Ontario Lung Association Releases New IAQ Report

The Ontario Lung Association has completed a detailed review of best available research studies into the respiratory health effects of air pollutants common to residential settings. The results will help to guide The Lung Association in further developing their C.A.N. DO program (Movement for Clean Air Now). In the summer of 2001, The Lung Association also commissioned a public opinion survey, assessing attitudes and beliefs of Ontarians on issues related to indoor and outdoor air quality.

Both documents are now available at www.on.lung.ca. The report, entitled "Indoor Air Pollutants in Residential Settings", is referenced in the HealthySchools.com database, along with a partial summary of its conclusions under the topic "Making Practical Changes with Present Evidence".
