The main goal of NACo's Indoor Air project is to heighten county officials'
awareness of indoor air pollutants as public health threats and to provide
materials and technical assistance for risk reduction activities. Such air
pollutants include radon, asthma triggers, environmental tobacco smoke and
children, and carbon monoxide.
National Environmental Health Association
The National Environmental Health Association has a well-earned reputation of credentialing environmental health professionals since 1937.
