World Bank, Clean Air Initiative: Indoor Air Pollution

Description:Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) is caused by a variety of sources that release gases or particles into interior spaces. Air quality deteriorates further if ventilation is not sufficient, dilution with cleaner outdoor air is limited, and if additional factors such as high temperature and humidity are added. This site looks particularly at vulnerable populations to indoor air pollution.
