Discussion Points
Discussion Points
- How do regular operational activities such as cleaning, pest management, or moisture control relate to indoor air quality and environmental health?
- With all these considerations, we are concerned about both avoiding/removing any contaminants that are introduced, as well as doing so without the use of toxic chemicals often found in pesticides and cleaning agents. How do we balance keeping some hazards out without subsequently introducing other hazards?
- Do established protocols exist for healthier cleaning, pest management, or mold/moisture control?
