Publisher's Note A committee of the World Health Organization estimates that as many as 1 out of 3 new or remodelled buildings may have ``sick building'' problems. Offers concrete solutions and step-by-step actions that readers can take to create a healthier environment in their homes. Coverage includes all major areas of house or apartment pollution such as asbestos, lead paint, radon, gas fumes, carbon monoxide, household chemicals, water problems, allergies, cigarette smoke and much more.
Carcinogens and toxic fumes don't just pollute the environment, they hit us where we live. While you can't always see, smell, or taste these insidious health hazards, you can successfully combat them. This book provides a comprehensive look at the invisible killers in almost every home--and an essential guide to disposing of them.
Industry Reviews Provides current information on lead, radon, asbestos, carbon monoxide, pesticides, and potentially toxic household products; alerts readers to the many symptoms of a "sick house"; and provides a directory of federal and local experts and agencies that can help. An excellent household reference and safety guide. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Reference & Research Book News
