Surveys in Norwegian schools showed that some students experienced health problems, such as headaches or concentration issues which have been linked to indoor environment quality (IEQ). This research investigates the relationship between measured IEQ and students’ perceived IEQ as user-feedback in one lower secondary school. This study explores the factors contributing to the connection with certain parameters such as carbon dioxide (CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and temperature levels with perceived IEQ. Despite achieving good IEQ levels according to standards, there is a notable discrepancy between measured IEQ and how students perceive the air quality. Two classrooms served by a demand-controlled ventilation system were monitored with IEQ measurement sensors and online questionnaires were given individually to students in each classroom. This enables to provide real-time students’ perception of indoor air and room temperature quality. Measurement results showed IEQ are of good quality, but students’ responses on perceived IEQ vary and showed over 25% are dissatisfied, indicating mixed feelings and dissatisfaction about perceived IEQ. Future research should focus on refining ventilation systems to bridge the gap between measured and perceived IEQ.

Field measurements of indoor air in one Norwegian School
Surveys conducted in Norwegian schools showed students have experienced health problems, such as headaches or concentration issues which have been linked to indoor air quality (IAQ). Since no standard assessment method/protocol for IAQ exists, the assessment of IAQ by measurements will be influenced by type of monitoring device and its placement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the condition of indoor air parameter in school buildings. This work was conducted by investigating the influence of specification and placement of measurement devices of IAQ in a primary school building in Oslo City, as part of a broader investigation to identify potential measures to improve IAQ. Field measurements were done using both additional sensors, and existing sensors by the building energy management system. Different sensors were installed in classrooms in the school at slightly different locations. Measurement results of carbon dioxide and temperature were compared and evaluated in three different classrooms in the school. The result indicates that some classroom in the school may slightly not have a satisfactory IAQ. The comparison analysis suggests that room occupancy and sensor placement and specification influence the measurement results, and may thus negatively influence decisions made to ventilation system on the basis of the data from existing measurement. Further investigation is needed to understand the reliability of existing sensors to evaluate the IAQ of school buildings.

Air pollution is one of the world’s leading environmental causes of death. The epidemiological relationship between outdoor air pollution and the onset of health diseases associated with death is now well established. Relevant toxicological proofs are now dissecting the molecular processes that cause inflammation, reactive species generation, and DNA damage. In addition, new data are pointing out the role of airborne particulates in the modulation of genes and microRNAs potentially involved in the onset of human diseases. In the present review we collect the relevant findings on airborne particulates of one of the biggest hot spots of air pollution in Europe (i.e., the Po Valley), in the largest urban area of this region, Milan. The different aerodynamic fractions are discussed separately with a specific focus on fine and ultrafine particles that are now the main focus of several studies. Results are compared with more recent international findings. Possible future perspectives of research are proposed to create a new discussion among scientists working on the toxicological effects of airborne particles.
