最重要的室内空气污染物已经通过个别国家的准则或建议得到处理。然而，需要一套针对这些污染物的室内空气质量（IAQ）的国际准则或建议，以制定此类标准的一般和统一规则为基础。在制定建议或准则之前，需要对危害较小的污染物进行重大研究。在过渡时期，预防原则应导致对这些次要因果关系的ALARA原则。应该指出的是，挥发性有机化合物（VOC）作为室内空气质量问题仍然处于临时解决方案阶段的末尾，处于研究阶段的中间，并且仅处于监管阶段的开始。这方面的任何最终官方规定都是暂定的，最终规定必须等待进一步的研究。总挥发性有机化合物（TVOC）是室内VOC存在的指标。总挥发性有机化合物指标可用于暴露特征和来源识别，但仅用于挥发性有机化合物，而不是作为其他污染物及其健康影响的指标。在风险评估中，TVOC指标只能用作筛选工具，并且只能用于感官刺激。
The most important indoor air pollutants have already been addressed with individual national guidelines or recommendations. However, an international set of guidelines or recommendations for indoor air quality (IAQ) is needed for these pollutants based on general and uniform rules for setting such standards. A major research need exist on the less adverse pollutants before recommendations or guidelines can be established. In the interim period a precaution principle should lead to an ALARA principle for these secondary causalities. It should be noted that volatile organic compound (VOC) a an IAQ problem still is in the end of a phase of ad hoc solutions, in the middle of a research phase and only in the beginning of a regulatory phase. Any final official regulation in this area will have to be tentative and the final regulation must await further research. Total volatile organic compound (TVOC) is an indicator for the presence of VOC indoors. The TVOC indicator can be used in relation to exposure characterization and source identification but for VOCs only, not as an indictor of other pollutants and their health effects. In risk assessment the TVOC indicator can only be used as a screening tool and only for sensory irritation.
