AB KEY  POINTSReducing-type  air  pollution,  characterized  by  SO2  and  smoke,  is  capable  of  producing  deleterious  human  health  effects.Photochemical  air  pollution  arises  from  a  series  of  complex  reactions  in  the  troposphere  close  to  the  earth’s  surface  and  comprises  a  mixture  of  ozone,  nitric  oxides,  aldehydes,  peroxyacetyl  nitrates,  and  myriad  reactive  hydrocarbon  radicals.Indoor  air  can  be  even  more  complex  than  outdoor  air,  and  outdoor  air  can  permeate  the  indoor  environment  in  spite  of  the  reduced  air  exchange  in  buildings.Sick-Building  Syndrome  may  occur  in  new,  poorly  ventilated,  or  recently  refurbished  office  buildings  due  to  the  outgasing  of  combustion  products,  volatile  chemicals,  biological  materials  and  vapors,  and  emissions  from  furnishings.
