Indoor Air PollutionWe spend most of our day inside. Therefore, the quality of our indoor air has a greater impact on our health than outside air. This lecture introduces students to indoor air pollution.

Global vs US
Globally, indoor air pollution is a major problem
- unsanitary conditions- smoke from indoor open
fire cooking- lack of controls in factory
environments

Global vs US
Domestically, indoor air pollution is also a challenge
- chemical usage- insulated spaces- mold
BUT…conditions aregenerally pretty good

Importance of Ventilation
• Houses that do not leak can trap pollutants• Important to circulate air from outside into house• Need for moisture control
