  • This course will help you advise your clients about some common substances that can contaminate the air in their homes and workplaces. Some of these contaminants are completely undetectable without using testing devices. Other substances can be seen or have an odor. Detectible or not, these contaminants can cause a range of health hazards, from a mild headache to chronic asthma, to lung cancer and death. 
     
    Becoming aware of these contaminants is the first step toward keeping your indoor air healthy. From there you can evaluate and determine the best ways to mitigate or reduce any hazards from the air inside your home or workplace. This course will help you understand the causes, methods of detection, and cures for common indoor air hazards.

  • You will learn about six major indoor air quality concerns: carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), asbestos, radon, mold, and lead. Learn how to assess possible air quality problems, and when a qualified professional should be contacted to test for them.
