A colorful one-page checklist of the most common sources and types of indoor air pollution and the simple, no or low-cost strategies for reducing exposure.

A colorful one-page checklist of the most common sources and types of indoor air pollution and the simple, no or low-cost strategies for reducing exposure.

We developed this resource because many of the other in-home trigger and air quality check lists may be too long, cumbersome, and seem too involved to be effective.  We included colorful pictures to make the checklist more appealing when distributing at tabling events, health fairs, etc.

The New England Asthma Regional Council (ARC), a program of Health Resources in Action, is happy to share our latest publication, "The Role of Pest Control in Effective Asthma Management: A Business Case." Produced by ARC and the Boston Public Health Commission, this document presents a business case geared towards the healthcare industry for providing pest management services and education to certain high-risk asthma patients. There is growing recognition regarding the impact of pest allergens (particularly from mice and cockroaches), grounded in research that suggests that they both cause and trigger asthma. And yet, there is still a need to justify to the health care industry regarding the rationale of providing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) services from a cost effective and health perspective. "The Role of Pest Control in Effective Asthma Management" is of national importance for the health care industry, advocates and policy makers. ARC urges you to use this tool and to disseminate it widely. http://asthmaregionalcouncil.org/uploads/IPM/IPM_FINAL_2009.pdf
