The goal of this project is to understand the indoor air quality of domestic small spaces and design action kit with improvement strategies.
As for restaurants and kindergartens, on-site visit and air pollution monitoring are used to understand the indoor air quality of these places and the knowledge level in indoor air quality of the site staff. The results show that the indoor air quality of these places are generally good. But based on our observation, people with basic concepts of indoor air quality can reduce indoor air quality problems. For example, new furniture shouldn’t be placed in children’s activity room. A survey collecting 2,496 samples regarding indoor air quality of domestic kindergartens is also carried out in this project. The result shows that the enrollments of domestic kindergartens could be divided into four categories: 30 children, 60 children, 90 children, and 120 children, and more than 84% are limited to 120 children. Most domestic kindergartens have only one class, and over 80% have 6 classes. The number of teachers in most domestic kindergartens is 2 to 5, and 81.5% is limited to 10. Most domestic kindergartens use independent air conditioning system or natural ventilation. Most odor pollutions are from toilet, mobile combustion, waste accumulation, industrial pollution, and livestock and agriculture. Based on statistic results, we can understand the difficulties encountered in kindergartens during the executing processes for improving indoor air quality and provide opinions as reference for future regulation. For improving indoor air quality, EPA is planning to announce the second public and private premises. Public hearing and discussion forum will be held to collect important opinions and information for indoor air quality improvement.
Action kit provides management tools and media tools. The management tools are designed following Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools provided by US EPA. Besides, booklets for kindergartens and restaurants are provided. Media tools includes audio poster and folding. The audio poster is designed as an interactive story due to limited reading ability and short attention span of children.
