Indoor air pollution can be caused by the emission of pollutants both domestically and on offices or factories.In homes the causes can be smoking, cooking, hobbies, insulation (formaldehyde, pets, transfer of fumes from an attached garage, new carpeting or paint. The problem is made worse by having little or no exchange with outdoor air to dilute the contaminants.

In factories the pollution can result from office machinery such as copiers or printers, flooring or carpet adhesives, paints or insulation. Offices adjacent to factories may receive hydrocarbon and other contaminants from the factory processes.

What buildings is most likely to have indoor air pollution?

Buildings most likely to have indoor air pollution include older homes with poor ventilation, high-density apartment complexes, and poorly maintained commercial buildings. Sources of pollutants such as mold, dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints and furnishings, and emissions from heating systems can accumulate in these environments. Additionally, buildings with inadequate air filtration systems or those located near sources of outdoor pollution are also at higher risk. Ensuring proper ventilation and regular maintenance can help mitigate these issues.
