Title
INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ) MANAGEMENT IN MACAO: MONITORING PARTICULATE MATTER (PM10 AND PM2.5) AT THE RENOVATION SITE IN LARGE SHOPPING MALLS
Abstract
"Over time, the large shopping malls in Macao will require some changes to improve
space utilization, resulting in renovation projects that affect indoor particulate matter
(PM10 and PM2.5) concentrations. Employees work long hours in an environment where
the ambient air quality is poor, directly affecting their work efficiency. Nonetheless, the
concentration of PM produced by the interior renovation of shopping malls has yet to
receive particular attention. Therefore, this study will investigate IAQ, in particular,
PM10 and PM2.5 in large-scale shopping mall renovation projects in three different
indoor locations (i.e., public, renovation, and construction areas) to understand the causes
of indoor PM10 and PM2.5. This study will collect on-site PM data for analysis, examine
whether the current control measures are appropriate and propose some improvements.
The data collected will be compared with IAQ standards from the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG),
specifically PM concentrations. The research results can provide a reference guide for
decision-makers, management, construction teams, design consultant teams and
renovation teams of large-scale projects. In addition, the monitoring of IAQ can ensure
a comfortable environment for employees and customers."
