摘要: Indoor pollution has been ranked by the United States Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board (USEPA 1987, 1990) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC 1991) as a high environmental risk. Together, lead, contaminated soil, house dust, allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous household chemicals, indoor air pollution, tobacco smoke, other pollutants pose significant risk to children, adults, pets. Home pollutant exposure may result in retarded growth, learning disabilities, allergies, cancer, nervous system damage, illnesses. We continue allow, many homes, exposures these substances that would not be tolerated on job or outdoor environment because most people, including political leaders, are aware of problem.
