About this ebook

Indoor Air Quality reveals the hidden dangers lurking within our homes and offices, focusing on the significant impact of indoor air pollution on environmental health. While we often consider indoor spaces safe, they can harbor potent asthma triggers and allergy triggers. The book highlights that common culprits like mold, thriving in damp environments, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), emitted from everyday products, can severely affect our well-being. VOCs, for example, released from household items, contribute to a complex mix of airborne chemicals, potentially causing both immediate irritation and long-term health issues.

This book progresses logically, first introducing the principles of air quality before dedicating sections to mold and VOCs, detailing their sources, chemical properties, and health effects. It then explores the interplay between these pollutants and the human body, focusing on respiratory and allergic responses. Finally, it discusses practical strategies for improving indoor air quality, including preventative measures and technological solutions.

By drawing from environmental science, public health, and building science, this book empowers readers to identify risks, implement effective remediation, and make informed decisions for healthier indoor environments.
