I worry about indoor air quality in (recent) highly insulated homes, completely sealed from outside air. So many household products are assumed to be safe in the miniscule amount of fumes they emit, so long as they are ventilated in an old-style house. In a new-style house, the fumes might accumulate over decades.
In an old-style house, convection and leaks will (I think) periodically renew all the air inside a house. (What time scale? Probably expressed in half-life.)

I do think that indoor air quality for sealed homes is very injurious especially to people with respiratory illnesses. A congested or non-circulating air is home to a lot of viruses and airborne microorganisms that may harm one’s health. It is really essential for us to have proper ventilation and air cleaners or filters in our homes.
