The current technological era has provided humanity with unprecedented luxuries and opportunities for exploration, both on Earth and in space. However, this progress has also introduced significant environmental threats. Recent global awareness has heightened concern for environmental protection, with governments focusing on pollutants that cause catastrophic events like flash floods. Scientists are now identifying and analyzing specific pollutants to mitigate their impact and propose eco-friendly alternatives. This study focuses on the indoor air quality (IAQ) of an educational building at UET Peshawar (USPCAS-E). Sensors and particle monitors were placed in 19 rooms to measure temperature, humidity, air flow, and particulate matter (sizes 0.5 µm to 10 µm). Data was recorded at three different times and averaged for accuracy. The aim is to identify indoor air pollution sources and their adverse effects on health, contributing to better IAQ management strategies.
