Abstract
Indoor pollution is a major public-health issue, say representatives from government and the medical profession who participated in a recent workshop in Ottawa. Researchers are certain that indoor pollution causes many of the allergy-related problems and asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, coughing and others respiratory problems experienced by North Americans. They urge physicians to learn about indoor air quality and to educate patients to improve their environment, particularly with respect to second-hand smoke, dust mites and mould.
