Indoor Air (2008)

Abstract

In order to keep buildings from causing bad health to its users there is a need to control the indoor air quality (IAQ). By using a screening approach in analysing airborne particles and gases it was possible to distingiush 93% of buildings suffering from odour problems and 77% of buildings with pronounced SBS complaints.
