Abstract

Particulate Matter (PM) is an air pollutant that harms human health. Therefore, there is a particular concern about reducing indoor air pollutants. Natural ventilation supplies clean air into the room to reduce indoor pollutants and create good air quality. This research aims to determine the influence of natural ventilation on the particulate matter's concentration in the room. First, the physical indoor air quality, including particulate matter, was measured using research instruments to obtain the primary data in healthcare facility buildings. Quantitative analysis is then carried out following the applicable recommended standards. The results indicate that natural ventilation can affect particulate matter concentration in the room and play an essential role in reducing it. Therefore, a building must consider good ventilation design to create better indoor air quality. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
