Indoor Air Pollution Information

Programs that provide general information about the measures people can take to reduce the effects of indoor pollution and improve air quality in their homes, offices or other indoor settings. Indoor pollutants include carbon monoxide and other gases released from combustion sources such as oil, gas kerosene, coal, wood and tobacco products; household products such as air fresheners and cleaning solvents; emissions from malfunctioning stoves, furnaces or space heaters; toxins produced by building materials and furnishings; output from central heating and cooling systems and humidifiers; biological contaminants such as animal dander, insect parts from cockroaches and dust mites, molds and mildew, bacteria, viruses and pollen; and outdoor sources such as radon, pesticides, pollen, fungal spores and outdoor air pollution. Remediation measures include management of the pollution source, improved ventilation, local exhaust, exposure control and air cleaning.
