Detection and quantification of indoor air organic pollutants in residential and non-industrial buildings

Abstract

The first phase of the project included a documentary on organic compounds present in the air inside buildings and potential health effects. In the second stage was conducted a case study to assess the air quality inside residential buildings. It involved using a dedicated passive cartridges sampling for the organic pollutants of interest involving also a derivation and storage of pollutants. Also in this stage it was achieved an improvement of existing methods in the laboratory for these pollutants following new studies from the literature. The third stage of the project involves a case study to assess the air quality inside buildings non industrial by passive sampling to determine the air pollutants of interest at work.
