According to WHO air pollution contributed to approximately seven million premature deaths in 2012 in the world. Around 600,000 of those were children under 5 years old.
The most common indoor air contaminants are combustion sources, such as candles, tobacco products, stoves, furnaces and fireplaces, that release pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and small particles into the air. Additionally, building materials, furnishings, fabrics, cleaning products, personal care products and air fresheners can all emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) into the indoor environment. Outdoor air pollution can also influence indoor exposure when pollutants diffuse indoors through building envelope openings, so there is a need to simultaneously address outdoor air quality.
