Information on building materials can be found in LBNL's Center for Building Science newsletter . Additional information is available from EcoTech .
Adequate ventilation is also a key to controlling exposure to indoor air pollution.
Home and work environments should be monitored for adequate air flow and proper exhaust systems installed. Additional information is available in a book titled Understanding Ventilation . One of the most dangerous air pollutants is cigarette smoke. Restricting smoking is an important key to a healthier environment.
