Indoor-air-pollution

The research aims to develop tools and methods (mainly based on modeling) to understand the physical and chemical processes that determine the level of indoor air pollution. Models are used to help to monitor and predict indoor air pollution, and propose remediation solutions.

• Develop models that allow the simulation of indoor air pollution

• Understand the physical and chemical processes that explain air pollution

• Develop methods to monitor and predict indoor air pollution

• Propose strategies for reducing indoor air pollution.
