Indoor Pollutants: Air Pollutants
from: � SLAC

Any substance in the air which could, if in high enough concentration, harm humans, other animals, vegetation, or material is an air pollutant. Pollutants may include almost any natural or artificial composition of matter capable of being airborne, and the pollutants may be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, gases, or in combinations of these forms. Generally, they fall into two main groups:

1) those emitted directly from identifiable sources and
2) those produced in the air by interaction between two or more primary pollutants, or by reaction with normal atmospheric constituents, with or without photo activation.

Exclusive of pollen, fog, and dust, which are of natural origin, about 100 contaminants have been identified and fall into the following categories: solids, sulfur compounds, volatile organic chemicals, nitrogen compounds, oxygen compounds, halogen compounds, radioactive compounds, and odors.
