The quality of our indoor environments affects well-being and productivity, and risks for diverse diseases are increased by indoor air pollutants, surface contamination with toxins and microbes, and contact among people at home, at work, in transportation, and in many other public and private places. We offer an overview of nearly a century of research directed at understanding indoor environments and health, consider current research needs, and set out policy matters that need to be addressed if we are to have the healthiest possible built environments. The policy context for built environments extends beyond health considerations to include energy use for air-conditioning, selection of materials for sustainability, and design for safety, security, and productivity.
我们室内环境的质量会影响幸福感和生产力，室内空气污染物、毒素和微生物对表面的污染，以及在家中、工作场所、交通中以及许多其他公共和私人场所人与人之间的接触，都会增加患各种疾病的风险。我们概述了近一个世纪以来旨在了解室内环境与健康的研究，考虑了当前的研究需求，并阐述了如果我们想要拥有尽可能健康的建筑环境就需要解决的政策问题。建筑环境的政策背景不仅限于健康考量，还包括空调的能源使用、可持续材料的选择以及安全、安保和生产力方面的设计。
