Toxins in the Home: Indoor Air Can Be Polluted Too

Talk of the Nation, December 14, 2007 · The Environmental Protection Agency

lead, radon, and tobacco smoke — than the air outdoors. Guests talk about

toxic dangers in common household products and in the very materials that make

up your house.

Guests:

engineering at the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at

Austin
