Indoor air quality was evaluated in three hospitals across different European cities with varying ventilation systems. Findings show that air quality is affected by location, building design, and indoor activities. Air purifiers reduced particulate matter (PM) concentrations in all cases, including those with initially low particle levels like in Finland. The benefits of portable air purifiers are especially notable in highly polluted environments, such as Romania.
