Indoor PM2.5 concentrations in residential buildings during a severely polluted winter: A case study in Tianjin, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of infiltration and indoor pollution on the level of PM2.5 in residential buildings, using a DustTrak II aerosol monitor, measuring in a typical residential building in Tianjin with different openings to the external environment.

Sibel Mentese,Nihal Arzu Mirici,Müşerref Tatman Otkun,Coşkun Bakar,Elif Palaz,Deniz Tasdibi,Sibel Cevizci,Osman Cotuker +7 more
TL;DR: Negative associations between asthma and FEV1/FVC ratio, and between respiratory symptom score (RSS) and FEVs, support the idea that the PF test can be a good indicator for (early) prognosis of respiratory diseases.

Indoor air pollution from particulate matter emissions in different households in rural areas of Bangladesh
TL;DR: In this article, airborne particulate matter (PM) samples were collected from cooking and living areas in homes in a rural area of Bangladesh to investigate the impact of fuel use, kitchen configurations, and ventilation on indoor air quality and to apportion the source contributions of the measured trace metals and BC concentrations.

Indoor/outdoor concentrations and elemental composition of PM10/PM2.5 in urban/industrial areas of Kocaeli City, Turkey
TL;DR: Factor analysis of indoor data indicated that the contribution of outdoor pollutant sources to indoor pollution was about 70%, making these sources the most significant for indoor heavy metal pollution, wheras other sources of indoor pollution included smoking and cooking activities.

TL;DR: Venturing of classrooms with outdoor air will improve air quality and is likely to provide a health benefit and it is also easier than cleaning PM(10) from indoor air, which has proven to be tedious.
