Resumo: Introduction: The appearance of the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) as a Science appear in the 70's due to the energy crisis with consequent construction of private buildings. This vision only gained worldwide relief because of the discovery that a decrease in rates of air exchange in this type of buildings was the main cause for air increased pollutant concentration in the indoor air. Objetives: To evaluate the IAQ regarding the applicable legislation in gyms. Methods: The present study is characterized by being of level II, observational and cross-sectional cohort. The sample consisted of 3 gyms Coimbra and by 7 workers/. In order to achieve this objective, there was an analytical assessment of both physical and chemical parameters and filling questionnaires by the workers. Results: Regarding the obtained results of the evaluated parameters, it is possible to conclude that the PM 10 (Particulate Matter diameter of 10 mg/m3 ), the VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) and Relative Humidity presented risk values concerning workers health. Conclusions: The data collected it was possible to verify the importance and relevance of the studies in the future to ensure a better quality of life for all.

Esta visión sólo obtuvo un alivio mundial debido al descubrimiento de que una disminución en las tasas de intercambio de aire en este tipo de edificios fue la principal causa de aire aumentado la concentración de contaminantes en el aire interior. Objetivos: Evaluar la IAQ sobre la legislación aplicable en los gimnasios. Métodos: El presente estudio se caracteriza por ser de nivel II, observacional y transversal. La muestra consistió en 3 gyms Coimbra y en 7 trabajadores /. Para lograr este objetivo, se realizó una evaluación analítica de los parámetros físicos y químicos y de los cuestionarios de los trabajadores. Resultados: Respecto a los resultados obtenidos de los parámetros evaluados, se puede concluir que los PM 10 (Diámetro de Partículas de 10 mg / m3), los COV (Compuestos Orgánicos Volátiles) y la Humedad Relativa presentan valores de riesgo para la salud de los trabajadores. Conclusiones: Los datos recogidos muestran la importancia y relevancia de los estudios para asegurar en el futuro una mejor calidad de vida para todos.Introdução: o aparecimento da qualidade do ar interior (IAQ) como ciência aparece nos anos 70 devido à crise energética com a consequente construção de prédios particulares. Esta visão só ganhou alívio mundial devido à descoberta de que uma diminuição nas taxas de troca de ar neste tipo de edifícios foi a principal causa de aumento da concentração de poluentes no ar interior. Métodos: O presente estudo caracteriza-se por ser de coorte de nível II, observacional e transversal. A amostra foi constituída por 3 ginásios de Coimbra e por 7 trabalhadores /. Para atingir esse objetivo, houve uma avaliação analítica dos parâmetros físicos e químicos e preenchimento de questionários pelos trabalhadores. Resultados: Em relação aos resultados obtidos dos parâmetros avaliados, é possível concluir que os PM 10 (Diâmetro de Partículas de 10 mg / m3), os VOCs (Compostos Orgânicos Voláteis) e a Umidade Relativa apresentaram valores de risco relativos à saúde dos trabalhadores. Conclusões: Os dados coletados, mostram a relevância dos estudos sobre a qualidade do ar para garantir no futuro ações preventivas de uma melhor qualidade de vida para todos.Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV)2017-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.29352/mill0202.10.00057eng1647-662X0873-3015Monteiro, FábioFerreira, AnaMoreira, Fernandoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-06-15T15:01:37Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/11701Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:29:19.508594Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
