Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde üniversite kütüphanesinde iç hava kalitesi değerlendirmesi

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been determined by studies that viruses suspend more in closed and unventilated areas, so the possibility of transmission increases. It has also known that insufficient and poor quality of indoor air causes health problems and their symptoms. Particularly, indoor air quality is a significant problem in libraries where students spend most of their time. Besides, Inadequate indoor air quality in libraries has known to cause learning difficulties, decrease in working efficiency and concentration disorder, as well as negative effects on library materials. In this study, the university library was evaluated in terms of indoor air quality. The measurements of temperature, relative humidity, CO₂, PM₂.₅ values, which are parameters of indoor air quality, were carried out experimentally during the midterm weeks. The measurement results were analyzed and compared with the determined indoor air quality standard values. In addition, indoor air quality was assessed with the satisfaction survey. As a result of the measured parameters and survey data, it has been determined that the CO₂ and PM₂.₅ values may cause problems for the users and the ventilation scheme should be rearranged for this.

Investigation of Air Quality Levels on 19-Day National Lockdown Period for Covid-19 of Isparta City in 2020 using Grey Incidence Analysis

“…According to the experimental results, it was observed that the 𝐶𝑂 2 concentration was below 1000 ppm thanks to the applied restrictions. Moreover, they also stated that the ventilation installation of the library should be rearranged [8]. Nese and Yetiskul (2021) studied the effects of 𝑃𝑀 10 concentration on air quality for the province of Izmir during the covid-19 pandemic.…”
