Efficient reduction of indoor exposures - Health benefits from optimizing ventilation, filtration and indoor source controls
Indoor exposures to air pollutants are associated with a significant burden of
disease. In EU-27 the burden is estimated to be over 2 million healthy life years
annually. This report investigates how this burden can be mitigated and in
particular presents health based estimates for ventilation, including discussion of
necessary control strategies for indoor sources and filtration needs for polluted
outdoor air.
The report allows for construction engineers, health professionals and legislators
to weight the benefits of various strategies for optimal control of the health risks.
Energy efficiency impacts are also shortly covered.Revised version, updated 25th November, 2014, pp. 44, 45, 4
