Pets

Pets including birds, dogs and cats have feathers and dander; excrete proteins in their saliva, urine, and feces that can be allergenic; and release other biologic organisms with respiration. Cryptococcus is becoming an increasing problem in urban areas due to its transmission via pigeon droppings and the association of pigeons with high-rise building air-intake vents. Finally other insects may be important such as cockroaches and spiders.

All these also contribute to polluting the indoor air.
