Indoor Air Quality and Health Risk Assessment among Preschool Children in Little Caliph Section 19, Shah Alam

Abstract

IAQ is important to the health and well-being of preschool children, who are highly vulnerable to indoor pollutants due to prolonged exposure. Complaints reported that IAQ problems at Little Caliphs in Section 19 included insufficient ventilation, dust infiltration from nearby road traffic, and elevated temperature that compromised occupant comfort and the overall learning environment. The objectives are to evaluate physical, chemical, and biological indoor air pollutants, to examine health implications through lung function tests, and to identify a health risk assessment.
