KW  - Health Effects of Indoor Air Quality
N2  - WHO(World Health Organization) have examined many risk factors that impact theglobal burden of disease and has revealed that indoor pollution is responsiblefor 2.7% of the global burden of disease from that ranking eight reason.Besides the effects of ambient air quality in terms of healthy environmentalhealth effects of indoor air is also important.According to Gullu G et al; the ambient air composition, the type of indoorenvironment, the volume of indoor air, the rate of production and the rate ofpollutant emission are important for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Myers I andcolleagues have reported that IAQ breakdown can lead to various respiratorydiseases (asthma), allergic diseases (hypersensitivity pneumonia) and cancer.Brunekreef B. and colleagues found a direct relationship between air pollutionlevels from particulate matter (particulate matter: complex mixtures ofinorganic and organic substances suspended in the atmosphere) and respiratorytract problems and admission and death cases to hospitals. Buyuk Y. and hiscolleagues reported lethal H2S poisoning in sewerage work in Turkey and inindustrial business lines. Son JY's study in Korea found a relationship betweenair pollution level and post neonatal infant mortality. In the study of PopeCa, every 10μg / m3 reduction in airborne particulate matter concentrationssignificantly increased the average life expectancy. In a four-year cohort ofschool children in California, there was a significant association betweenbronchial symptoms and increased levels of PM2.5, organic carbon, NO2, and O3in asthmatic children.The most important issue in the prevention of indoor air pollution is to increasepublic awareness. Compliance with international standards in the constructionis an important step in the prevention of indoor air pollution. Mainly forenterprises with inadequate ventilation systems and working conditions,continuous planned epidemiological studies and regular measurement isnecessary.  Keywords:IndoorAir Quality, pollutants, employee health
