Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessment and Management

Dear Colleagues,

Indoor air quality plays a crucial role in public health, building performance and environmental sustainability. With growing concerns about the impacts of indoor pollutants, energy efficiency measures and climate change on human well-being, there is an increasing need for innovative approaches to assess, predict and manage indoor air quality in diverse environments such as homes, schools, offices and industrial buildings. 

This Special Issue aims to showcase recent advances in indoor air quality measurement techniques, modeling and simulation tools, exposure and risk assessment methods and the integration of indoor air quality management with building ventilation and filtration strategies. Submissions addressing sensor-based monitoring, data-driven analytics, the health effects of indoor contaminants and policy or regulatory frameworks for indoor air quality improvement are particularly welcome. Both experimental and computational studies, as well as interdisciplinary perspectives bridging environmental science, engineering and public health, are encouraged.
