Abstract

Indoor air quality is an essential component of sustainable housing. To create sustainable settings, health dangers such as mould and other allergens, combustion pollutants, volatile organic compounds, radon, lead, and asbestos must be avoided. Ways of doing so include the use of water-managed building foundations, site drainage, adequate ventilation, informed selection of equipment for space conditioning and water heating, material choices, and sub-slab ventilation. Lead and asbestos are issues in the rehabilitation of older homes, and they are dealt with using well-established best practises. The goal of this study is to look at indoor environmental toxins, their effects on human health, and ways to avoid and reduce exposure. Materials used for this purpose include books, journal publications, and internet resources.  The presence of asthma triggers in houses has become a more important indoor environmental concern, which will be discussed in greater detail.
