| Abstract |
Home daycare center occupied about 52% among daycare centers in the nation in 2013. Most of daycare centers took care of young children to occupy high ratio among daycare centers and to be likely to increase ratio in the future. Young children had less immunity than adults had, and they breathed in plenty of air considering their weight to accumulate more contaminants of the air than adults did. Young children with low linguistic ability to understand and express were short of surrounding environment control, so that daycare centers where young children stayed for a long time needed to control indoor air quality very much carefully. Young children who spent most of time at daycare centers should be given attention. This study investigated control of indoor air quality of home daycare centers for young children to make countermeasures and to give basic materials for comfortable environment in the daycare center. |
