Challenges and solutions to monitoring indoor pollution

More about the book

That the air we breathe can affect our health is seen most dramatically in occupations where dirty work is carried out in an enclosed environment such as a factory or a mine. However, also the office or domestic environment may be polluted to a degree that the health of the workers or the occupants is threatened. In order to assess the degree of pollution, whether for advisory or regulatory reasons, measurement methods had to be standardized and equipment to be used in an occupied space without upsetting the occupants had to be developed. This publication provides invaluable information to all those responsible for monitoring the indoor environment, to scientists using and maintaining equipment to do such monitoring, and to those researching any aspect of indoor pollution. In addition, public health and social workers who are responsible for problems concerned with indoor air quality will find it beneficial reading.
