Developing methodology for testing of gas-phase air cleaners based on perceived air quality

Submitted by on Thu, 03/07/2024 - 13:13

The existing standards for testing gas-phase air cleaners are based on challenging them with gaseous substances. They do not describe air quality measurement using perception, and human emissions (bioeffluents) are not used as challenge pollutants. The present work examines the method that can be used as an alternative or together with other methods used for testing gas-phase air cleaners. The work is a part of the IEA's Annex 78. Three gas-phase air cleaners were tested in the Technical University of Denmark labs.
