Air pollution and health
TL;DR: The effects of air pollution on health have been generating attention for years as mentioned in this paper, and a large number of pulmonologists have recently expressed concerns about this in an open letter to Dutch Members of Parliament.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the right factors: A review of variables and models for thermal comfort and indoor air quality
TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to highlight evidence and variables from empirical and deterministic models, which are combined in analytical models that current machine learning techniques often overlook, and identify the corresponding input variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on interactions between energy performance of the buildings, outdoor air pollution and the indoor air quality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to provide an understanding of how contaminants, increased population density in cities, the use of new synthetic materials and traffic pollution contribute and interact to increase adverse effects on humans and deteriorate indoor air quality.
