. Understanding how poor air quality affects the operator's body system is studied using a methodology involving ...

Screening of volatile organic compounds as a source for indoor pollution
For a considerable period of time the presence of an increasing number of chemicals has been observed in almost all aspects of human life. This process also affects the living and working environment of man. Human development, including physical and mental health and well-being, depends on to a great degree on the surrounding environment. Considering that an average person spends a significant ...

Why monitor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) relates to a number of environmental factors inside a building that can impinge on the health, comfort, or work performance of the building’s occupants. Monitoring IAQ is vital because it is estimated that the average person spends 90% of their time breathing “indoor air”. In order to accurately understand a building’s indoor air quality, it is ...

`Green Buildings` can create problems with IAQ
The recent trend towards energy conservation measures have in some cases led to airtight building construction that can often create problems with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Some 'green buildings' (also known as ‘green construction’ and ‘sustainable buildings’) have ignored the issue of IAQ in pursuit of energy saving measures. Ventilation systems are set to minimize the ...

The influence of wall temperature on NO₂ removal and HONO levels released by indoor photocatalytic paints
Abstract Photocatalytic paints represent a promising remediation technology that has potential to be applied in mechanically ventilated buildings to improve indoor air quality. The photocatalytic paints are typically used to eliminate the gas-phase pollutants, like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Here, we demonstrate that indoor photocatalytic paints which contain ...

Indoor air quality can be improved by employing plants as walls
The practice of planting ivy to climb up the walls of buildings has existed for centuries. Now, the trend towards sustainability and green building practices can lead to the development and use of living walls as a means of filtering and improving a building’s indoor air quality. Green walls are a living, breathing, regenerating type of cladding that can be as simple as a living art installation ...
