Abstract
The causes of poor air quality generally can be placed in one of two major categories: contaminant sources found in the building or malfunctions of the building's ventilation system. Knowledge of contaminant sources having a significant impact on indoor air quality is incomplete. This paper discusses contaminants associated with building materials, building furnishings, and actions of building occupants. Where known, the health effects of the contaminants are summarized. Contaminants having both indoor and outdoor sources and contaminants with only outdoor sources are mentioned; however, the focus of the paper is on contaminants with indoor sources.
