The following factors can contribute to poor indoor air quality:
Sick Building Syndrome: Used to describe a situation in which the occupants of a building experience acute health- or comfort-related effects that seem to be linked directly to the time spent in the building.
Combustion Products: Combustion (burning) by-products are gases and small particles. They are created by incompletely burned fuels such as oil, gas, kerosene, wood, coal, and propane. The type and amount of combustion by-product produced depend on the type of fuel and the combustion appliance.
Biological Pollutants: Biological pollutants can travel through the air and are often invisible. Some common indoor biological pollutants are Animal Dander (minute scales from hair, feathers, or skin) Dust Mite, and Cockroach parts. Infectious agents (bacteria or viruses)
Violate Organics: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals used in most products that can easily evaporate into the air we breathe and affect indoor air quality.
Heavy Metals: The heavy metals cadmium, lead, and mercury are common air pollutants, being emitted mainly as a result of various industrial activities. Although the atmospheric levels are low, they contribute to the deposition and build-up in soils.
Environmental Tobacco Smoke: Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), or secondhand smoke, is a mix of chemicals that results from burning tobacco (cigarettes, cigars, pipes) and from exhaled smoke.
