  • Title: Indoor air pollutants: limited-resource households and child care facilities.
    Author: Laquatra J, Maxwell LE, Pierce M.
    Journal: J Environ Health; 2005 Mar; 67(7):39-43, 61. PubMed ID: 15794462.
    Abstract:
    This paper reports on a study of indoor air quality in homes and child care facilities in non-metropolitan counties of New York State. Specific pollutants examined were lead, radon, carbon monoxide, asbestos, and mold. Some homes had high levels of pollutants, and certain pollutants were significantly and negatively correlated with household income. High levels of pollutants also were observed in many child care facilities, which raises questions about constant exposure of children to pollutants. Recommendations are made for lowering pollutant levels in low-income households and child care facilities.
