Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) plays a crucial role in human health, as individuals spend a significant portion of their time indoors. Many existing studies overlook the compounded effects of common environmental factors like temperature and humidity, as well as the health risks posed by long-term exposure to indoor pollutants. However, this review tries to explore how modern building materials, and indoor activities impact IAQ, with a focus on key pollutants such as ultrafine particulate matter (PM2.5 and smaller), volatile organic compounds ammonia, formaldehyde, chlorine, and radon. The review emphasizes the need for more research on IAQ, especially in developing regions, heritage settlements, and the need for standardized evaluation approaches. Moreover, there is a need of practical and affordable solutions that integrate advanced sensing technologies, real-time data insights, and easy-to-use systems to enable people to aware and take control of their IAQ. This review highlights the importance of more rigorous research, creative strategies, and strong policy support to address these challenges, particularly for communities in developing regions, crowded spaces, and vulnerable populations. The main motive is to enhance understanding of indoor air pollution and promote the development of healthier, more sustainable indoor environments. The objective is to support SDG-3 Good Health and Well Being, SDG-11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG-13 Climate Action.

摘要

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) plays a crucial role in human health, as individuals spend a significant portion of their time indoors. Many existing studies overlook the compounded effects of common environmental factors like temperature and humidity, as well as the health risks posed by long-term exposure to indoor pollutants. However, this review tries to explore how modern building materials, and indoor activities impact IAQ, with a focus on key pollutants such as ultrafine particulate matter (PM2.5 and smaller), volatile organic compounds ammonia, formaldehyde, chlorine, and radon. The review emphasizes the need for more research on IAQ, especially in developing regions, heritage settlements, and the need for standardized evaluation approaches. Moreover, there is a need of practical and affordable solutions that integrate advanced sensing technologies, real-time data insights, and easy-to-use systems to enable people to aware and take control of their IAQ. This review highlights the importance of more rigorous research, creative strategies, and strong policy support to address these challenges, particularly for communities in developing regions, crowded spaces, and vulnerable populations. The main motive is to enhance understanding of indoor air pollution and promote the development of healthier, more sustainable indoor environments. The objective is to support SDG-3 Good Health and Well Being, SDG-11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG-13 Climate Action.
