Indoor air in residential dwellings can contain a variety of chemicals, sometimes pre-
sent at concentrations or in combinations which can have a negative impact on human
health. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) surveys are often required to characterize human
exposure or to investigate IAQ concerns and complaints. Such surveys should include
sufficient contextual information to elucidate sources, pathways, and the magnitude
of exposures. The aim of this review was to investigate and describe the parame-
ters that affect IAQ in residential dwellings: building location, layout, and ventilation,
finishing materials, occupant activities, and occupant demography. About 180 peer-
reviewed articles, published from 01/2013 to 09/2021 (plus some important earlier
publications), were reviewed. The importance of the building parameters largely de-
pends on the study objectives and whether the focus is on a specific pollutant or to
assess health risk. When considering classical pollutants such as particulate matter
(PM) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the building parameters can have a sig-
nificant impact on IAQ, and detailed information of these parameters needs to be reported in each study. Research gaps and suggestions for the future studies together
with recommendation of where measurements should be done are also provided.
