This refers not only to the time spent at home and at office premises, but also in shopping malls, recreation centers and transport vehicles. Concentrations of many pollutants are higher indoors than they are outdoors. Consequently, the indoor environment has a bigger impact on human health, well being and effectiveness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor Environment Engineering is a relatively new scientific discipline with an interdisciplinary character, using knowledge from chemistry, biology, medicine and engineering. Since the early 1990s, the number of studies in this area has grown significantly from research on indoor air parameters, new emerging pollutants in indoor air, energy saving systems of heating, to studies on ventilation and air-conditioning in buildings. Even though much progress has been made since then, a number of questions still remains open:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow can indoor air quality be measured? What are reliable, time- and cost-efficient methods? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow can indoor air quality be improved, investing as little energy as possible? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to minimize secondary pollution caused by air supply systems? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhich type of pollutants should research focus on? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn what way are we exposed to new pollutants (plasticizers, flame retardants, pesticides)?
