In keeping with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) 1997 recommendations, it is desirable to identify and remove common allergens and modify the home or office to reduce the level of ubiquitous (common) allergens.

Bad smells alone are not the only indicator of poor air quality. Interior rooms collect not only exhaled carbon dioxide and moisture from people and objects, but also numerous toxic chemicals and biological pathogens. These can enter the body via nose, mouth, skin, mucous membranes and eyes resulting in headaches, allergies, infections or other illnesses.

The largely terrible indoor air quality is attributed to the offgassing of chemicals from various building materials-paint, carpet, countertops, dry wall, you name it and chances are it's got some sort of toxic ingredient. The thing is, in many cases those chemicals are mandated by either building codes or performance codes. Curtains need to be covered in flame retardant to prevent fire spread, for example, and certain other materials have chemicals added to them in order to make them more...

| Homeowners Blame Builder for Construction Flaws, Mold Exposure to damp and moldy environments... | |
by Josh Cascio, FOX 13 News
LAKEWOOD RANCH (FOX 13) - For a long time, a group of homeowners say their homes have had huge problems, but they just couldn't get any answers.
That changed Wednesday night when they heard from Florida Sen. Mike Bennett, who took part in a question-and-answer session, and he heard quite an earful.
The residents of the Willowbrook Community are upset, so they started sending letters to many officials.
"It's starting to look like an engineering problem."
"They were subject to inspection when they were built and this is what we have."
"When I first moved in, I had a lot of issues."
Those were just a few of the comments to Bennett.
