Summary
The presence of polluted air in the home from heating and cooking food is as old as civilization itself. In modern times the general public only became aware of the health hazards when the number of household chemicals increased dramatically… in the twentieth century. Few governmental regulations have been passed to regulate the home environment. The concept that the home is a man's castle has delayed the passing of governmental regulations that control the quality of the indoor environment. Standards are, however, being established by many private organizations.
