| Popis: | Indoor air quality (IAQ) measurements were conducted in three different towns (i.e. Centre, Lapseki, and Can) in Canakkale, Turkey (n = 121) throughout the year. All indoor environments were selected randomly among the volunteer participants of a previous health survey. Particulate matter (PM), Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs), Total Bacteria Concentration (TBC), Total Mold Concentration (TMC), and Carbon dioxide (CO2) together with temperature and relative humidity (RH) were measured monthly. Together with IAQ measurements, bronchial hyper-responsiveness indicators such as forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiration volume (FEV1) of the occupants of the homes were measured by monthly Pulmonary Function (PF) test. Furthermore, a comprehensive survey was given to the participants. The measured IAQ parameters showed seasonal and spatial variations (p |
