In America today, outdoor air pollution is given a great deal of attention from the media. Although outdoor air pollution is a serious problem, government agencies are equally concerned about indoor air pollution. People who report sensitivities to their indoor environments complain of a wide range of symptoms, including headache, fatigue, nausea, sinus congestion, and eye, nose and throat irritation.
Experts warn that fumes of various cleaning products can cause learning disabilities.
