Indoor air quality guidelines [PDF]

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2002
“Health-based standards exist for outdoor air, and there are good arguments for developing equivalent indoor air quality guidelines” It seems self evident that if there are health based standards for outdoor air quality, there is no reason that there should not also be standards applied to the indoor environment. After all, it is indoors that we spend
