Rumsluftkvalitet

Rumsluftkvalitet refers to the quality of the air inside buildings, encompassing factors that affect the health and comfort of occupants. It is influenced by a variety of sources, both internal and external. Internal sources can include building materials, furnishings, cleaning products, and the activities of the occupants themselves, such as cooking or smoking. External sources often involve outdoor air pollutants entering the building through ventilation systems or infiltration.

Key components of rumsluftkvalitet assessment include the measurement of particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and biological contaminants like mold and bacteria. Inadequate ventilation is a common contributor to poor indoor air quality, as it can lead to the buildup of pollutants.

The consequences of poor rumsluftkvalitet can range from mild discomfort, such as headaches or fatigue, to more serious health issues like respiratory problems and allergies. Therefore, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for creating healthy and productive environments. Strategies for improvement often involve proper ventilation, source control of pollutants, and regular cleaning and maintenance of building systems.
