[Indoor air pollution: current aspects].
Due to the high percentage of time spent indoors, indoor air contributes significantly to human exposure via inhalation. Up to now, toxicology-based guideline values for indoor air pollutants are very sparse. Examples are the WHO Air Quality Guidelines for Europe or guideline values published by an ad-hoc group formed from members of the Indoor Air Commission of the Federal German Environmental Agency and of the Environmental Hygiene Committee of the Consortium of German Health Ministries of the German "Leander" (provincial governments). By comparison with recent representative data referring to comparable indoor environments, rooms with unusually high concentrations can be identified. However, this is not an adequate basis for health risk assessment.
