Abstract

Simultaneous indoor-outdoor air quality (AQ) monitoring provides a holistic understanding of the factors influencing indoor environments and their potential implications for human health. We employed a robust methodology to comprehensively assess AQ in a number of locations including a typical university office space as part of the MetOffice/Strategic Priorities Fund (SPF) project “Indoor Air Quality Emissions and Modelling System (IAQ-EMS)”. Using state-of-the-art instruments at the University of Birmingham's mobile supersite, we measured particulate matter (PM), non-refractory PM_2.5, black carbon (BC), particle size distributions, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ozone (O₃), nitrogen oxides (NO_x) and carbon monoxide (CO), both indoors and outdoors. This project provides one of the first comprehensive online measurements of air composition from both indoor and outdoor environments.
