A Dynamic Assessment of Indoor Air Quality Through Passive and Active Filtration Measures Applied to the Built Environment in a Residential Application

Abstract

This highly dedicated empirical research was initially conceptualized, implemented and contained in a living active laboratory environment primarily designed to inform the audience on the negative health effects of indoor ambient air quality and the overexposure of three primary point source pollutants known as particle matter 2.5, particle matter 10, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde infiltrating the current built environment’s inadequate architectural features. Moreover, this research thesis is intended to modestly illustrate a limited combination of passive and active filtration strategies in conjunction with specific architectural ventilation recommendations that are designed to offset and reduce the direct and indirect exposure of harmful contaminant volumes of acute particle matter and hidden carcinogenic gaseous in multi-unit dwelling conditions demonstrated throughout this indoor air quality (IAQ) research. Furthermore, concealed in the title and facilitated throughout the research, the dynamics of IAQ is designed to demonstrate which complex adaptive passive and active filtration strategies are most effective limited to the disturbance in the dynamics of the amplitude of the logarithmic data scales and volume concentrations depicted with the use of the latest micro sensor technologies provided by Brwissen, Seesii and Temtop laboratories. Subsequently, from the empirical data IAQ analysis, a simplistic, precise, and quantified decision can then be assessed for which strategies are considerably the most appropriate and efficient for the current conditions that the filtration systems will be applied to in addition to placement recommendations for interior mechanical ventilation systems. Lastly, this research thesis was endorsed for the University of Arizona, as an informative piece calculated for the audience to make a professional proactive decision on how to maintain the volumes of ambient air molecules and improve the overall IAQ throughout the multi verse of living spaces obtainable at home.
