Health Effects of Indoor Air Pollution 1st Edition

Health Effects of Indoor Air Pollution, 1st Edition by Mohammad Hadi Dehghani, Rama Rao Karri, Teresa Vera, and Salwa Kamal Mohamed Hassan delivers a timely, authoritative guide to one of today’s most pressing public‑health challenges.

Discover clear, evidence‑based analysis of indoor air quality (IAQ): sources of pollution (combustion, VOCs, biological agents, radon, particulate matter), exposure pathways, and the short‑ and long‑term health consequences for children, adults, and vulnerable populations. Drawing on international research and real‑world case studies, the authors bridge environmental science, epidemiology, and practical mitigation—making this essential for public‑health professionals, environmental engineers, clinicians, policymakers, building managers, and advanced students.

The book stands out for its global perspective: it examines urban and rural contexts across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and addresses how climate, housing stock, and socioeconomic factors shape indoor exposures. Readers will find contemporary approaches to monitoring and assessment, risk communication, and cost‑effective strategies for ventilation, filtration, source control, and behavior change—useful for both developed and resource‑limited settings.

Practical and forward‑looking, this volume translates complex science into actionable guidance for improving respiratory, cardiovascular, and cognitive health outcomes tied to indoor environments. Whether you’re developing workplace policies, designing healthier homes, conducting research, or shaping regional public‑health interventions, this book equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions.

Add Health Effects of Indoor Air Pollution to your professional library to stay ahead in IAQ science and policy—an indispensable resource for tackling indoor air challenges at local, national, and global levels.
