Sources of indoor air pollution include:
- Smoke from fireplaces, gas stoves, and even candles and incense
- Carbon monoxide, methane, fluorocarbons, and nitrogen dioxide

The optimal indoor air humidity for good health is between 30 and 55 percent. At this humidity level, the air is easy to breathe and the growth of mould and bacteria is minimized.
