According to Prof Daniel Ruan of DST’s Environmental Science Programme, improving indoor air quality (IAQ) is one of the most important environmental issues in the built environment in the Pearl River Delta and even worldwide. Zhuhai is advised to establish an IAQ awareness promotion programme to set benchmarks to be used by Zhuhai and the neighbouring cities for encouraging building owners to improve and maintain good IAQ on their premises.
