AB  - The indoor air quality in schools is very important for health and learning abilities of children. The primary indoor CO2 source in classrooms is the respiration of school building occupants. Also, CO2 comes from outside as a result of fossil fuels combustion. CO2 concentration depends on a ventilation rate, size of the classroom, number of occupants and their activity and time they spend in school building. Unfortunately, ventilation rates in schools were not often measured, even in cases when inadequate ventilation caused pupils health problems and their absence from school. The increase in indoor CO2 concentration above the outdoor concentration is considered as a good surrogate for the indoor concentrations of bio effluents. This paper presents the research of ventilation rates in five naturally ventilated schools in urban and rural areas in Serbia during the heating season. CO2 concentrations were measured outdoor and in three classrooms for five working days, continually. Ventilation rates are calculated based on measured concentrations of CO2. The results have shown that classrooms in Serbian schools have inadequate ventilation during the heating period. Mean value of carbon dioxide concentration has often been exceeding 1000 ppm.

AB  - Paper presents comparative analysis of residential indoor air pollutant concentration change over future specified time horizon, implementing building physical and thermal retrofit measures, thus creating pollution mitigation scenarios for existing Belgrade and Nis housing stock followed by greenhouse gas emission reduction scenarios up to 2050. Regarding specified mitigation scenarios, the set of typical housing unit models has been generated which define existing housing stock of Belgrade and Nis. Extensive monitoring of physical and thermal parameters as well as detailed socio-technical survey of selected households was performed and used as an initial modeling input. Relationship between environment pollution and building performances was investigated, with respect to indoor-outdoor sources of pollution, thermal and physical properties of the stock samples and occupants behavior. As a final output, indoor pollutant concentrations for each of the modelled cases was obtained and validated against the available data. This housing modelling framework has been created in order to develop an assessment of present and future exposure and health impact quantity regarding single/multiple scenario interventions introduced to the housing stock. This paper provides each strategy guidelines for taking measures towards achieving the healthier indoor environments.

AB  - The air inside schools can be more polluted than the air outside. The purpose of this study was to investigate the air quality in primary school placed in town at the east of Serbia. The characterization of air pollution concentration was performed with main goal to determine relationship between indoor and outdoor air pollution within five classrooms. The measurements were conducted continuously in indoor and outdoor environment for period of 10 days. The standard sampling and analytical methods were applied (gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry). This paper presents and analyses concentrations of different physical and chemical pollutants in the indoor and outdoor environment: respirable particulate matter with different diameters (up to 2.5 mu m and 10 mu m), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in particulate matters up to 10 mu m, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, ozone, carbon-dioxide and nitric-dioxide. It was found, in one class, that the concentration of particulate matter with diameter up to 10 and 2.5 microns as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in particulate matters up to 10 mu m were higher in indoor environment than in outdoor. The average value of formaldehyde in all classrooms was significantly higher than recommended value. On the basis of received results, extensive school renovation program can be recommended.
