In this study, indoor and outdoor air quality was investigated in a primary school, a kindergarten, and a workplace located in Ankara, Turkey. Indoor air pollutants, which are bioaerosols (bacteria and airborne fungi), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and fine particulate matters (PM2.5) were measured for five consecutive days in each sampling site both in the summer and in the winter seasons. Bioaerosols were sampled by single-stage bioimpactor; VOCs were collected by sorbent tubes with air pump and PM2.5 was measured by real-time instrument. Relative humidity (RH) and temperature were also recorded during the sampling. Indoor VOCs and bioaerosol levels were found higher in primary school and kindergarten than workplace. Indoor to outdoor ratios (I/O) for bioaerosols and individual VOC were calculated. Moreover, effects of season on indoor pollutants were determined.
