Indoor Air Quality
A variety of environmental factors can affect the quality of the air you breathe in your home or work place. Indoor air contamination may be the result of poor air exchange, pet dander, mold/mildew, tobacco smoke, or other respiratory irritants. Poor quality air can impact your health by making conditions such as Asthma worse.
Ledge Light Health District is a founding member of the Southeastern Connecticut Indoor Air Quality Coalition. The primary focus of the Coalition is to identify and address indoor air quality problems in homes, schools, work and gathering places.
