Ventilation and air pollution in buildings

Abstract

Pure air to breathe is a fundamental human need. The critical aspect is not oxygen content, which is hardly ever inadequate in buildings, but the presence in the air of various substances which affect health. The adverse effects of some pollution were recognised in antiquity and in classical times many buildings enjoyed excellent ventilation.
