By Diana Kohnle

The Environmental Protection Agency says these factors can contribute to indoor air pollution:
- Poor ventilation
- High humidity and high temperatures
- Combustion sources, such as tobacco, kerosene, oil, wood, gas and coal
- Insulation that contains asbestos
- Some types of furniture made from compressed wood
- Damp or wet carpeting
- Fumes from household cleaning products
- Outdoor sources, such as pesticides, radon or air pollution.
