A survey of indoor air quality problems in air-condirtioned buildings in India

Some research indicate that people spend nearly 90 % of their time indoors. The scientific evidence indicates that the air within homes and other buildings can be more polluted that the outdoor air, even in industrialized cities. So for many people, the risks for health due to exposure to air pollution are greater indoors than outdoors. A survey was conducted to study the air quality related factors and their impact in various types of offices, with the analysis of parameters such as CO2 content, air velocity, dust, odour and humidity.
