Industrial environments require people’s physical efforts related to excessive force, poor posture, and repetitive tasks that increase the risk of developing musculoskeletal diseases. Due to the high prevalence of postural complaints and consequent global health burdens, a significant demand has been conducted to build and implement powered lower and upper limb devices for human enhancement, considering the wor...
The aim of this study was to characterize indoor environmental quality in a representative sample of Elderly Care Centers (ECC) in order to associate it with ventilation, health and comfort of elderly people. Indoor air quality (IAQ) parameters and thermal comfort were measured twice, during winter and spring/summer seasons, from 18 Elderly Care Centers (ECC) located in Lisbon, with a total of 116 rooms evaluated.
The growing concern about indoor air quality results from the knowledge that exposure to indoor air pollutants may be higher than the exposure to outdoor air pollutants and from the evidence that in most developed countries day care centers are places where children spend most of their time. How environmental factors affect children respiratory health is still controversial and unclear. This paper describes the...
The negative impact of a poor indoor air quality in children’s health is well recognized and the establishment of a relation between air quality, ventilation and children’s health is crucial to correct the actual situation. Levels of carbon dioxide usually exceed recommended values and are often associated with the raise of many other indoor pollutants accumulated in consequence of poor ventilation rates. This ...
