Sandra V. McNeel, DVM Richard A. Kreutzer, MD California Department of Health Services Environmental Health Investigations Branch Introduction Molds in Indoor Air Fungi are ubiquitous organisms that make up approximately 25% of earth's biomass. They can be subdivided somewhat artificially by gross morphology into yeasts, mushrooms and molds - the fungi of most importance for indoor air. Molds are very adaptable and can colonize dead and decaying organic matter (e.g. textiles, leather, wood, paper) and even damp, inorganic material (e.g. glass, painted surfaces, bare concrete) if organic nutrients such as dust or soil particles are available. Because various genera grow and reproduce at different substrate water concentrations and temperatures, molds occur in a wide range of habitats. Constituents of indoor air are determined by both outdoor and indoor sources (Table 1). Likewise mold types and concentrations indoors are primarily a function of outdoor fungi and substrate water (related to indoor humidity level). Higher concentrations of outdoor molds and other fungi occur where trees, shrubs and landscape irrigation occur close to exterior building walls. (While most indoor molds originate from exterior sources, some species of Aspergillus and Penicillium can grow and reproduce effectively indoors and are commonly found in air samples of normal, "dry" buildings.)

92. SV Transportation Guide: Air Quality, Environmental, Health air quality, environmental, Health Cost. The choice of transportationthat you choose has a greater effect on the environment http://www.baaction.org/SVtransit/air_quality.html

"The choice of transportation that you choose has a greater effect on the environment than any other choice you make as a consumer." -Union of Concerned Scientists. Although the air in the Bay Area is slowly getting cleaner, as cars get cleaner, today over 95 percent of Californians live in areas where the air quality does not meet federal health-based standards. This is because even though cars are getting cleaner, we are now diving more miles than ever before. The average car* emits one pound of toxic waste a day and 24 lbs. of C02. Although C02 is not classified as a pollutant, it is a major contributor to global warming. If one could collect the C02 emissions, this would be the equivalent to three extra garbage cans a week that we would have to haul out to the curb, assuming that we could take care of our "trash" that way. Due to less stringent pollution control requirements and poor gas mileage, SUVs pollute 3 to 5 times as much as passenger cars and emit twice as much C02. So consider using the "other car" for commuting and drive your SUV only when needed. This will also reduce the cost of your commute. Taking public transit or some alternative to driving alone just one day a week could cut our dirty air by 20% during the workweek. Trip linking, where you do several errands at one time, while the car is warmed up, can also help to reduce pollution. This is because the cars pollution control equipment does not have to warm up for each trip. Keeping your car tuned up and the tires properly inflated will also help you use less gas and run more efficiently.

218 S.W. 1st Avenue Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 Mission: "To safeguard human health and the natural environment, and enhance the quality of life in Broward County by maintaining, protecting, and improving overall air quality." Broward County is located within the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) designated Southeast Florida Airshed which consists of Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Broward Counties. The main air pollutant of concern within the airshed is ozone. The air quality in Broward County is classified in the good range of the Air Quality Index over 90% of the year. The major source of air pollution in the airshed is motor vehicle emissions and as part of our mission we educate Broward county residents about the importance of good air quality and the things they can do to help keep the air clean. The Air Quality Division enforces federal, state, and local air pollution regulations through licensing and compliance activities and by promoting pollution prevention. We are responsible for the operation and maintenance of a comprehensive network of air quality monitoring stations throughout Broward County to make sure federal air pollution standards are met. Our staff also participates in local land use planning activities and informs the public about the importance of alternative means of transportation to help protect air quality. Air is an important natural resource that we sometimes take for granted. One of our major goals is educating Broward County residents about the things they can do to take action and improve air quality.

As we relax in our homes, drive our car, walk through the streets and exercise in the park, we are constantly breathing in contaminants. Some are important to life, but others can harm our health and the environment. It is impossible to monitor all the contaminants in the air so we must select key or priority contaminants that provide a representative picture of air quality. These priority contaminants are commonly referred to as indicators. When air quality indicators are measured and reported on they provide the following key information: the state of New Zealand's air quality and potential health impacts changes in air quality over time whether we are progressing towards national and regional goals regional and international comparisons.

sfgov residents business government ... go ! Air Quality How does the air taste, feel, smell and look in your neighborhood? Chances are that wherever you live, the air is contaminated. Smoke, haze, dust, odors and toxic compounds are present almost everywhere, especially in metropolitan cities like San Francisco. The quality of San Francisco's air depends on many factors. Many people commute to work by car, garden with leaf blowers and use an array of electrical appliances. Practically every appliance runs directly or indirectly from fossil-fuel burning generators, which are one of the greatest sources of air pollutants in the Bay Area. Power plants, oil refineries, automobiles and other fossil-fuel powered appliances produce emissions such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. The increasing levels of air pollution in the Bay Area negatively affect everyone, especially those with respiratory diseases and asthma and also children. Air Quality in San Francisco has greatly increased in the last fifteen years thanks to Clean Air legislation and pressures on industry by government and nonprofit agencies. However, San Francisco and the Bay Area's air quality still does not meet the federal health standards for certain pollutants like nitrogen oxides. There are numerous sources of poor air quality in San Francisco including: NITROGEN OXIDES from: power plants, industry and transportation processes
