From raising awareness to a behavioural change: A case study of indoor air quality improvement using IoT and COM-B model (2023)
Journal Article
Kureshi, R. R., Thakker, D., Mishra, B. K., & Barnes, J. (2023). From raising awareness to a behavioural change: A case study of indoor air quality improvement using IoT and COM-B model. Sensors, 23(7), 3613. https://doi.org/10.3390/s23073613

The topic of indoor air pollution has yet to receive the same level of attention as ambient pollution. We spend considerable time indoors, and poorer indoor air quality affects most of us, particularly people with respiratory and other health conditi...
