Review

When it comes to environmental hazards, what you don't know can and will hurt you! The Healthy Home Kit provides expert knowledge to identify and solve such problems as radon, lead, asbestos and water contaminants. Each of the 12 chapters on specific threats opens with a quick reference summary chart and includes a comprehensive checklist to help you recognize problems. Amply illustrated with charts, drawings and photographs, this is the most complete book on the subject of home environmental safety. Included is advice on how to choose a radon detection kit, precautions if there is lead in or around the home, when to leave asbestos insulation untouched, tips for solving mold and moisture problems, recognizing furnace problems, eleven hints to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields, and how to select qualified contractors to clean up when you can do it yourself. -- Midwest Book Review
