Medición y evaluación de la calidad del aire indoor en las áreas de la sede Ciudadela Porvenir de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José De Caldas

Abstract

An air quality study was conducted at the Universidad Distrital Ciudadela Porvenir, focusing on the measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), and formaldehyde (CH2O) in various academic areas. The objectives of the study included identifying critical areas for monitoring, installing sensors for real-time contaminant measurement, and evaluating the collected data. Regarding the findings, variable levels of contaminants were observed in different locations. CO2 and particulate matter were identified as the most common contaminants. The study recommended implementing active breaks to restore air quality in classrooms and laboratories, along with improvements in ventilation systems. Additionally, conducting longer monitoring sessions in some places was suggested.
