Summary:
The current way of life constantly degrades air quality, although that is a
precondition for
the development, prosperity, healthy living, enjoyment, the very existence of
life itself.
Degradation of air quality concerns both the outer atmosphere and the atmosphere
interiors. Man spends much of his life indoors, where he lives and works. The
conditions
of these areas affect human well-being and pose a threat to his health. A major
factor of
indoor pollutant is particulate matter.
In this thesis, we study the contribution of people, who stay indoors and how
interior
heating influence the concentrations of suspended particles. The thesis
consists of two
parts. The first part is the literature study, confirming the change of the
quality of indoor
air due to the stay of people and their activities. In the second part, are
presented the
measurements of concentrations of particulate matter carried out in homes in
Gerakas and
the results obtained. In the end, protection and measures are described to
reduce indoor
pollution.
