Air pollution plays a role in about 40,000 deaths in the UK each year, according to the Academy of Physicians and Pediatricians and Child Health.
They said supervision of emission from diesel engines is still poor while indoor pollution is negligible.
Smoking remains the biggest threat to indoor pollution, but the stove with wood fuel, deodorants, sprays hygiene products, as well as room fresheners also play a role in causing pollution.
Moisture and mold in the room that did not have good ventilation can also cause health problems.
This report was issued after a report in mid-February that mention more of the world population of 5.5 million people die prematurely every year due to air pollution, and most of the casualties were in countries with high economic growth, such as China and India.

"Being in the room could provide protection against pollution on the outside, but can also make exposed to other sources of air pollution," as stated the report.
Added now there is awareness of the risk of gas supplies in the house, radioactive, and cigarette smoke, but the room can also be exposed to NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) on a gas stove or leach from plastics and paints.
"(Spray) the scent of citrus and pine we use to make our homes a fresh can react chemically to produce air pollutants and ozone-based air fresheners can also cause pollution in the room."
One of the report's authors, Professor Jonathan Grigg, said there was clear evidence that air pollution -which sourced from factories or traffic-related to disorders of the heart and lungs, including asthma.
He advised people to walk, ride a bike, or use the bus instead of driving a car, while in the house in order to maintain good gas appliances and combustion of solid materials for the sake of energy efficiency.
