Indoor Air Indoor Air Quality U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
An official overview of indoor environmental conditions, common pollutant sources, ventilation, moisture, and exposure.
Key context EPA reports that Americans spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors and that indoor conditions are influenced by activities, building operation, and outdoor air.
Read external resource ↗ Homeowner Education Introduction to Indoor Air Quality U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Explains the factors that affect air within and around buildings and practical approaches to understanding indoor conditions.
Key context Source control, ventilation, and filtration are among the strategies EPA discusses for addressing indoor pollutants.
Read external resource ↗ Particles Indoor Particulate Matter U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Explains particle sizes, indoor and outdoor sources, and approaches for reducing particulate matter indoors.
Key context Particles can come from indoor activities and outdoor air, and their behavior varies by size, source, ventilation, and filtration.
Read external resource ↗ Indoor Air Air Pollution World Health Organization
A global overview of indoor and outdoor air pollution and the importance of reducing unnecessary exposure.
Key context WHO identifies particulate matter and several gases among pollutants of public-health concern.
Read external resource ↗ Environmental Monitoring WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines World Health Organization
Evidence-based global guidance covering particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
Key context The guidelines provide population-level reference values and are not a certification framework for a specific building or CLARVON measurement.
Read external resource ↗ HVAC Indoor Environmental Quality National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Workplace-oriented information about ventilation, building conditions, and environmental factors that can affect occupant concerns.
Key context Indoor environmental investigations require context, building information, and appropriate professional evaluation.
Read external resource ↗ Ventilation The Effects of Ventilation and Filtration on Indoor PM2.5 in Office Buildings Peer-reviewed research · Building and Environment
A year-long study of PM2.5 in 37 office buildings across four countries with mechanical or mixed-mode ventilation.
Key context The study examines how ventilation and filtration configurations relate to indoor PM2.5 under real operating conditions.
Read external resource ↗ Ventilation Effectiveness of a Mechanical Ventilation System for Indoor PM2.5 Peer-reviewed research · Atmosphere
Research examining indoor PM2.5 behavior with mechanical ventilation under varying outdoor conditions.
Key context The findings illustrate why ventilation, outdoor air, and filtration context matter when interpreting environmental measurements.
