Air pollution is already a global public health crisis, as it kills seven million people each year, according to the World Health Organization. Presently, a correlation between health and air pollution levels recorded in the past exists. The paper presents series of instruments concerning IAC (Indoor Air Quality) measurements and focuses on indoor air quality measurements taken in different closed spaces, as example. Based on the concentration values detected, the conclusion of the paper indicates that, depending on the technological process or activity in enclosed spaces, it is mandatory to check the IAQ. This action must be taken as prevention, in order to reduce potential health risks upon humans, acting in their homes, or schools and offices or industrial halls, in general in closed spaces, even when artificially ventilated.
