Abstract

Indoor air pollution is an objectionable consequence of our modern society. Urbanization, industrialization, energy conservation, microbial contamination, chemical or particulate emissions from heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems, synthetic construction materials and interior furnishings, and employment demographics interact to degrade indoor air quality. Public health concern over indoor air quality issues, kindled by the discovery of numerous cases of air pollution-related illness, has stimulated notable research, regulatory and litigatory activities. Contemporaneous with the increased public concern over indoor air pollution, extraordinary discoveries have led to further definition and exploitation of the immune system. While a functional immune apparatus is essential to host defense and homeostasis, unfortunately, it is also exquisitely sensitive to toxic damage. Because of the significant exposure potential, interactions between indoor air pollutants and the immune system warrant careful examination.
