October is National Indoor Air Quality Awareness Month. What makes indoor air quality unhealthy?

Indoor air can be 2-5 times, even up to 100 times, more polluted than outdoor air. Indoor air pollution can come from:

-Gas appliances
-Cleaning supplies and other chemicals
-Fireplaces and wood stoves
-Fragranced products like air fresheners and scented candles
