Indoor Air Quality and Health
The first step towards a healthy indoor air environment is to understand that your home contains many things that can trigger or aggravate asthma, allergies and other illnesses. The next steps are to evaluate the indoor air environment in your home, and then create a plan to address the issues found.

2. Evaluate
The Indoor Air Alliance offers in-home screening, called the Healhy Home Survey, for the most common elements of indoor air pollution. These elements include:
• carbon monoxide (CO)
• carbon dioxide (CO2)
• volatile organic compounds (VOC’s)
• particulates (dust)
• temperature and humidity
• duct environment
• mold and allergens

The Healthy Home Screening service is inexpensive and quick. For more details see Guide For Consumers.
