Abstract(s)

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) encompasses a broad spectrum of chemical, physical, and biological agents that can have different impacts on vulnerable demographics, namely the elderly and children (Basińska et al., 2019; Mishra et al., 2015). The levels of pollutants can fluctuate based on their origins, potentially representing health risks. Enhancing IAQ requires a deep understanding of factors contributing to air quality (Mannan & Al-Ghamdi, 2021). This is especially critical in educational settings, where children, due to their sensitivity, spend significant periods indoors. Additionally, they are susceptible to the effects of pollutants such as particulate matter, bacteria, and fungi (Sadrizadeh et al., 2022).
