In this study, indoor air quality was assessed in a store belonging to one of Portugal's largest commercial retail groups. A variety of methodologies were used, including gravimetric analysis for particulate matter (PM), optical monitors for real-time PM measurements, gas sensors and analyzers for CO2 and other gaseous pollutants, diffusion tubes for VOCs, and passive deposition for microorganisms. The average ...
This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of indoor and outdoor air quality within a home improvement and gardening store chain in northeastern Portugal. In December 2021 and January 2022, two multipollutant systems were installed in the store and outdoors to assess air quality. Continuous monitoring included particulate matter below 10 µm (PM10), CO2, and comfort parameters. PM10 samples were collected us...

Indoor environmental quality is of utmost importance since urban populations spend a large proportion of their life in confined spaces. Supermarkets offer a wide range of products and services that are prone to emitting several air pollutants. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive characterisation of the indoor and outdoor air quality in a multinational supermarket, encompassing not only criteria paramete...
Indoor environmental quality is of utmost importance since urban populations spend much of their life in confined spaces. Supermarkets offer a wide range of products and services that are prone to emitting several air pollutants.

Ensuring good air quality is essential for safeguarding human health, requiring monitoring to comprehend air composition and formulate effective interventions. This study focused on indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring within a home improvement and gardening franchise store in northeastern Portugal. Real-time optical monitors recorded levels of particulate matter below 10 µm (PM10), while PM10 gravimetric ...
