Indoor Air Quality and Asthma

The quality of that indoor air can have an impact on the health of most people, with a particular emphasis on children, the elderly, and the chronically ill. Poor Indoor Air Quality in the home, resulting in mold, allergens, and other irritants, can potentially represent a life-threatening health crisis for vulnerable residents.

The Sonoma County Asthma Coalition is working with Fair Housing of Sonoma County (FHOSC) to adopt a resolution in Sonoma County that prioritizes mold abatement in building code enforcement of rental and multiple tenant properties. Furthermore, FHOSC has available information about what to do if you have mold in your home.

Coming Soon: A brochure on indoor air quality, mold, and asthma is rental housing: landlord and tenant rights and responsibilities.

 

For more information about this campaign and to find out what you can do about mold problems in your home, check out Fair Housing of Sonoma County’s website at http://www.fhosc.org.
