What Causes Indoor Air Pollution?

When people think about air pollution, they imagine smog-filled city streets and lines of vehicles spewing exhaust. However, they rarely think that the air in their homes is dirty, but that’s often the case. So, what causes indoor air pollution?

  • Combustion Sources: Burning fossil fuels like gas for your stove or wood in your fireplace can release harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter into the house. Tobacco smoke is another significant combustion-related pollutant that gets embedded in clothing, carpets, and furniture.
  • Household Cleaners: You may not realize it, but many of your favorite cleaning products are significant sources of indoor air pollution. Some products emit harsh chemicals and volatile organic compounds, irritating your eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
  • Biological Contaminants: Mold, dust mites, pet dander, and pollen are among the most common indoor air pollutants. The problem is that most modern homes are tightly sealed for insulation purposes, but this prevents contaminants from escaping.
