Abstract:
Ozone pollution can not only cause serious effects on human respiratory tract, lung, cardiovascular and immune system, but also lead to secondary pollution of indoor air environment by reacting with human surface sebum, building materials surface and other indoor compounds. As people stay indoors for more than 90% of their time, indoor ozone exposure is far more harmful than outdoor ozone exposure. Indoor ozone mainly comes from the outdoor environment. Therefore, it is an important prerequisite for controlling indoor ozone pollution to master the characteristics of indoor ozone pollution conc

Abstract:
Air pollution is a pollution of the indoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agents that change the atmosphere's natural characteristics. Household burning tools, motor vehicles, industrial solutions, and forest fires are the common origin of air pollution. Indoor air pollutants are removed for household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, heating, cosmetics, and wall paint. Indoor air pollutants are ten to twenty times higher than health guidelines for typical urban outdoor concentrations. The utilization of solid fuels for cooking and baking is probably the most significan

Pakistan’s urban air pollution is among the most severe in the world. In November 2024, Lahore-Pakistan became the most polluted city in the world. The toxic smog has left citizens struggling to breathe, and over 15,000 people have been hospitalized. There are numerous causes of pollution across the major cities of Pakistan; pollution put out by vehicles and factories, and the stubble burning taking place in the winter months. A combination of legislative, technological and social behavioural changes is to be made to solve this problem. Air pollutions is injurious to human health. Wearing mask

Abstract:
Abstract A vast majority of people today spend more time indoors than outdoors. However, the air quality indoors may be as bad as or even worse than the air quality outside. This is due to the continuous circulation of the same air without proper ventilation and filtration systems, causing a buildup of pollutants. As such, indoor air quality monitoring should be considered more seriously. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a measure of the air quality within and around buildings and relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. To determine the IAQ, computer modeling is done to simulate th

Abstract:
The quality of living space largely depends on the quality of indoor air. The physical and chemical properties of the air people breathe can affect their health and comfort. Indoor air pollution in residential and workplace environments can occur due to various activities of occupants or employees, such as cooking, smoking, and using electronic devices, as well as emissions of pollutants from building materials and the use of certain products. Pollutants that can be present indoors include carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, aerosols, biological conta

Abstract:
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important issue, considering that modern people spend most of their time indoors in houses, workplaces, recreation areas. IAQ has a serious impact on human health, comfort, performance, and wellbeing. In order to minimize the negative consequences, considerable efforts are made to assure the high quality of the indoor air. In the present paper, indoor pollution is analysed in light of its effect on IAQ and human health. The indoor pollutants are due to the presence of higher concentrations of chemical species, physical processes or biologicals in the ambient air.

Abstract:
Urban civilization has a high impact on the environment and human health. The pollution level of indoor air can be 2–5 times higher than the outdoor air pollution, and sometimes it reaches up to 100 times or more in natural/mechanical ventilated buildings. Even though people spend about 90% of their time indoors, the importance of indoor air quality is less noticed. Indoor air pollution can be treated with techniques such as chemical purification, ventilation, isolation, and removing pollutions by plants (phytoremediation). Among these techniques, phytoremediation is not given proper attention
