This professional guide examines the ways housing conditions affect health and safety. It brings together evidence and recommendations on inadequate living space, indoor cold and heat, injury hazards and accessibility for people with functional impairments. The chapters connect features of buildings and their use with the assessment of health risks.
The volume explains how the guidelines were developed and how their recommendations may be implemented. It also summarizes related WHO material on water and air quality, neighbourhood noise, asbestos, lead, tobacco smoke and radon. Intended for planners, regulators, building professionals and public-health practitioners, the complete 2018 publication includes its evidence discussions, references and annexes.
