Systemic inequalities in indoor air pollution exposure in London, UK
Buildings & Cities, 2021 Deprived communities in many cities are exposed to higher levels of outdoor air pollution, and there is increasing evidence of similar disparities for indoor air pollution exposure. There is a need to understand the drivers for this exposure disparity in

A state–of–the-art review on indoor air pollution and strategies for indoor air pollution control [PDF]
Chemosphere, 2021 Indoor air pollution has traditionally received less attention than outdoors pollution despite indoors pollutant levels are typically twice higher, and people spend 80-90% of their life in increasing air-tight buildings. More than 5 million people die every year prematurely from illnesses attributable to poor indoor air quality, which also causes multi-

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 Air pollution affects health, but much of the focus to this point has been on outdoor air. Higher indoor pollution is anticipated due to increasingly energy-efficient and less leaky buildings together with more indoor activities.

Indoor Air Pollution and Health: Bridging Perspectives from Developing and Developed Countries
Annual Review Environment and Resources, 2022 Much of the global population spends most of their time indoors; however, air pollution measurement, a proxy of exposure, occurs primarily outdoors. This fundamental disconnect between where the people are and where the measurements are made likely leads
