The first step to keeping your home and family safe from indoor air pollution is learning more about the pollutants/contaminants. Here are the 7 common indoor air pollutants:
Molds are types of fungi that grow indoors and outdoors. Some types of mold are harmless, while others are dangerous.
Radon is an odorless, colorless gas that is found everywhere at low levels. It is made naturally as the uranium in the earth breaks down.

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is a common oxide of nitrogen. It is a toxic and
corrosive gas.
Please note that nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is different
from nitrous oxide (N2O), an oxide of nitrogen that is medically useful
when administered by trained professionals, such as dentists.
