The correct answer is:
Burning coal
Burning coal is the cause of major indoor chemical pollution as it releases carbon content in the atmosphere that combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, or may result in the formation of carbon monoxide which is a hazardous to human health. It also releases inhalable particle nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxides, metal and silicates. Mosquito coil and room spray also causes indoor chemical pollution but their effects are of long-term.
