Abstract

Indoor air quality in schools may have an impact on students’ health and concentration, and activities for maintenance and improvement should be carried out on the basis of an objective evaluation of the indoor air quality. The purpose of this study is to suggest a method for setting the absolute and relative reference values for an indoor air quality index in the classrooms of the school. The pollutant concentration criteria in domestic and foreign codes, guidelines, certification systems, and indoor environment indexes were investigated and analyzed, and the absolute references with three levels were established for five pollutants including PM₁₀, PM_2.5, CO₂, formaldehyde, and total airborne bacteria. The distribution characteristics of each pollutant were analyzed using the public data from the Ministry of Education, and peer groups for appropriate comparison were suggested for setting relative references.
