Society

Different profiles could be included in this category within the K-HEALTHinAIR project.

Of course, individuals from general society (citizens) who are interested in IAQ topic, but also students, associations of patients and families suffering from diseases such as COPD, environmental organisations or indoor places workers.

The knowledge Sharing Module provides them useful information and practical guidelines to maintain and improve IAQ.

Different factors which can affect IAQ in our houses. Smokers.

In this K-pill, we make a simple analysis of smoking indoors in different parameters measuring the air quality. To do so, we use data from one week in three houses with different conditions.

Relative humidity indoors. Case of low relative humidity.

In this K-pill, we will see the impact of using plants, in fact a vertical garden, indoors in order to keep the relative humidity of the air in proper values in dry indoor environments.

The Impact of Cooking Systems on Indoor Air Quality

Even when smoke is not visible, gas cooking systems emit particulate matter and harmful gases, alongside the usual CO2 and water produced during combustion.

Particulate Matter, Fine Dust and VOCs

Every day, we breathe in millions of tiny airborne particles, some of which can have serious implications for our health. But what exactly are Particulate Matter (PM) and Fine Dust, and why should we be concerned?
