Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIndoor Air Quality and Prevalence of Sick Building Syndrome Among Office Workers in Two Different Offices in SelangorMohd Ezman Zamani, Juliana Jalaludin, Nafiz ShaharomThis study was done to investigate the relationship between Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and prevalence of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in two different offices (old and new) in Selangor. Hundred and seventy workers were selected consist of 85 office workers for each building. Questionnaire based on Indoor Air Quality and Work Symptoms Survey, NIOSH, Indoor Environmental Quality Survey, 1991 was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 10 Oct 2013 · 9,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStudy of Ambient and Indoor Air Quality in the Building Built on the Former LandfillAnuar Ithnin, Nazipah Zakaria, Nor Azura Sulong et al.Problem statement: The air quality study of PPR Taman Wahyu II, Selayang, Selangor was a residential project that was built on the former landfill site. The landfill site will produce landfill gases which can influence the air quality level in and outside the building. Approach: This air quality study also involving PPR Intan Baiduri, Batu Caves, Selangor as a control … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 21 Jun 2012 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Passive Opportunity for Improving Air Quality in the Schools Environment: A Real-World Scale TestingPierpaoli Mattia, Fava GabrieleCan passive technology effectively enhance the indoor air quality? To improve classroom indoor air quality, an increase in ventilation and/or air purifiers are often suggested. In this study, a short-term intervention was implemented and investigated to evaluate the effects of a passive adsorbent surface on the pollutant deposition velocity and to improve the overall classroom air quality. We found that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2016 · 7,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasurement of Cooling Load-Based Occupant Behavior in Under-Actuated Zones: A Time-Variance ApproachYaddarabullah, Yusuf Maulana Akbar, Aedah Binti Abd Rahman, Amna SaadThis research is dedicated to the enhancement of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems through an innovative investigation of occupant behavior within under-actuated zones. These zones are strategically positioned to elevate indoor air quality and comfort through the intelligent utilization of HVAC systems. However, accurately measuring the cooling loads within these zones, which are inherently influenced by the presence of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2023 · 6,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Indoor CO2 Concentration Using Split Ventilation Systems as an Indicator of COVID-19 TransmissionManuel Batista, Oscar Bulgim, Ericka Matus et al.We measured the indoor CO2 concentration in occupied areas with ventilation systems that recirculate air without an external air supply. The average time required to achieve the highest probability of contagion was also measured based on the number of participants in the group. Three different experimental groups were evaluated: Group One (G1), which included 5 participants; Group Two (G2), with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 23 Aug 2023 · 6,051 accessesView PDFCite

Bergin, James Jay SchauerAir pollution has become a pressing issue in today’s society because of its significant effects on humans, animals, plants, air quality, climate and the wider environment. Most urban areas are associated with one or more air pollutants which are emitted from local or regional pollution sources including vehicle exhausts, fossil fuels using in energy production, emissions from industrial and mining … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2018 · 9,274 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA AS BIOMARKERS OF EXPOSURE TO INDOOR POLLUTANTS AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN KLANG VALLEYJuliana Jalaludin, Sharifah Nazariah Syed Noh, Nur Faseeha Suhaimi, Abdah Md AkimPoor indoor air quality can be particularly harmful to children and interfere with the growth of their lung function as they spend much of their time indoors. In order to understand the mechanism of exposure in the airways, biomarkers were used as a surrogate for biological responses towards indoor air pollutants. This study aims to investigate the association between indoor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2014 · 8,078 accessesView PDFCite
