Indoor Air Quality Guides

Evidence-led guidance on particles, airborne microorganisms, VOCs, CO₂, and practical indoor air quality management.

01 · GUIDE

How should indoor air quality be managed in schools and classrooms?

School indoor air quality should be assessed across ventilation, occupancy density, particles, airborne microorganisms, VOCs, and odors—not CO₂ alone. Ventilation remains fundamental; air-treatment equipment should be considered as a complement to the space’s management goals.

What is the difference between an air purifier and an air sterilizer?

Assess an air purifier or air sterilizer by its target pollutants and the test method and conditions, not by its name alone. Air-cleaning performance addresses particles such as PM10 and PM2.5, harmful gases, and odors, while air-sterilization performance addresses airborne microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses; confirm that the purchased and tested models match.

Can an air purifier lower carbon dioxide (CO₂)?

Indoor CO₂ is a supporting indicator of occupant respiration, outdoor-air supply, and ventilation. Typical particle-removal air purifiers are not primarily designed to remove CO₂, so check ventilation first and interpret any product result only for its stated model, initial concentration, operating time, and conditions.
