Abstract: | In recent years, numerous studies have confirmed the existence of serious damage to people's health resulting from poor air quality, which has fostered interest in different areas for its improvement. Previously, in 1987, and its revisions in 1997 and 2005, the World Health Organization [WHO] already indicated the main pollutants in outdoor air and their adverse effects on people's health. Later, in 2010, it published the guidelines for interior spaces. Established these, the organization estimated, in 2016, that this factor is the cause of the premature death of 4.2 million people in the world. At the national level, the study of the evaluation of air quality in Spain in 2020 confirms that these indicators, among which particulate matter PM2.5 and PM1 O or Üsub3/sub stand out, exceeded widely the limit values recommended by the WHO. That is why the General Council of Technical Architecture of Spain has carried out a study of the concentration of CO2 in homes, analyzing different factors that may influence this indicator. In this case, the relationship between the concentration of CO2 and the opening of the door during the night is presented, considering the exposure of the user in the bedroom, which has made it possible to evaluate the difference in concentrations between those who sleep with the door open. Open and the users who do it with the door closed, a factor that may seem irrelevant at first, but as we will see in the results it is of great importance. |
