Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) emerged as a science from the 1970s onwards with the energy crisis and the subsequent construction of sealed buildings (without natural ventilation). This mainly occurred in developed countries and it soon came to public attention that lower levels of air exchange in these environments was the main culprit for the increase in concentration of indoor air pollutants. It is common knowledge that ventilation is one of the principal factors that interfere with air quality in indoor environments and that the occupants contribute to the pollution of these environments with their activities. Furthermore, poor indoor air quality is associated with some diseases (cough, rhinitis, allergy, etc.) and with Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). For sampling of the indoor contaminants there are several methodologies, available including passive monitoring systems, active and automatic systems. To ensure a healthy indoor environment, the application of specific legislation needs to be reconciled with research and fostering awareness among the occupants of such buildings. This survey seeks to identify the different contaminants found in internal environments, their effects on human health and the methodologies available for sampling them.
室内空气质量（IAQ）自20世纪70年代起随着能源危机以及随后密封建筑（无自然通风）的建造而成为一门科学。这主要发生在发达国家，很快公众就注意到这些环境中较低的空气交换水平是室内空气污染物浓度增加的主要原因。众所周知，通风是影响室内环境空气质量的主要因素之一，居住者的活动也会导致这些环境受到污染。此外，室内空气质量差与一些疾病（咳嗽、鼻炎、过敏等）以及病态建筑综合症（SBS）有关。对于室内污染物的采样，有多种方法可供使用，包括被动监测系统、主动和自动系统。为确保健康的室内环境，需要将具体法规的应用与研究以及提高此类建筑居住者的意识相结合。本次调查旨在识别室内环境中发现的不同污染物、它们对人类健康的影响以及可用于对其进行采样的方法。
