 New Web Content from EPA
EPA’s Indoor Environments Division is pleased to announce the development of a new webpage on the Indoor Microbiome.
The quality of air indoors is impacted by all the living things in it. All of the living microorganisms inside an indoor environment, and their by-products, are known collectively as an indoor microbiome. Research on indoor microbiomes has rapidly expanded, leading to many interesting findings.
On this page you’ll find answers to questions like:
As we continue to learn more about the indoor microbiome and how it can impact occupant health, this new resource gives an overview of our current understanding. The webpage provides links to EPA sponsored microbiome reports from the National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) and includes information on actions that can be taken to maintain a generally healthy indoor environment.
