Description:
In the past indoor environmental risk management has, for the most part, focused on control of primary pollutants, which enter the indoor environment directly from outdoor and indoor sources. Recent developments in indoor chemistry suggest that secondary pollutants, generated by chemical reactions in indoor air and on interior surfaces, may be more important than the primary pollutants, and that many types of chemically based air cleaning and decontamination methods have been developed but some have unwanted consequences. This paper provides a brief overview of the recent advances in indoor chemistry and its relevance to indoor environment risk management.
