Health@Home: Freedom from Contaminants and Pests

The Health@Home webinar series consists of four webinars that provide affordable housing rehabilitation specialists and program managers with information on integrating healthy housing techniques into their rehabilitation projects and best practices from practitioners who have successfully implemented these techniques.

This session reviewed measures needed to address one or more of the contaminants that you may encounter during your rehabilitation project, including radon, lead, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in paints and adhesives, asbestos, garage air pollutants, and carbon monoxide. The session also reviewed pre-emptive pest control measures that can be undertaken during the rehabilitation process.

This was the second webinar in the series. It covered Healthy Housing Principles 2 and 3.
