Building materials should be reviewed for potential harmful effects. 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.

One of the most dangerous air pollutants is cigarette smoke. Restricting smoking is an important key to a healthier environment.

This challenge must be met by all of us in order to assure that a healthy environment will exist for ourselves and our children.
