| More and more people are interested in environment protection and sustainable development, which appears in the demand to live in “zero-energy” buildings or natural buildings. Most of natural materials used in building constructions and some constructions techniques have been used for hundreds or even thousands of years, but the straw bale technology was developed in the 20th century and became popular not only in less developed world regions but also in the USA and Europe. The research related to natural buildings focused on thermal insulations or durability and very little is known about the indoor environment quality. The aim of this study was the assessment of indoor chemical pollutant levels in the buildings constructed in the straw bale technology located in the rural area of Eastern Poland (Lublin region). Investigation in the inhabited premised were conducted using passive sampling (Radiello dosimeters) followed by HPLC and UV spectroscopy. The data showed that the NO2 and ozone concentrations were similar to the levels measured in typical buildings located in the same area, while the levels of several identified VOC and carbonyl compounds were lower. Despite the structure material, the human factor seems to be the most important parameter impacting indoor air quality. |
