Dear Annie,
I am new to being concerned about indoor air pollution but I am pregnant and want to make sure I have a healthy home. How can I begin? –Alice, CA

Dear Alice,
Great! You are doing just the right thing for yourself and your baby. Why not take this new quiz: Think your home’s air is OK? What you learn from your mistakes will be a good starting point for you. Although this sounds self-serving I don’t mean it to be because I am trying to help, I’d also suggest you obtain (from the library?) a copy of my book Home Enlightenment (Rodale paperback, 2008). Or, try the Green Guide (National Geographic, 2008).

do not use ionized air purifiers, they increase the ppb of ozone, which can seriously harm lungs over time.
