Field Tests of Indoor Air Cleaners for Removal of PM2.5 and PM10 in Elementary School Classrooms in Seoul, Korea by Bangwoo Han, Keejung Hong, Dongho Shin, Hak-Joon Kim, Yong-Jin Kim, Sang Bok Kim, Sangwoo Kim, Cheong-Ha Hwang, Kwang-Chul Noh

“…The PM2.5 level in classrooms was effectively reduced by one or two air cleaners because PM2.5 infiltrated mainly from outdoors; meanwhile, PM10 could not be reduced as PM10 originated mainly from indoors from student activities. Air cleaners were more effective at removing PM2.5 and PM10 in classrooms with high airtightness than in classrooms with low airtightness. …”
