Resumen

Indoor air pollution has gained importance in recent years due to its direct contact with humans and its greater potential for harm. In this context, the objective of the study was to compare indoor PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations with the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline. The methodology of the PRISMA 2020 statement was used, the bibliographic review was in 5 digital databases. The annual growth rate of scientific production was determined using the digital calculator Calcuvio, while data analysis was carried out with Microsoft Office Excel and VOSviewer. Approximately 80% of studies did not exceed the WHO guideline; the most studied indoor environment and pollution sources were homes and road traffic/cigarette smoke. The year and country with the highest scientific output were 2014 and the United States, respectively, with an annual growth rate in scientific production (1984-2024) of 13.49%. The most frequently appearing keyword was "particulate matter."The study concludes that corrective measures should be implemented to reduce particulate matter indoors, given that humans spend the majority of their lives in these environments.
