Enhancing Indoor Air Quality: Monitoring, Analysis and Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding and addressing indoor air quality is vital for our well-being. The air we breathe in indoor atmospheres can significantly impact our health, comfort, and productivity. For instance, poor indoor air quality has been significantly linked to an increased risk of developing respiratory issues, allergies, headaches, fatigue, and even more severe health problems over time. Investing in research on technologies and practices to enhance indoor air quality ensures healthier living and educational and working environments while promoting a better overall quality of life for everyone.

This Special Issue aims to spotlight advancements in understanding and improving indoor air quality (IAQ). It focuses on research that delves into the multifaceted aspects of IAQ in different indoor settings, encompassing factors such as pollutant diversity and concentration, ventilation systems, building materials, occupant behaviors, and their collective impact on health and comfort.

We welcome contributions spanning various disciplines—environmental science, engineering, architecture, public health, and more—that explore IAQ from different angles. This encompasses studies on innovative monitoring techniques, modeling approaches, intervention strategies, and policy implications to foster healthier indoor environments.

We aim to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange insights and discoveries, fostering a deeper understanding of IAQ's complexities and its direct correlations with human health and productivity. By facilitating a collection of diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research, this Special Issue endeavors to drive advancements in designing healthier indoor spaces and influencing informed decision making for policymakers, industry professionals, and stakeholders.

Embracing the current trends in IAQ research, we invite contributions that diagnose existing issues and propose novel solutions and methodologies to enhance IAQ standards, aiming for environments that promote well-being and sustainability.
