applied, for example, to motor vehicle engines and to the fuels they burn, i.e. to the permanent characteristics of the sources. Such calculations are easier when applied to outdoor air; the wide range of types of dwelling and their levels of ventilation makes calculations more difficult for the indoor environment. Nevertheless, adoption of the guidelines presented in this volume as benchmarks for such models and actions is a useful option for reducing the adverse effects of indoor air pollution on health.
