It shows how our homes can contribute to many of the health problems related to air quality. This book is easy-to-read, and alerts people to focus attetion on health issues on a daily basis.

In addition, it will also attract anyone who is interested in the health of his or her family and who plans to green their homes. Standout Features: Here, the topic “green home” really narrows down to the home’s air quality which is tightly related to the health of whole families. From the book, you would know everything you ever wanted to know about the air in your house and how it might affect your and your children’s health. Keep in Mind: The book mainly focuses on helping readers find and understand what kind of things might harm your and your families’ health in your home and points out the importance of greening your home. The book does not provide specific instructions on how to green your home more generally. Suggested by: Rebecca Chen |
