Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. Understanding and controlling common indoor pollutants helps reduce the risk of indoor health concerns.

The health effects of indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or, possibly, years later.

Whilst extensive research has already been conducted, studies approaching the Indoor Air Quality problem as a whole are still lacking.

There are multiple data sources for IAQ, public health, reference values from WHO, occupational exposure limits, standards, and many scientific publications.

However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the identification of the determinants that account for all these sources and considering all the relevant impact categories

No in-depth analysis of the effects of IAQ on human health exist for most environments and settings.

Additionally, vulnerable groups are not protected enough under the prevention criteria.
