Outdoor PM2.5 air filtration: optimising indoor air quality and energy

Dusan Licina, Evangelos Belias

Human inhalation exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), including the PM2.5 of outdoor origin, predominantly occurs indoors. To limit outdoor PM2.5 penetration into buildings, ventilation standards often require the filtration of outdoor air with a m ...
