Abstract
Indoor air quality is paramount for public health, with inadequate ventilation directly contributing to airborne pathogen transmission, including SARS-CoV-2. The indoor microbiome significantly influences respiratory health, while fungal exposure poses specific risks. Effective mitigation involves a multi-faceted approach: real-time Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring assesses conditions, while robust ventilation, high-efficiency filtration, and advanced air purification systems reduce pathogen concentrations. Environmental factors like humidity and temperature also impact pathogen viability. Integrating these controls into thoughtful build
ing design and advanced Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) disinfection technologies creates healthier, safer indoor environments.
