Is your home’s indoor air unhealthy?

We usually think of air pollution as outdoors coming from a power plant or vehicle emissions,
but the air inside our home can be 2-5 times more unhealthy leading to allergies and asthma.
Here you will find resources to improve your indoor air quality (IAQ) and explore:

  • -   How does the air in my home become unhealthy? How will unhealthy air affect me?
  • -   How can I test to find out what indoor air quality problems may be in my home?
  • -   What are indoor allergy triggers? How can I make my indoor air healthier?
Join in and share your experiences. We all want to breathe easier and become healthier.
