Abstract
AbstractIssues of safety and the environment in homes present occupants with a considerable array of risks. Choices and decisions made on a daily basis determine the health and well-being of occupants. To a large degree, such choices and decisions are made on instinct, conditioned in part by those hazards which are “made popular” by the current media.This study covers certain major home hazards involving indoor environmental quality and safety data. It is designed to assist educators in helping householders prioritize the risks, and allows researchers to identify trends that may be amenable to improvements in practice or designs so that hazards can be reduced.Topics covered in the study include household safety and indoor air quality, including volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, radon, contaminants of biological origin, lead poisoning, and drinking water contamination.
