Quality and Indoor Air treatment

Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

In developed countries, between 70% and 90% of the life time are spent in confined spaces (housing, transport, etc.). Air quality in these closed spaces is generally inferior than outside. Our lifestyles and the growing use of new products and materials create cocktails of chemicals compounds (COV, CIV...) that can cause an increase of worrying diseases such as asthma, allergies or even cancer. These pollutants are particularly present in indoor air. These increasing public health problems gives rise to the development of devices for the treatment of indoor air. However,indoor air contains a lot of chemical substances showing very different physicochemical properties. The “Laboratoire de Thermique, Energétique et Procédés” (LaTEP) studies the coupling of treatment processes, such as biofiltration coupled to adsorption.
