This review is from: Managing Indoor Air Quality, Third Edition (Hardcover)

I am a Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant and a board member of the American Indoor Air Quality Council. I have this book in my library.

It's a technical read. Probably not recommended for the average consumer. A must have for the professional. You might think you know everything in this book. You probably do. But the diagrams, charts and discussions on how to investigate building related health complaints make a great reference.
