『Abstract
The type and amount of indoor air pollutants affects the comfort
and quality of indoor environments. Therefore, indoor air quality
is an important issue with different social, economic, and health
aspects because people in developing countries spend most of their
time indoors being exposed to different kinds of indoor pollutants.
The indoor air quality can be assessed empirically by measuring
the pollutant concentrations or can be predicted by means of mathematical
models. an indoor aerosol model describes the dynamic behavior
of indoor air pollutants. The basic concept of indoor air models
is the mass-balance-conservation where several factors that govern
the indoor particle concentrations can be described. These factors
may include direct emissions from indoor sources, outdoor aerosol
particles penetrating indoors as a result of the ventilation and
filtration processes, deposition onto indoor surfaces, and removal
from indoor air by means of ventilation. Here we present principles
of indoor aerosol models and we also give examples of different
kind of models.
