- Medline Plus - This site is dedicated to providing us with information on air pollution. We usually think of air pollution as being outdoors, but the air in your house or office could also be polluted. Sick building syndrome occurs when several people are affected, but no specific source of the illness is found. Indoor air quality problems usually only cause discomfort, and most people feel better as soon as they eliminate the source of the pollution. However, some pollutants can cause diseases that show up much later, such as respiratory diseases or cancer.
