I'm an avid reader, and I also work at KQED Public Radio. We just did a story on Indoor Air Pollution I thought you readers would like to hear. I was shocked to find out indoor air pollution is often worse than what's outdoors, and since we spend most of our time inside, that's where the health effects are seen. We did a walk through in a San Francisco home.

Boomer, I agree 100% with you. The mentality of some people that try to change everybody else that existed prior to them, is shocking sometimes. It reminds me the case of people that buy houses near an airport, and as soon as they move in, start grouping about shutting down the airport... So moral of the story: When in Rome, do as the Romans do... :-)
And regarding Lauren's article/survey, there will always be mild pollutants at home. But that is why people got into housecleaning. I understand that there are some cleaning solutions that are toxic, but there is always clean fresh air from the outside. Here in the states, people sometimes are fearful of opening the windows (I have a tenant that has not opened her windows or blinds in 8 months, I have friends who live in AC units, that don't even know how cold or hot is outside) how can someone live without FRESH air? And the quality of air is so much better here than in some European big cities. I say; lower the use of ac-s in the US. Breath FRESH clean air.
