Solution

In developing countries, the main source of indoor pollution comes from open sources of heating and cooking. This is due to the fact that many households in these countries still rely on traditional methods of cooking and heating such as wood, coal, and other biomass fuels. These methods produce a large amount of smoke and other pollutants which can be harmful when inhaled, especially in enclosed spaces. This is not to say that pets, mold and fungi growth, and the presence of lead-based paint do not contribute to indoor pollution, but they are not the main sources in developing countries.
