From the Author:
Considering that this book was written 15 years ago, the information holds up very well. Am looking for a person who is self employed for many years as a Housing Inspector to co-author an update of this book with me. Possible first author if articulate and willing to do PR for the book (and for his own business).
From the Back Cover:
A comprehensive guide to recognizing and combating the invisible killers lurking in your home...
Carcinogens and toxic fumes don't just pollute the environment -- they hit us where we live. Twenty million U.S. homes contain dangerous levels of lead and one out of five children may suffer neurological damage and learning disabilities as a result of lead poisoning. One out of six Americans drinks water contaminated with biological or chemical pollutants . . .
Now, Healthy Homes in a Toxic World arms you with the information and know-how you need to combat these insidious health hazards.
* Alerts you to the many physical symptoms caused by a sick house -- from persistent colds, allergies and stomach and digestive disorders to cancer and neurological disorders.
*Identifies common household products containing dangerous or inadequately treated chemicals.
*Provides concrete solutions and step-by-step actions you can take to make your home a healthier one.
