5.0 out of 5 stars Authoritative review of asthma and indoor air issues, December 17, 2000

By	Jefferson H Dickey "jdickey4" (Turners Falls, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This is clearly the authoritative review of asthma and domestic indoor air quality. Not only does it present a (nearly) complete summary of indoor air issues and asthma, but it describes the degree of certainty with which it draws conclusions. While I might have been more interested in some acrylates and urethanes, etc, I think if you are interested in this issue you must read this source.
