CO2 in indoor environments: From environmental and health risk to potential renewable carbon source

L. R. Lopez et al.

Summary: In developed countries, poor indoor air quality has a significant impact on human health. The burden of disease related to indoor air pollution leads to millions of premature deaths. CO2 is the most common indoor air pollutant, and its concentration can be higher indoors due to human activities. Despite ventilation efforts, controlling CO2 concentration below recommended levels is a challenge, with many indoor environments exceeding the threshold. This review explores the issues associated with poor indoor air quality and highlights the potential of indoor CO2 direct air capture to purify air and contribute to the circular economy.
