Indoor Air Quality in a Residential Building – A Health Issue

This study addresses the often-overlooked issue of indoor air quality, emphasizing its significance for the health and well-being of individuals spending a majority of their time indoors. Factors such as building occupancy, construction materials, and ventilation systems contribute to indoor air quality. Recognizing it as a critical environmental risk factor, this research focuses on assessing air quality in The Castle House, Lamego, through the measurement of PM10 and PM2.5 particles, temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, and carbon dioxide. The paper provides context, presents the study case, analyzes results, and concludes with implications for future research.
