Nossos prédios e cidades em todo o mundo são responsáveis por produzir poluição do ar tanto em ambientes externos quanto internos. Continue lendo para obter mais informações sobre a variedade de diferentes causas que podem afetar a saúde humana e o meio ambiente.
A poluição do ar do ambiente ou do ar livre é causada por uma série de fatores, incluindo transporte, agricultura e resíduos [1]. No entanto, a contribuição do ambiente construído, nas fases de construção e operacional, não pode ser subestimada.
