Indoor Air Pollutants

Indoor air pollutants are substances present in the air inside buildings that can harm health. These include tobacco smoke, pet dander, dust mites, mold, cleaning chemicals, and volatile organic compounds from paints and furniture. Poor ventilation can increase their concentration, leading to respiratory issues, allergies, or other health problems. Identifying and reducing sources of indoor pollutants, such as cleaning regularly, using air purifiers, and ensuring good airflow, can improve indoor air quality and protect occupants’ health.
