The integrated evaluation of indoor particulate exposure (VIEPI) project: Main goals and campaign description
Preliminary results concerning the VIEPI (Integrated Evaluation of Indoor Particulate Exposure) project are described. VIEPI project aimed at evaluating indoor air quality and exposure to particulate matter (PM) of humans within workplaces. Infiltration factors of PM in indoor environments of different sizes with different air ventilation regimes as well as their dependence on outdoor and indoor micrometeorology characteristics are some of the goals of the project. For these purposes, several indoor environments located on different sites of the Rome area were considered for the analysis. To evaluate the influence of the micrometeorological parameters on PM concentrations, four seasonal field campaigns were carried out simultaneously indoor and outdoor during short- and long-term study periods.
