Resumen:
Indoor air quality has received much attention because of the very important role indoor environment plays on human health. Nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as typical inorganic and organic indoor air pollutants, can be emitted from cooking, combustion, exhaust gases, tobacco smoke, furniture, building materials, and even traffic pollutants from outside of the building and can cause serious helth problems like drowsiness, headache, sore thoat, and mental fatigue.
