Methods: The method used to collect articles is literature review. Articles taken from databases such as Pubmed, SAGE Journal, Science Direct, and Scopus.

Discussion: Air contaminants found in developed countries include dampness, mold, cigarette smoke, and formaldehyde. In developing countries, air contaminants found are the result of combustion from cooking.

Conclusions: This study shows that the contaminants and sources of indoor air contaminants in developed and developing countries are different due to differences in home conditions.
