Airborne contaminants cause significant harm to populations of people. People spend most of their time in their own homes and so their greatest exposure is likely to occur there. Existing standards that govern Acceptable Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in residential buildings only consider a few contaminants. Exposure to them is limited using threshold mean concentrations over some period of time, but they do consider the harm they cause to populations of people.

This study presents a health-centered approach to quantify and compare the chronic harm caused by indoor air contaminants using disability-adjusted life-year (DALY). The aim is to understand the chronic harm caused by airborne contaminants in dwellings and identify the most harmful. Epidemiological and toxicological evidence of population morbidity and mortality is used to determine harm intensities, a metric of chronic harm per unit of contaminant concentration. Uncertainty is evaluated in the concentrations of 45 indoor air contaminants commonly found in dwellings.
