Indoor Air Quality As A Human Right

While air pollution is a fertile terrain of intense scholarly scrutiny in its outdoor perspective, the indoor one is still devoid of an extensive discussion. In a contribution that appears to be, the first one to devote time to this niche area, the purpose of this study is to discuss and analyse the legislative state-of-the-art of this new discipline. In examining the very limited judgments available on this topic, the focus of the paper is on the different jurisdictions where the matter has drawn the attention of Courts, first and foremost the British Isles. However, upon further scrutiny, the paper shows that, given the Court decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, there are obvious constitutional law implications entailed to this subject.
