AB  - Exposure  to  air  pollution  is  ubiquitous  and  a  major  cause  of  global  morbidity  and  mortality.  This  chapter  provides  a  broad  introduction  to  indoor  and  outdoor  air  pollution,  beginning  with  a  brief  review  of  the  emergence  and  recognition  of  air  pollution  as  a  major  public  health  concern.  The  chapter  then  reviews  general  principles  and  concepts  related  to  inhalation  injury,  exposure,  and  health  outcomes.  The  health  consequences  of  indoor  and  outdoor  air  pollution  are  covered  separately,  although  this  distinction  is  largely  artificial,  given  the  significant  overlap  in  exposure  between  pollutants  found  in  indoor  and  outdoor  locations.  While  the  emphasis  of  the  chapter  is  on  respiratory  health  effects,  the  extrapulmonary  effects  of  air  pollutants  are  briefly  discussed.  The  chapter  concludes  with  a  discussion  of  susceptible  populations  and  different  control  strategies,  aimed  both  at  public  health  and  individual  levels.
