- The Unseen Threats: A Guide to Indoor Air QualityWhile we often hear about outdoor air pollution from traffic and industry, the air quality inside our homes, schools, and offices is an equally important, yet frequently overlooked, aspect of our environmental health. The spaces where we spend the majority of our time can harbor a unique set of pollutants with significant health implications. This document serves as a clear and simple introduction to common indoor air pollutants, their sources, and their potential health effects. Its goal is to provide homeowners and students with a foundational understanding of the risks that may be present in our daily environments.5
- Air Pollutants and Their Effects: A Study GuideThis guide provides a review of the core concepts, categories, and specific pollutants outlined in the source material on air pollution. It includes a short-answer quiz, an answer key, essay questions for deeper analysis, and a comprehensive glossary of terms.4
