[The management of indoor and outdoor pollutions].
We are living daily more than 22 hours into occupational/domestic building. Consequently, the exposure to indoor pollutants could play a major role in human health. The main indoor pollutants are the allergens, CO, NO2 and fine particles. A body of data suggests that the ventilation of the indoor air, by opening the windows, could limit the risk to develop health problems. The last conclusion is supported by the data reported in this short review on indoor/outdoor pollution.
