A comparative study of indoor environmental quality in temporary emergency shelters

Patrick Bonzi

Extreme natural or man-made disasters are events caused by factors that injure, displace people and damage property. Victims of such events are often forced to live in temporary emergency shelters for prolonged time. It is therefore important to evaluate t ...
