INDOOR AIR HAZARDS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

As summer approaches, outdoor air quality starts to get more attention in the news. But indoor air quality affects you and your family every day. Mold, animal dander, and lead dust are familiar irritants, but air fresheners, dry cleaned clothing, and unvented gas stoves can also release compounds that can affect your health. Learn more with Indoor Air Hazards Every Homeowner Should Know About, a brochure from “Healthy Indoor Air for America’s Homes,” a program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency. You’ll get a room-by-room checklist of products to watch out for, breakdowns of common health problems associated with different pollutants, and lots of tips to minimize your exposure. Order this free, informative brochure by sending your name and address to the Federal Citizen Information Center, Dept. 632R, Pueblo, CO 81009.
