Aside from environmental tobacco smoke, the major
combustion pollutants that may be present at harmful levels in the home or
workplace stem chiefly from malfunctioning heating devices, or
inappropriate, inefficient use of such devices. Incidents are largely
seasonal. Another source may be motor vehicle emissions due, for example,
to proximity to a garage (or a loading dock located near air intake
vents).
A variety of particulates, acting as additional irritants
or, in some cases, carcinogens, may also be released in the course of
combustion. Although faulty venting in office buildings and other
nonresidential structures has resulted in combustion product problems,
most cases involve the home or non-work-related consumer activity. Among
possible sources of contaminants: gas ranges that are malfunctioning or
used as heat sources; improperly fluid or vented fireplaces, furnaces,
wood or coal stoves, gas water heaters and gas clothes dryers; and
unvented or otherwise improperly used kerosene or gas space heaters.
The gaseous pollutants from combustion sources include
some identified as prominent atmospheric pollutants -- carbon monoxide
(CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur
