In order to validate some assumptions and calculations of Johnson and Ettinger's model, a mapping of measured VOC fluxes in a heavily contaminated building was undertaken. To this end, both advective and diffusive flux measurements were carried out under real conditions. Diffusive fluxes were measured with flux chambers recording the initial concentration rise during the first minutes.

Background: Sarcopenia is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, whether changes in sarcopenia status affect CVD risk remains unclear. In addition, how indoor fuel use impacts the sarcopenia transition process is less well studied.

Air pollution is a critical threat to human health and the quality of life in large cities. In this work, we electrically characterized indoor air quality in Dhaka City with a microcontroller-based advanced sensing system in the presence of 60 air purifiers. We conducted LabVIEW-controlled, fully automated, and remotely operated experiments to precisely monitor, store, and analyze the air-purifying effects in the concentrations of air quality index (AQI) parametersPM2.

Since the 1980s, radon has been recognized as a public health concern in Switzerland and internationally. In an effort to more accurately estimate the number of lung cancer cases attributable to radon exposure, Swiss health authorities initiated the creation of radon measurements into a centralized national database. As of 2025, this database comprises approximately 300,000 measurements from 150,000 buildings across the country.

As urbanization accelerates, the issue of pollutant discharge from building materials has become the focus of public attention. Conducted in a ventilated environmental chamber, the experiments investigated the emission characteristics of VOCs from dry and wet building materials, focusing on the influencing factors, such as temperature, relative humidity (RH), ventilation, and seasonality. The impact of influencing factors was quantified using a one-factor-at-a-time control method.
