Nach wie vor das einzige Buch, das sich ausschließlich der Analytik von Luft in Innenräumen widmet! In vier übersichtlich organisierten Teilen behandelt das Werk Schadstoffmessung, Strategien der Luftüberwachung, Feldstudien und Emissionsstudien. In diesem Kontext werden die physikochemischen Eigenschaften der relevanten organischen Verbindungen besprochen, Emissionsquellen erörtert und Nachweisverfahren verglichen. Zu den Beispielen zählen etwa die Innenräume von Autos, Museen, Büros und klimatisierten Gebäuden. Für diese Neuauflage wurde das Material durchgehend überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Hinzugekommen sind unter anderem Informationen zu den Emissionen elektronischer Geräte.

Tunga Salthammer has conducted research at the Physics Department of Strathclyde University in Glasgow, UK, prior to joining the Fraunhofer-Institute for Wood Research, Wilhelm-Klauditz-Institute (WKI) in 1990. Here, he is currently Head of the Department 'Chemical Technology and Environmental Research'. In 2003 he joined the University of Applied Sciences Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel as a Professor for Indoor Hygiene. He has been elected to the International Academy of Indoor Air Sciences (IAIAS), and is a member of the Editorial Board of the journal 'Indoor Air'.
