Efficient reduction of indoor exposures - Health benefits from optimizing ventilation, filtration and indoor source controls

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Indoor exposures to air pollutants are associated with a significant burden of \ndisease. In EU-27 the burden is estimated to be over 2 million healthy life years \nannually. This report investigates how this burden can be mitigated and in \nparticular presents health based estimates for ventilation, including discussion of \nnecessary control strategies for indoor sources and filtration needs for polluted \noutdoor air. \nThe report allows for construction engineers, health professionals and legislators \nto weight the benefits of various strategies for optimal control of the health risks. \nEnergy efficiency impacts are also shortly covered.
