Measurement of Indoor Air Quality Parameters in Daycare Centres in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

This paper focuses on the monitoring of indoor air quality parameters, namely: indoor temperature, humidity, velocity, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in day care centres. This study selected 15 day care centres located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. These day care centres were ca...
