TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed that indoor air pollution would frequently exceed the safe ambient air quality standards because of additional and poorly controlled sources indoors, and they proposed a low-pollution outdoor conditions.Abstract:
Urban industrial air pollution has been the primary concern of the public health authorities in the industrialized countries for a long time. However, during the last 15 years, industrial ambient air pollution control has been established successfully. In general, outdoor exposures to noxious air pollutants are reasonably close to the ambient air quality standards designed by the public health agencies for warranting health safety for the public. Meanwhile, after establishing low-pollution outdoor conditions, it has been increasingly recognized that indoor air pollution would frequently exceed the safe ambient air quality standards because of additional and poorly controlled sources indoors.read more

New approach to environmental tobacco smoke exposure and its relation to reemission processes.
TL;DR: Indoor air quality is one of the factors that determine human well-being and health, and reports on secondary and indirect emissions, especially those focused on mechanisms by which pollution is "transferred" by materials used in interior furnishings are very rare.
New approach to environmental tobacco smoke exposure and its relation to reemission processes
TL;DR: The role of textile floor coverings in ETS exposure has been only fragmentary documented as mentioned in this paper, and studies on this aspect of the role played by textile materials in exposure are very rare, especially those focused on mechanisms by which pollution is transferred by materials used in interior furnishings.

Indoor air pollution, tobacco smoke, and public health

TL;DR: It is shown that nonsmokers are exposed to significant air pollution burdens from indoor smoking and an assessment of the public health policy implications of these burdens is presented.

A Study of Indoor Air Quality
TL;DR: In this article, an indoor/outdoor sampling program was carried out for NO, NO2, and CO in four private houses which had gas stoves and the results of the program showed that indoor levels of NO and NO2 are directly related to stove use in the homes tested.

Differences in NO 2 levels in kitchens with gas or electric cookers
TL;DR: In this article, the reliability of personal samplers for measuring the concentration of atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was investigated in kitchens and the results indicated that further research is needed to determine whether the high levels of NO2 found in gas kitchens have adverse effects on health.

Indoor air pollutants.
TL;DR: New methods, particularly immunologic, are urgently needed to quantitate the dose response to multiple combinations of chemicals and determine their significance for the health of the tight-box generation of children.
