Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the home. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants. The EPA has done testing of indoor air quality and has found that indoor air is sometimes 2-10 times worse than the air immediately outdoors and in some instances the indoor air quality has been measured as being 100 times worse than the outdoor air.
