Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in laboratories can be defined as the air quality inside a lab
that will lead to the comfort and health of the occupants. The aim of this study was
to measure the concentration of the temperature, relative humidity (RH) and
Particulate Matter (PM10), in two different laboratories. The measurements were
carried out during the weekdays for 3 days from 0830 to 1630 by using indoor air
quality instruments. The results show the concentration of the PM10 and temperature
are below the limit from Industry Code of Practice 2010 (ICOP 2010) with 33 µg/m 3
and 25.8°C respectively while relative humidity exceed the limit with 71.1%. Results
from ANOVA show that there is significant differences recorded for all parameters. As
for conclusion, from the three parameters one is exceeded the limit therefore, this
study need more concern to provide a better thermal comfort to peoples.
