and Concerns
• Nation-wide about 78% of the Indian population relied upon the biomass fuels and
about 3% on coal.
• Indoor air pollution is responsible for 2.7% of the global burden of disease and has
been ranked among top 10 risk factors.
• India has largest burden of disease due to the use of dirty household fuels and 28%
of all deaths are due to indoor air pollution in developing countries occur in India.
• Pollutant released indoors is one thousand times more likely to reach people’s
lung than a pollutant released outdoors.
What is IAQ??
The protocol is a check list for establishing a IAQ study in India that
includes sampling, monitoring, and analysis and prediction of IAQ similar
to NAAQM programme

Findings
NVIAQMpm10 shows the tendency to under-predict indoor PM10 concentrations during weekdays as it does not
take into account the occupant’s activities and its effects on the indoor concentrations during the class hours.
The models have been validated at three different classroom locations of the school site and the sensitivity
analysis of the models has been performed by varying the values of mixing factor (k) and newly introduced parameter
Rc. The results indicate that the change in values of k (0.33 to 1.00) does not significantly affect the model
performance.
