Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality

The quality of the air you breathe can affect your health. Some concerns include carbon monoxide, mold, and radon. 

The Environmental Health Division has the authority to address indoor air quality issues only for permitted facilities, like restaurants and hotels. However, we can provide information to help residents identify indoor air quality problems and guide them toward solutions.
