Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical aspect of environmental health, as people spend a significant amount of their time indoors. Poor IAQ can lead to various health issues, particularly affecting vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions. This synthesis examines the impact of indoor air quality on health, drawing insights from multiple research studies.

Indoor air quality significantly impacts health, particularly affecting respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Major indoor pollutants such as particulate matter and volatile organic compounds contribute to a range of health issues, including asthma, COPD, and cardiovascular diseases. Vulnerable groups, including children and individuals with pre-existing conditions, are at higher risk. Effective interventions, such as improving ventilation and using air purifiers, can mitigate these health risks. Understanding and addressing the sources of indoor pollutants are essential for promoting healthier indoor environments.
