Abstract
As many people and athletes exercise indoor, in their homes or other sports arenas because of outdoor air pollution or other reasons, it is important for health professionals to know briefly about indoor air pollutants and its possible health effects on athletes who exercise in these environments. In this review the most common indoor air pollutants and their possible health effects on athletes are discussed.
