Assessment of indoor air suspended particulate matter in GLA University campus, Mathura

Abstract

Abstract Indoor air quality represents the quality of air inside room. It affects the health and comfort of the residents. Hence it is very essential to measure the quality of air inside buildings and rooms. In this study, air quality of computer lab of GLA University has been assessed. Particulate matter (PM) is a common air pollutant, including of solid and liquid particles suspended in the air. Normally used indicators PM that are related to human well-being refer to the concentration of particles with a thickness of less than 10 μm. Therefore, for assessment of indoor air quality PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 has been monitored for one week. All observed diurnal data-sets have been represented by box plot. This research is very useful for policymakers of GLA University. Based on indoor air quality, classrooms and laboratories can be designed for good health of students
