In Fort Collins, 1 in 4 homes has a family member with respiratory ailment, and the EPA has ranked indoor air pollution among the top 5 environmental risks to public health, so the indoor air quality of your home is very important to us! The program is designed to: • Promote and enhance healthy, safe, and environmentally-sound household practices. • Increase the number of homes tested and mitigated for radon. • Create awareness to reduce asthma triggers. • Increase effective indoor air quality practices through community-level education and outreach programs. • Reduce toxic or harmful exposure in homes. • Heighten safety measures and awareness. • Increase participation in home energy audits
