Indoor air quality in a chemistry laboratory environment

The indoor built environment is the result of the interaction between the site, climate, building type (original design and later modifications of it), construction techniques, sources of chemical, physical and biological pollutants (building materials and furnishings, processes and activities withi...

description The indoor built environment is the result of the interaction between the site, climate, building type (original design and later modifications of it), construction techniques, sources of chemical, physical and biological pollutants (building materials and furnishings, processes and activities within the building, and outdoor sources), and building occupants. Physical factors such as temperature, moisture, light, vibration and noise, contribute to the worsening of indoor air quality problems. Thus, we are dealing with a complex situation, involving combined action of physical factors with the pollutant chemical species, taking into account the emission rate and inadequate ventilation, all leading ultimately to negative effects on occupants’ health.
