TLDR
In this article, the authors used a two-compartment model to estimate the ACH in 40 Bangladesh households in kitchen and living room, and found that the overall Geometric Mean (Geometric Standard Deviation) of ACH across households were found to be 0.43 (4.3) in the kitchen and 0.32 (2.7%) in the living room.About:

Effect of resilient architecture in an ancient windmill in the Sistan region on natural ventilation enhancement
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors assessed the different components of an ancient windmill in Sistan, Iran, on the structure's indoor air quality (IAQ) enhancement and found that the wind speed and angle from 10 to 15 m/s and 30° to 17° would increase the air change per hour (ACH) by 150% and 110%, respectively.

Particulate Matter Concentration in Healthcare Facilities: The Influence of Natural Ventilation
TL;DR: In this paper , the influence of natural ventilation on the particulate matter concentration in the room is investigated. And the results indicate that natural ventilation can affect particulate matters concentration in a room and play an essential role in reducing it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air Quality Modeling of Cooking Stove Emissions and Exposure Assessment in Rural Areas
TL;DR: In this article , a combination of the one-contaminant box model and dispersion models is used to estimate the indoor PM2.5 household concentration, and the results show that the contributions of outdoor infiltration to indoor PM 2.5 concentrations increase with higher packing densities and ventilation rates.

Effects of room furnishings and air speed on particle deposition rates indoors
TL;DR: Lai et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the effect of room furnishings and air speed on particle deposition rates in indoor environments. But they focused on the effects of room furnishing and air speeds on particle deployment rates.
