In itself the subject of indoor pollution is not a "left vs right" thing just like climate hysteria or SARS2 scaremongering are not innately so. That said it is remarkable that it is those who proclaim themselves to be on the "left" side who are far more susceptible to this type of scaremongering than those who claim to be on the "right" side. This is probably related to the "left" thinking in terms of the collective over the group over the individual where those on the "right" tend to think in terms of (traditional conservatives) "group - individual - collective" or (libertarians) "individual - group - collective". This makes those on the "left" side more susceptible to this type of group think based on appeals to authority - the "experts" agree that gas stoves need to go, "experts" agree that masks need to be worn, "experts" agree that young children need to be exposed to "norm-breaking" or "queer" sexuality, "experts" agree that CO₂ is the main cause of the recent warm spell and that human activities are the main cause of the rise in CO₂ concentration - since it is expected for individuals to sacrifice personal freedom for the good of the collective. Sometimes the "experts" are real experts but often they are activists for a cause. This is also inherent in the "left" vs "right" discussion since those on the "left" can gain fame by forwarding themselves as spokesperson for a "marginalised" group which is "oppressed" by "(fill-in-the-blanks)-normativity". Once one of these self-proclaimed "experts" gets into the limelight and gets the ball rolling the collective needs to follow to avoid accusations of "(fill-in-the-blanks)-phobia" or "*-ism". On the right the way to fame lies in portraying yourself as the defender of traditional values and/or being the one to fight the dragons coming from the left. This is a vicious circle since any new goofy idea from the left is fodder for a dragon-slayer on the right and thus the circle game continues.
