This book provides information about indoor air pollution, a principal air pollution source. The Consumer Federation of America reports that indoor air pollution costs the U.S. up to $100 billion annually in medical expenses and lost production, and it accounts for up to half of all illness in the United States each year. This book from a life Sciences Symposium includes discussion of indoor air and human health, measurement and source characterization, habitat studies, health effects, risk analysis and future needs.
