Air quality health impacts. Health Impact Decrease in air quality can impact public health in multiple ways. Increased formation of O3 more frequent and larger wildfires that significantly reduce air quality as well as longer exposure time to allergens are all associated with many health problems. Air pollution is a major cause of premature death and disease and is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe.

This article reviews our current understanding of the relationship between indoor air pollution and health. Indoor pollutants can emanate from a range of sources. The health impacts from indoor exposure to combustion products from heating cooking and the smoking of tobacco.
IAQX helps users analyze the impact of pollutant sources and sinks ventilation and air cleaners. It performs conventional IAQ simulations to calculate the pollutant concentration andor personal exposure as a function of time. It can also estimate adequate ventilation rates based on user-provided air quality criteria.
