Key to creating a healthy indoor environment is avoiding toxics and irritants in the first place. This workshop will identify the common sources of indoor air quality problems, including chemicals and biological contaminants. Materials specification and design approaches to minimize the introduction of contaminants will be covered.

• Designing strategies for minimizing introduced toxics
• Materials selection for indoor health
  
• Avoiding biological contaminants
• Occupant behavior and indoor health
