New Perspectives in Indoor Air Quality provides readers with the latest scientific discoveries related to indoor air quality. After an in-depth introduction to indoor air quality and review of current air quality legislation, the book's chapters explore gaseous pollutants, particulate matter, ultrafine particles, and emerging contaminants. This is followed by analysis of formaldehyde emissions, VOCs, SVOCs, nanomaterials emissions, and combustion sources. From an assessment perspective, chapters include sampling approaches, traditional measuring instruments, automatic measuring instruments, assessment of bioaerosols, and geospatial analysis and modeling.Finally, the editors address the health effects of poor indoor air quality and examine how climate change has contributed to these issues. Fifteen detailed case studies round out the book to provide practical, real world understanding of the concepts covered throughout the preceding chapters.Analyzes different monitoring techniquesCovers the effects and consequences of climate change on indoor air qualityOverviews potential solutions and future perspectives to ensure a safe indoor environment
