Preface

Quality of life and air quality are inextricably linked. Air pollution is a growing concern worldwide as exposure to air pollution can be harmful for human health. Indoor air quality (IAQ ) in particular is a major environmental concern. In fact, people spend approximatively 90 percent of their time indoors where they are exposed to chemical and biological contaminants and possibly carcinogens. There are many virus and microbes that we can eliminate or reduce by using ventilation.

This book is a study of atmospheric air pollution and presents ways we can reduce its impacts on human health. It discusses tools for measuring IAQ as well as analyzes IAQ in closed buildings. It is an important documentation of air quality

and its impact on human health.
