Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and air duct cleanliness, addressing the rising concern for human well-being. Airborne contaminants like dust, mold, and bacteria are identified as significant threats to IAQ, with potential health consequences. The study will also explore the several established safety and health guidelines and duct characteristics that influenced IAQ. Consequently, the primary research goal is to examine the relationship between duct cleanliness and airborne contaminants in the building environment and determine whether air duct cleaning effectively reduces these contaminants. By thoroughly reviewing studies and established standards, we examine IAQ contaminants and explore the effects of duct cleaning, along with its potential health advantages. Findings emphasize duct cleaning's potential to enhance IAQ, reduce exposure to pollutants, and its importance for building owners, facility managers, and stakeholders in safeguarding occupants' health and comfort.

管道清洁度与空气污染物之间关系的全面回顾

本研究调查了室内空气质量（IAQ）与通风管道清洁度之间的关系，以解决人们日益关注的人类健康问题。灰尘、霉菌和细菌等空气污染物被认为是对室内空气质量的重大威胁，并可能对健康造成影响。这项研究还将探讨若干既定的安全和健康准则以及影响室内空气质量的风道特征。因此，研究的主要目标是检查风道清洁度与建筑环境中空气传播的污染物之间的关系，并确定风道清洁是否能有效减少这些污染物。通过全面回顾研究和既定标准，我们检查了室内空气质量污染物，并探讨了风道清洁的效果及其潜在的健康优势。研究结果强调了风道清洗在改善室内空气质量、减少污染物暴露方面的潜力，以及其对楼宇业主、设施管理者和利益相关者在保障居住者健康和舒适方面的重要性。
