Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important consideration for health and well-being as people spend most of their time indoors. Multi-disciplinary interest in IAQ is growing, resulting in more empirical research, especially in affordable housing settings, given disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. Conceptually, there is little coherency among these case studies; they traverse diverse spatial scales, indoor and outdoor environments, and populations, making it difficult to implement research findings in any given setting. We employ a social-ecological systems (SES) framework to review and categorize existing interventions and other literature findings to elucidate relationships among spatially and otherwise diverse IAQ factors. This perspective is highly attentive to the role of agency, highlighting individual, household, and organizational behaviors and constraints in managing IAQ. When combined with scientific knowledge about the effectiveness of IAQ interventions, this approach favors actionable strategies for reducing the presence of indoor pollutants and personal exposures.
室内空气质量 (IAQ) 是健康和福祉的重要考虑因素，因为人们大部分时间都在室内度过。多学科对室内空气质量的兴趣日益浓厚，特别是在经济适用房环境中，因为这对弱势群体产生了不成比例的影响。从概念上讲，这些案例研究之间几乎没有一致性；它们跨越不同的空间尺度、室内和室外环境以及人群，使得在任何给定环境中实施研究结果变得困难。我们采用社会-生态系统 (SES) 框架来审查和分类现有的干预措施和其他文献发现，以阐明空间和其他方面不同的室内空气质量因素之间的关系。这种观点非常关注机构的作用，强调个人、家庭和组织在管理室内空气质量方面的行为和限制。当与关于室内空气质量干预措施有效性的科学知识相结合时，这种方法有利于采取减少室内污染物和个人暴露的可行策略。
