    Volatile organic compounds found in household products and building materials can cause headaches, respiratory irritation, and cancer when inhaled from air pollution. Combustion of fuels along with particulate matter from traffic and industry are linked to decreased lung function, heart attacks, and early death. Emissions from energy production, transport, and factories including sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide can lead to respiratory inflammation and irritation when inhaled.
