Global indoor air pollution database
This Access database on indoor air pollution, commissioned by WHO and developed by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, aims to provide the scientific community with an overview of measured household indoor air pollution levels in about 250 communities around the world. Researchers can review and analyze findings within and across studies, and can either query the database directly or export the files into a statistical programme for in-depth analysis.
The database is available as Access 2000 and Access 1997 on the UC Berkeley web site:
For those users not familiar with Access, selected summary tables have been extracted into Excel spreadsheets:
-
References by country [xls, 32 kb]

Summary of indoor air pollution exposure assessment methods
