How a harm budget can be used to regulate Indoor Air Quality in Dwellings

This work quantifies the chronic harm caused by long-term exposure to common indoor air contaminants in dwellings located in the global north. Two methods are used to compute DALYs. The first uses incidence data and the second considers toxicological evidence. They are synthesised to produce Harm Intensities, the number of DALYs per person per unit of annual-average concentration the person is exposed to.
