Resumen

The significance of indoor air quality (IAQ) has been recognised in recent years due to its impact on public health. In modern societies people spend about 90% of their time indoors. IAQ in recreation facilities is of special interest as the amounts of pollutants drawn into the lungs increase proportionally with increasing ventilation rates. Furthermore, the air is inhaled through the mouth, bypassing the normal nasal mechanisms for filtration of particles. In this study, an indoor/outdoor monitoring programme was carried out in a gymnasium belonging to the University of Leon (Spain).
