Indoor air quality and cognitive health

As many people are spending more time doing indoor activities now, indoor air quality (IAQ) becomes extremely critical to ensure better physical and cognitive well-being. The project aimed to make use of filters to reduce the concentration of the Particulate Matters (PMs) and Total Volatile Organic...
