A Beginner's Guide To Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air pollution poses a major threat to public health, with most people unknowingly exposed on a daily basis.

This accessible guide explains why the air inside our homes, offices, schools, and public buildings is often more polluted than the air outside, what that means for our health, and what can be done to improve it.

This guide is aimed at facilities managers in offices, hotels, leisure spaces, and schools, and is also increasingly relevant for those working from home. It outlines the causes and effects of poor indoor air quality and offers practical, low-cost strategies to create healthier indoor environments.

Produced by Mitsubishi Electric in partnership with BESA and Global Action Plan, the guide includes:

• Clear explanations of common indoor pollutants and their effects
• Practical tips on ventilation, filtration, and air quality monitoring
• Simple improvements for small workplaces and domestic environments
• Useful links to standards, further resources, and implementation toolkits
