INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Because so many people spend a great deal of time indoors, indoor air pollution can pose even greater health hazards than outdoor air pollution. While most of the sources of indoor air pollution do not in themselves present a great health risk, the cumulative effects of several sources may cause health problems, particularly in more susceptible individuals such as the very young, elderly, or health-impaired.

Indoor air pollutants include mold, radon, cleaning products, lead and carbon monoxide. For more information on a variety of indoor air quality topics, please visit EPA’s indoor air quality website at http://www.epa.gov/iaq/index.html. Leaving Summit County Government Website
