Indoor Air Pollution | Vibepedia

Indoor air pollution refers to the contamination of indoor air, which has a negative impact on one's health. It is a subset of air pollution and can be caused by a variety of factors, including secondhand tobacco smoke, air pollutants from indoor combustion, radon, molds and other allergens, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, legionella and other bacteria, asbestos fibers, carbon dioxide, ozone, and particulates. The effects of indoor air pollution can be mitigated through source control, filtration, and the use of ventilation to dilute contaminants. For example, the American Lung Association recommends that homeowners and building managers take steps to reduce indoor air pollution, such as eliminating tobacco smoke and reducing moisture to prevent mold growth.
