Abstract

We spend 30-40% of our life time in the bedroom, well secured from the outdoor environment, but is the indoor environment secure and healthy? The bedroom is probably the most important place in our home. While asleep, we do not act in control of the environment. It affects us, but in the morning we walk away from it. The paper focuses on the indoor climate of the bedroom. The bedroom is often poorly ventilated, full of house dust mite allergen, and with daily peak levels of other pollutants.
