Dom Franks states that severe home health issues, such as chronic mold exposure, carbon monoxide, radon, lead paint, or severely polluted air, can have a detrimental health impact comparable to eating a very unhealthy diet. While rare, these acute issues can cause significant health problems.
“Things that would fall into that category are severe, really chronic mold exposure in a home.”
“There's also pieces around carbon monoxide issues, radon can be a big problem, lead in your paint, as well as other areas in the home, as well as severely polluted air, things like that.”
