Abstract

âº We compare indoor and outdoor air quality in one of the museums in Antwerp, Belgium. âº Our results base on 4 seasonal sampling campaigns performed within a year. âº We found differences in indoor air quality depending on external conditions. âº Tourist activity was an important factor influencing the indoor environment quality. âº Protective role of the museum against fine particulate matter was not sufficient.
