ABSTRACT
Human health is greatly affected by indoor air quality (IAQ) as we spend much of our time indoors. Despite variances in construction practices, climatic conditions and life styles, industrialised countries throughout the world are facing similar IAQ problems, unique to modern building technology. One third of users in new or refurbished buildings complain of a perception of ‘bad air’ and disturbed well-being. This chapter focuses on domestic indoor air quality research and some research biases in this field.
