Combustion products. Nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and wood smoke

Although the literature remains limited, the potential for combustion sources to contaminate residences and public access buildings is increasingly recognized. The authors emphasize indoor exposures and health effects associated with combustion pollutants other than tobacco smoke, including nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, acid aerosols, and respirable particles. The available literature suggests that these combustion pollutants are a relatively uncommon cause of building-related illness.
