All of us face a
variety of risks to our health as we go about our day-to-day lives.
Driving in cars, flying in planes, engaging in recreational activities,
and being exposed to environmental pollutants all pose varying degrees
of risk. Some risks are simply unavoidable. Some we choose to accept
because to do otherwise
would restrict our ability to lead our lives
the way we want. And some are risks
we might decide to avoid if we had
the opportunity to make informed choices. Indoor air pollution is one
risk that you can do something about.

nation's 110,000 schools reported unsatisfactory
indoor air quality,
and 1 in 4 schools reported ventilation -- which impacts indoor air
quality -- as unsatisfactory. Students are at greater risk because
of
the hours spent in school facilities and because children are
especially susceptible to pollutants. Learn More...
