Blog #10

How does indoor air quality contribute to health outcomes? Air quality is controlled in part by the air tightness in your home. I live in newer home and it is very energy efficient. It however traps moisture which can lead to mold
  • What is the air quality like in your home or your local health clinics? I live in the central valley and I believe the air inside is a reflection of the air outside, therefore it is not very good.  Hospitals?Air in hospitals has to be bad with all the antibacterial agents that are constantly used.
2. Are there concerns about formaldehyde or carpets in your area? No, I do not have a carpet.
3. If applicable, do you educate your patients and communities about indoor cooking risks and ensuring air flow? Yes, some of my patients are farm-workers and are used to cooking indoors using wood or animal dung.

    Glad you do not have carpet anymore! I am sure after living through a flood you are more aware than ever of effects of water damage and indoor pollutants. Hope your restored home is healthier than ever!
