Abstract
The aim of this study is to propose pollen prevention measures in buildings by examining the mechanisms of indoor concentration decay theoretically with pollen grains as the main target, and estimate indoor concentration using theoretical formulas. We first analyzed the mechanism of the indoor pollen concentration, and verified predictive formulas based on actual measured values. Next, assuming the outdoor pollen concentration, the indoor concentration was estimated. It was shown that by making assumptions for the outdoor concentration and conditions, the indoor concentration could be estimated using a theoretical formula.
