Journal: Indoor Air

Online (Concordia user only)

AIM and SCOPE of Indoor Air:

The quality of the environment within buildings is a topic of major importance for public health. This issue has attracted researchers of differing backgrounds representing numerous disciplines. The purpose of this journal is to provide a location for reporting original research results in the broad area defined by the indoor environment of non-industrial buildings. The research results will provide the basic information required to allow designers, builders, owners and operators to provide a healthy and comfortable environment for building occupants.

SCOPE: The journal will have an international focus with multidisciplinary content. The papers published in each issue will reflect the broad categories of interest in this field: health effects, monitoring and modelling, source characterization, ventilation and other environmental control techniques, thermal comfort, and public policy.

The table of contents of all issues of the journal beginning with volume 7 are available on the Indoor Air home page (journals.munksgaard.dk/indoorair)

Publisher: Munksgaard, Copenhagen, (quarterly)
