Abstrakt: Air pollution is a global issue with far reaching consequences for human health, ecosystems, and the planet's climate. This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of various indoor air pollutants, their sources, impacts, and the strategies employed to mitigate their adverse effects. By exploring the origins and characteristics of different indoor air pollutants, including primary and secondary pollutants, this paper focus on the diverse emissions resulting from anthropogenic activities, vehicular emissions, industrial processes, and natural sources. The subsequent examination of the health effects on humans, ranging from respiratory diseases to cardiovascular complications and even neurological disorders, underscores the urgent need for effective mitigation strategies. To address these challenges, this paper critically evaluates an array of mitigation approaches. It discusses the role of regulatory policies, technological innovations, building planning initiatives, and public awareness campaigns in reducing air pollutant emissions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
