Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
People spend more than 80% of their times indoors. Indoor air pollution contributes to higher disability-adjusted life-years. Indoor air quality is closely related to human health. The reason is that many types of pollutants co-exist in indoor environments, for example, organic compounds (formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, etc.), inorganic compounds (O3, CO, etc.), particles, and so on. Exploring the sources, releases, migration and distribution, sinks, and influencing factors of these pollutants is crucial for understanding indoor air pollution. In addition, the correlation between indoor air quality and health, as well as the study of control methods for indoor air pollution, are equally crucial for improving indoor air quality and protecting human health.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to explore the recent challenges and developments of indoor air quality, control, and health in buildings. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Indoor air quality (IAQ);
- Effect of outdoor air pollution on indoor environments;
- Source screening and emission;
- Sink effect;
- Transport and distribution;
- Volatile organic compounds;
- Semi-volatile organic compounds;
- Indoor pollution control;
- Ventilation and built environment;
- Air purification;
- Indoor air quality and health.
