The below guides are from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and summarize and simplify the public health science into simple recommendations with links to peer-reviewed journal articles for building science geeks to dig into the research and technical details.
This first one focuses on your home and what you can do. I can quibble about a few points but good advice we should take to heart. I especially like the context of – ‘we spend one third or our lives in our bedroom’ and the environmental quality in that room can significantly impact our health and well being.
“The average person spends 65 percent of their entire life inside their home. Your home is your health. It’s that simple. Homes for Health is a project borne out of hearing the question – ‘How do I Make My Home a Healthy Home?’ “
Second guide focuses on nine different areas.
Third guide focuses on schools.
