Do modern houses have higher levels of indoor pollution because they are more fire resistant?
No, it has to do with the fact that modern buildings are better insulated (for heating/cooling) and better sealed to prevent air leaks (which cause loss of hot/cold air to the outside). This reduces the number of air exchanges that happen per hour with the outside to bring in fresh air. With less fresh air the pollutants concentrate in the internal air.
Some HVAC systems partially correct this issue by using forced air heat exchanger systems that draw in outside air through a heat exchanger while exhausting inside air through the same heat exchanger so that the fresh outside air is warmed/cooled to the temperature of the inside air before being released inside and the dirty inside air is cooled/warmed to the temperature of the outside air before being exhausted outside. This helps but can add significant cost to the HVAC system and does not work in a power failure.

Are modern houses more fire resistant but have more higher levels of indoor pollution because of it?
Modern houses tend to be more fire resistant due to the use of building materials with better fire-retardant properties. However, these materials can sometimes contribute to higher levels of indoor pollution as they may release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other harmful substances over time. Proper ventilation and choosing low-emission materials can help mitigate indoor pollution in modern homes.
What disadvantages is there to live in a city?
Traffic, noise pollution, light pollution, air pollution, higher prices for houses/rent usually, smaller living areas usually, fewer wildlife/scenery
Do cars and houses produce the same amount of pollution?
No, cars generally produce more pollution than houses. Cars emit carbon dioxide and various pollutants from their exhaust, while houses mainly contribute to pollution through energy consumption, which can come from sources like natural gas or coal. However, the overall pollution levels from houses can vary depending on factors like energy efficiency and renewable energy usage.
What kind of animals can jump higher than a house?
Any animal that jumps can jump higher than a house, because houses can't jump!
