Field ‐to‐laboratory analysis of clay wall coatings as passive removal materials for ozone in buildings
In this study, the potential for passive reduction of indoor ozone by two different clay‐based interior surface coatings was explored. These coatings were exposed to occupied residential indoor environments and tested bimonthly in environmental chambers for quantification of ozone reaction probabilities and reaction product emission rates over a 6‐month period. Results indicate that clay‐based coatings may be effective as passive removal materials, with relatively low by‐product emission rates that decay rapidly within 2 months. (Source: Indoor Air)

Thermal comfort, perceived air quality, and cognitive performance when personally controlled air movement is used by tropically acclimatized persons
Abstract
In a warm and humid climate, increasing the temperature set point offers considerable energy benefits with low first costs. Elevated air movement generated by a personally controlled fan can compensate for the negative effects caused by an increased temperature set point. Fifty‐six tropically acclimatized persons in common Singaporean office attire (0.7 clo) were exposed for 90 minutes to each of five conditions: 23, 26, and 29°C and in the latter two cases with and without occupant‐controlled air movement. Relative humidity was maintained at 60%. We tested thermal comfort, perceived air quality, sick buildi...

Indoor birch pollen concentrations differ with ventilation scheme, room location, and meteorological factors
In this study, we measured hourly indoor birch pollen concentrations on 8 days in April 2015 with portable pollen traps in five rooms of a university building at Freising, Germany. These data were compared to the respective outdoor values right in front of the rooms and to background pollen data. The rooms were characterized by different aspects and window ventilation schemes. Meteorological data were equally measured directly in front of the windows. Outdoor concentration could be partly explained with phenological data of 56 birches in the surrounding showing concurrent high numbers of trees attaining flowering stages. ...

Observation ‐based metrics for residential dampness and mold with dose–response relationships to health: A review
Abstract
An important proportion of respiratory illness is considered attributable to residential dampness or mold (D/M). Developing health‐protective D/M guidelines has been challenging, in part because unhealthy levels of indoor D/M cannot be defined using available microbiological measurements. This review paper explores reported multilevel, observation‐based (eg visual or olfactory) D/M metrics for potential in defining unhealthy levels of residential D/M. For many of the 33 multilevel residential D/M metrics identified, health risks generally increased as observed D/M increased. Although some metrics seemed too co...
