Abstract
Over the last decades, environmental pollution has become the main environmental risk to human being health due to the rise regarding waste production, in particular toward the air matrix. At the legislative level, European Directives set air quality objectives to prevent and protect human being health. Nevertheless, the European legislation only applies to outdoor environments, despite people pass ~90% of their time in inside spaces. It exists scientific studies sustain the presence of higher air pollutant levels in indoor than outdoor locations. For this reason, research studies for enlarging knowledge on indoor air quality result priority. Within the previous frame, this chapter aims to provide an indoor air quality benchmark, in terms of potential emission focuses, concentrations, impact on health, and methodologies for measuring air pollutants, focused on indoor air quality managers, control technicians, and potential students. The impact of indoor air quality should be considered at the global level due to several factors, such as indoor pollution is particular for each location, indoor-outdoor air inter-change, and atmospheric pollution is cross-border. The application of new computer tools (IoT and AI) on current and novel measuring air pollution technologies offers a unique chance for inside air quality management.
