About this Webinar
Thanks to COVID-19, most of us now understand there are things indoors we can’t see or smell, but yet our exposure to them can make us sick. During this session, I will highlight practical, easy to implement strategies to both prevent and address exposures to common indoor air quality pollutants. Topics being addressed include ventilation, mold/moisture, radon, pests, particle pollution, as well as IAQ monitoring, and whether or not a home is weatherization ready.
What you'll learn
- How to determine if a home has adequate ventilation
- 5 things you need to know about mold
- Where to look for IAQ problems
- My favorite best-practice resources to prevent and address IAQ in homes.
