Investigation of indoor air quality in university libraries in terms of gaseous and particulate pollutants in Bartin, Turkey.

ABSTRACT: Indoor air quality (IAQ) was investigated in two libraries of Bartin University. Particle matter, TVOC, and CH₂O were measured simultaneously in different rooms of the libraries. Measurements were made by PCE-RCM 11 measuring device. They were conducted monthly between September 2019 and October 2020 for 2 weeks for each library. TVOC mean concentration was higher than the limit value reported by Seifert et al. (1999). PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ concentrations were higher in winter unlike TVOC and CH₂O concentrations. The indoor seconder blowing dust was detected to be the most important source of particulate matter in the indoor environment. On the other hand, it was thought that the pollutants in the gas phase were affected by indoor and outdoor air temper
