Do
you have air pollutants in your home?
In recent years studies have shown that the air people
breathe inside their homes can be more polluted
than the air
outside of the home. Do you notice odors lingering in the air of
your home? Do you notice condensation on the inside of the windows
in your home during the winter? If you do, you may have an indoor
air problem.
The
University of Illinois Extension of Logan County will be sponsoring
a free workshop on "Indoor Air Quality." The workshop will
be from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, May 15, at the Extension office, 980 N. Postville
Drive in Lincoln.
John
Fulton, unit leader in Logan County, and Jay Solomon, Extension
educator, will help workshop participants learn about the six major
indoor air pollutants, how to know if these pollutants are in your
air, how to keep them from entering your home, and how to remove the
pollutants.
Registration
is required and may be done by simply calling the Extension office
at 732-8289.
