Air Quality
This page was reviewed or revised on Thursday, November 09, 2006.
The quality of the air we
breathe is one of the most fundamental elements influencing public health.
The health effects of poor air quality are well known. Over the years,
many connections have been made between poor air quality and health
problems ranging from mild irritation, to asthma to premature death. What
is perhaps not as well known is the fact that we can do something about
air quality - right here in our own community.
This section outlines
issues surrounding both indoor and outdoor
air quality and relates
these to public health. It also provides links to several external
agencies that can provide more detailed information about air quality
problems and solutions.
