Abstract

Abstract The performances of candidates during the exam period depend on several factors, such as the temperature in exam halls. The indoor amount of CO2 is over 1000 ppm, which in turn, could directly affect the performances of the candidates directly via headache, dizziness, fatigue, and a loss of concentration. In this study, changes in the indoor amount of CO2 in some central exam were examined, and certain evaluations were made. The findings of the present study indicate that the threshold value is usually exceeded within 10 minutes, following the start of exams, and when indoor CO2 amounts are higher than 1500 ppm, which is considered in most exams as the limit of harm to health, and circulating air in the hallways and keeping the doors of exam halls open throughout the exam period are not adequate for keeping the indoor CO2 amounts below 1000 ppm. Air circulation is a must in exam halls to ensure healthy exam environments.

考场中心二氧化碳含量的变化:土耳其的案例研究

考生在考试期间的表现取决于几个因素，如考场的温度。如果室内二氧化碳浓度超过1000ppm，则会导致头痛、头晕、疲劳、注意力不集中等直接影响考生的表现。本研究考察了某中心考场室内CO2量的变化情况，并进行了一定的评价。本研究结果表明，通常在考试开始后10分钟内，当室内CO2浓度高于1500ppm时，超过阈值，这在大多数考试中被认为是对健康有害的极限，在考试期间，走廊循环空气和保持考场门打开不足以使室内CO2浓度低于1000ppm。考场内必须保持空气流通，以确保健康的考试环境。

The transdisciplinary areas covered by this journal include, but are not limited to, Physical Sciences, Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, Life Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Botany, Agriculture, Home Science, Zoology, Genetics, Biology, Medical Sciences, Public Health, Demography and Epidemiology. The journal publishes basic, applied and methodologically oriented research from all such areas. The journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscript of unusual interest. Further, the manuscripts are categorised under three types, namely - Regular articles, Short Communications and Reviews.
