Importance of Indoor Air Quality Monitoring for Healthy and Comfortable Indoor Environment
It is crucial to understand the effects of indoor air pollution on the health and comfort of building occupants. Indoor air pollution, or indoor air quality (IAQ) problems, are caused by primary pollutant sources and inadequate ventilation. These pollutants can cause immediate effects such as irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, while long-term effects may result in respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer.
