Summary: This study evaluated the ventilation conditions, COVID-19 risk, and indoor air quality (IAQ) in secondary school and university classrooms in Toledo, Spain. The results showed that university classrooms had better ventilation conditions and thermal comfort compared to secondary school classrooms. The IAQ was generally good in all classrooms, with outdoor sources of gaseous pollutants and heterogeneous sources of particulate matter. Controlled mechanical ventilation systems and wearing well-fitting masks were recommended to minimize the transmission risk of COVID-19 and other airborne infectious diseases.

Summary: This study used low-cost sensors to continuously measure size-resolved particulate matter and carbon dioxide in a university classroom. The decay time constant of each pollutant was determined using occupant-generated emissions, and the results showed that quantifying metabolic CO2 decay is a viable method to estimate the timescale of indoor aerosol decay. Both CO2 and particulate matter provided comparable air change rate estimates.

Summary: Residential buildings in Portugal often change their ventilation strategy post-commissioning to reduce electricity costs, despite the lack of technical support for this option. A study found that this strategy has negative effects on indoor air quality but has yet to be quantified. Monitoring CO2 levels and calculating air exchange rates revealed that with the current ventilation strategy, CO2 concentrations in all rooms exceeded 1500 ppm, with some rooms reaching 2000 ppm.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic exposed our knowledge gaps in ventilation and air pollution control. Three main approaches – increasing air exchange rate, using mobile air purifiers, and introducing active substances for disinfection – are being pursued in the absence of permanent heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Experimental results show that a combination of a built-in fan and tilted windows can achieve adequate air exchange at a low power level and without significant noise pollution. Both window ventilation and air purifiers are effective in reducing viral concentration in a room.

Summary: The study found that there are strong seasonal variations in indoor air quality in low-energy apartments, with higher levels of pollutants in winter compared to summer, likely due to ventilation rates. Although increased ventilation rates in summer help reduce formaldehyde concentrations, it also leads to outdoor pollutants entering the indoor environment, resulting in higher indoor concentrations of NO2 in summer than winter.

Summary: Monitoring the potential formaldehyde emission of wood-based materials through test chamber investigations has significantly contributed to reducing indoor formaldehyde concentrations. However, the different methodologies used in these procedures prevent direct result comparison. Empirical models for converting formaldehyde steady-state concentrations based on temperature, humidity, air change rate, and loading were developed in the 1970s and have been modified to accommodate the development of lower-emitting materials. Formaldehyde emissions from wood-based materials are complex and require nonlinear regression tools for mathematical analysis.

It was found that reducing short-wavelength light during the day did not change the concentration of u-sMEL. Personal photopic illuminance was positively correlated with u-sMEL in the reference week. The illuminance had a significant impact on u-sMEL, as shown by the evaluation of the mean of all three urine samples. However, this correlation was not found in the experimental week.
