Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
In a reassuring style that offers food for thought and action without being alarmist, Dunford discusses the dozens of allergens that are everywhere (particularly indoors), health problems they can cause, where they are most prevalent, how to prevent them, and how to "cure" them. He provides in 16 readable chapters and seven appendixes a vast amount of information on the usual and unusual sources of allergens and offers good general instructions on alleviating a difficult problem. Recommended for small and large public library collections, and specialized allergy collections.

The author offers a fairly comprehensive overview of the hazards of the indoor home environment and how to combat them. He covers such menaces as mold, mildew, bacteria, dust, secondary smoke, plastics, building materials, pollen, radon, and household chemicals. However, despite the fact that this book was published fairly recently (this is a revised 2nd edition, copyright 1994), he fails to properly highlight some weapons that can be used to maintain a healthy indoor atmosphere, namely negative ions and ozone. He compounds this oversight by making inaccurate blanket statements regarding the technology that employs these weapons - negative ion generators. Regarding ion generators, he states on page 74 that, "it generates negatively charged ions which intercept particles and pull them back to a filter in the unit." Perhaps the generators he encountered work like that but the ones I've encountered emit low frequency radio waves (typically with a range of about 60 feet [radius}). These waves penetrate walls (provided they aren't metal walls) and reach every nook and cranny of a structure; creating ions away from the generating unit. He cites the ineffectiveness of the generators he's researched. I could understand how the units he's encountered would not be effective, but the boy is barking up the wrong tree and he was not exposed to the cutting edge technology of the radio wave units. The author also has a justified healthy (no pun intended) regard for the hazards posed by ozone in the environment. Unfortunately he fails to recognize that ozone (in small concentrations) is an ally in remedying many indoor air pollution problems. In fact the negative ion generators I've encountered also employ ozone generation as part of their indoor air quality restoration and maintenance arsenal. The newer models have sensors so that they can regulate their ozone output. When he writes about the more common and mundane aspects of indoor environment remediationhe appears to be dead on (someone correct me if I'm wrong). But in the end, the author's lack of knowledge, in the areas mentioned above, don't allow him to use the subtitle to this tome: "ACOMPLETE (my caps) Guide to Better Health Through Control of the Indoor Atmosphere"
