Almost all homes have some kind of indoor air quality concern. |
The initiative hopes to raise awareness of common indoor health hazards such as:
- Lead
- Radon
- Indoor air pollutants such as tobacco smoke
The program builds on another initiative that is already addressing lead poisoning prevention for people moist likely to be exposed.
It was expanded because many homes that have one type of health hazard also suffer from other indoor air pollution issues, officials say.
The grants are set up to help target high-risk population groups, including young children, low-income and minorities, the elderly and areas with high levels of radon or lead hazards.
The local agencies that received a grant will set up healthy home networks in their communities consisting of professional staff, community members and other members.
The goal is to raise awareness of indoor air quality issues and to help people get healthy homes for a healthy population.
