effects of indoor air pollution
What are the health effects of indoor air pollution?
Certain climatic conditions can increase the potential for indoor moisture and mold growth if not controlled by adequate ventilation or air conditioning. Health effects associated with indoor air pollutants include: Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer.
How does outdoor contaminant concentration affect indoor air quality?
It is known that outdoor contaminant concentrations and building airtightness have a great influence on IAQ, due to the possibility of transportation of contaminants from outdoors to indoors [ 14 ]. As outdoor pollutants’ concentrations increase, they are transported from outdoors to the indoor environment via ventilation.
What are the main indoor air pollutants?
Numerous indoor air pollutants have been recognized to have harmful impacts on IAQ and human health [ 23 ]. The main indoor air pollutants include NOx, volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs), SO 2, O 3, CO, PM, radon, toxic metals, and microorganisms. The sources and health effects of some common pollutants are listed in Table 1.
What causes indoor air quality problems?
Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the area.
