Bacteria and Viruses
Airborne bacteria and viruses are frequently found in indoor air and may represent a significant health threat. These microorganisms can carry infectious diseases such as influenza, Legionnaires' disease, tuberculosis, measles, chicken pox, and rubella. | | Or will we choose a genuinely new way of living based on diversified, renewable energy sources? Such a society may, as Alvin Toffler predicts in The Third Wave (William Morrow & Co., 1980), turn out to be the first truly humane civilization in recorded history.
The Chemical Menace Ironically, in the United States today you are far more likely to breathe some of the most debilitating compounds—like methylene chloride, tetrachloro-ethylene, lead arsenate, or mercury—from pesticides, aerosol sprays, paints, and household cleaners at home. | | Get practical help with moisture, mildew, and condensation problems from the Conservation and renewable energy Inquiry and Referral Service, Box 8900, Silver Spring, MD 20907; 1-800-523-2929.

Clean Air Ventilating alone may not get your house air clean enough. Fortunately, there are mechanical air cleaners on the market that help clear indoor air of pollutants, especially allergens such as pollen, dust, smoke, and animal fur. |
Earth RightH. Patricia Hynes
See book keywords and concepts | | Between 1980 and 1988, the federal government cut the budget for renewable energy by 80 percent. In 1988, Transportation Secretary James Buckley rolled back the increase in federal fuel efficiency standards for 1989 automobiles and light trucks. Simultaneously, the Department of Energy proposed weak new refrigerator efficiency standards that would pass up an opportunity to conserve electricity and thus lower C02 emissions.
Even with these setbacks, energy conservation has already made more energy available than any other single source. |
Nontoxic, Natural and EarthwiseDebra Lynn Dadd
See book keywords and concepts | | Use renewable energy rather than fossil fuels (see Chapter 4).
• Reduce use of coolants. One of the gteatest teleases of ozone-destroying CFCs occurs when coolants escape from refrigeratots and ait conditionets when they leak, are repaired, or are junked. Have your car, home, or office air conditioner and refrigerator-freezer checked periodically for leaks, and make sure the coolant is recycled when the appliance is tepaited, recharged, or scrapped. Do not use Freon coolant for appliance or auto repairs.
• Try not to use your car air conditioner. |
