      Lecture 12: Indoor air pollution, syndrome, health effects and control Lesson

      Key issues:

      Significant impact on human health risk
      Contains many of the same pollutants as outdoor air, also contains VOCs, allergens, fungi, bacteria and viruses
      Pollution concentrations usually differ in mixing ratios:

      • O3 and SO2 are usually less
      • Formaldehydes are usually greater
      • CO, NOx are generally the same or less
      • Radon, asbestos and ETS, when present, are usually greater

      Regulated only in the workplace and in public buildings. Residential air is not properly regulated.
