摘要

室内空气污染对人类健康有着重大影响，引发和诱发了一系列疾病，导致高发病率和高死亡率。在本研究中，从空气质量指数（AQI）、颗粒物PM2.5、颗粒物PM10、二氧化碳、甲醛（HCHO）、总挥发性有机化合物（TVOC）、湿度和温度等方面评估了住宅和商业建筑不同空间的室内空气污染。选择两栋住宅公寓楼进行研究，一栋位于繁忙的室外区域，另一栋位于平静的室外区域以观察室外空气质量对室内空间的影响。研究发现，住宅空间的卧室和商业建筑的咖啡馆的室内空气质量高于标准，建议提供适当的通风，以改善居住者的生活。此外，还发现室外空气污染物的渗透对室内空气质量的影响很小，原因是提供了带空气过滤器的机械通风和有效的建筑围护结构。

Assessment of Indoor Air Quality in Different Spaces of Residential and Commercial Buildings in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Indoor air pollution has a significant impact on human health, triggering and inducing a wide range of diseases that result in high morbidity and mortality. In this study, indoor air pollution in different spaces of residential and commercial buildings is assessed in terms of air quality index (AQI), particulate matter PM2.5, particulate matter PM10, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde (HCHO), the total volatile organic compound (TVOC), humidity, and temperature. Two residential apartment buildings are chosen for study, one is in a busy outdoor area and the other is situated in a calm outdoor area to see the effects of outdoor air quality on indoor spaces. It is found that the indoor air quality of bedrooms in residential spaces and cafés in commercial buildings is higher than the standards, and it is recommended to provide proper ventilation for better living of the occupants. Also, it is found that there is minimal effect of infiltration of outdoor air pollutants on indoor air quality and the reason is due to the provision of mechanical ventilation with air filters and effective building envelope.

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
