Project Abstract This project investigates the impact of the heating season on indoor and outdoor air quality within the Blatné Remety community. Our primary objective is to compare particulate matter (PM2.5) and volatile organic compound (VOC) levels between indoor school environments and the outdoor atmosphere. Utilizing two synchronized ATMOTUBE PRO air quality monitoring devices, data will be collected continuously over an eight-week period during the heating season. This rigorous methodology aims to identify patterns and correlations between heating activities and air pollutant concentrations. We expect to gain a deeper understanding of temperature inversion effects during the heating season and their subsequent influence on respiratory health. The findings will be instrumental in raising awareness within the school and broader community, empowering stakeholders with data-driven insights to protect children's health from seasonal air pollution.
