Epidemiology for Indoor Air Quality Problems

  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:
Handbook of Indoor Air Quality

Abstract

People spend as much as 90% of their time in confined environments. A large number of previous environmental epidemiological studies have confirmed the association between indoor air pollution and population health, but there are still some limitations and deficiencies in the epidemiological studies on indoor air quality and population health. This chapter discusses the health effects of indoor air pollution on the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and other systems from the perspective of short-term health effects and long-term health effects. The health outcome indexes commonly used in indoor air quality and population health research were summarized. The epidemiological studies on indoor smoking, nitrogen dioxide, TVOC, and radon were discussed as special examples in detail. This chapter also points out the problems existing in the current research on indoor air quality and population health and puts forward the prospect of future research.
