EPA's Indoor Air
Quality - http://www.epa.gov/iaq/
Information for homeowner,
schools, commercial buildings and environmental
professional on indoor air quality. Extensive links
to sites.
The Information provided here comes primarily
from EPA's "The
Inside Story: A Guide to Indoor Air Quality".
The information provided here is based on current
scientific and technical understanding of the issues
presented and is reflective of the jurisdictional
boundaries established by the statutes governing the
co-authoring agencies. Following the advice given
will not necessarily provide complete protection in
all situations or against all health hazards that
may be caused by indoor air pollution.
What
Causes Indoor Air Problems?
Indoor pollution sources that release
gases or particles into the air are the primary
cause of indoor air quality problems in homes.
Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor
pollutant levels by not bringing in enough
outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor
sources and by not carrying indoor air
pollutants out of the home. High temperature and
humidity levels can also increase concentrations
of some pollutants.
Pollutant Sources
There are many sources of indoor air
pollution in any home. These include combustion
sources such as
oil,
gas, kerosene, coal, wood, and
tobacco products; building materials and
furnishings as diverse as deteriorated,
asbestos-containing insulation, wet or damp
carpet, and cabinetry or furniture made of
certain
pressed wood products; products for
household cleaning and maintenance, personal
care, or hobbies; central heating and
cooling systems and humidification devices; and
outdoor sources such as
radon,
pesticides, and outdoor air pollution.

Why does Indoor Air Quality matter? The
air quality of our indoor environments effects our
health and often contributes to structural
degradation and building failures within our
homes....
http://www.healthhouse.org/IAQ/index.asp
Consider the facts about Home air quality:
- According to the American Lung
Association of Minnesota, elements within our
home and workplaces have been increasingly
recognized as threats to our respiratory health.
The most common pollutants are radon, combustion
products, biologicals (molds, pet dander,
pollen), volatile organic compounds, lead dust
and asbestos.
- The Environmental Protection Agency
lists poor indoor air quality as the fourth
largest environmental threat to our country.
- There are an estimated 42.6 million
Americans living with hay fever and/or asthma.
Learning how to control a home’s environment to
reduce allergen levels is important for managing
allergies and asthma. Individuals who suffer
from asthma, or have other respiratory illness
may potentially be at a greater risk for health
complications associated with poor air quality
in their homes.
