Guidelines for Monitoring Indoors Air Quality

摘要

This document provides guidelines for designing programs to measure indoor air quality and associated factors. Brief summaries of past and current research and descriptions of indoor contaminants provide a background for developing the monitoring design. Factors that influence indoor air quality are discussed with the aid of mass balance models. An extensive review of measurement systems, including a listing of numerous instruments with their performance specifications, is presented. Design considerations are discussed for two types of studies--applied research in indoor air quality and investigations of building-associated problems. A systematic approach for developing the design is also described. In addition, the document presents a format for data reporting and suggestions on quality assurance and quality control.
