Apparently some carpets release something called VOC's which are not so good for you. From my understanding this is really more from machine made and wall to wall carpets, not oriental hand knotted rugs
Most carpets are made of synthetic fibers like nylon and polyester. More expensive carpets can also be made of jute and wool.
