Risk Assessment Prioritization Process for Indoor Air Contaminants

Canadians spend approximately 90% of their time indoors and are exposed to a large number of indoor air contaminants. In many cases, these indoor air contaminants are known to cause or exacerbate health effects, such as asthma, allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other respiratory diseases. Some indoor air contaminants are found, or are expected to be found, in Canadian homes at a level that could pose an elevated health risk to Canadians.
