Domestic gas apparatus generate oxides of nitrogen (NO_x), which have been classed in recent years as problem products in the context of indoor air quality (IAQ). These, together with carbon monoxide which may also be present in the products of gas combustion, mean that the formulation of regulations for health protection presents complex problems. The present work shows the importance of this matter and presents interesting case studies taken from the Basque Country and our area of influence. It also makes specific recommenda tions as to how existing regulations should be changed.

Key Words: Wall-mounted combination boilers • Top burners • LPG • Nitrogen oxides • Ventilation
