Pulmonologist Questions Breathing issues

Am I breathing in any harmful gas?

I steam my face over a boiling pot of water sometimes for my sinuses. Mainly during allergy season. My mom, though, thinks this is bad and that I'm breathing in harmful gases. Is this true?

As long as the steam is derived from clean water, with no possibility of toxic fumes, particulates, or carbon monoxide, then steam may be effective in reducing sinus SX. =
