THE FRENCH PERMANENT SURVEY ON INDOOR AIR QUALITY SURVEY DESIGN IN DWELLINGS AND SCHOOLS

摘要

Decided by the French Government in 1999, the permanent survey on indoor air quality provides data for risk assessment and risk management related to exposure to indoor air pollution. Among the potential investigated indoor spaces including all types of indoor environments (excluding industrial ones), dwellings and schools were identified as priority for the first investigations. The first survey includes 1) measurements on 40 priority indoor parameters: COV, NO_2, CO, CO_2, bacteria, moulds, allergens, MMMF, temperature, humidity, 2) questionnaires on building characteristics, occupants description and time activities diaries. For radon, lead and asbestos existing database will be assessed. For particulate matters, legionella and biocides, specific measurement methods are being developed for later inclusion in the survey. A pilot survey has been conducted in 2001 on 99 sites. A full-scale survey on 800 investigation sites should start from 2002. The selection of buildings will aim at a representative sampling of the French building stock.
