Poor indoor air quality poses significant health risks. This study addresses the gap in knowledge regarding prevalence of pollutants remote and rural First Nation communities north-central British Columbia, Canada. Dust samples from 75 homes were collected analysed for house dust mites, pet allergens, mould antigens, bacterial endotoxins. Indoor parameters, including carbon monoxide, dioxide, particulate matter, temperature, humidity, measured. A detailed questionnaire on household...
