Indoor Air Quality

A Free 4-Part Webinar Series

In Collaboration With

Join us for the second instillation of our free 4-part webinar series on Indoor Air Quality in Homes in collaboration with Hayward Institute. The American Nurses Association’s Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation program will co-sponsor the webinar series, in addition to other nursing and health professional organizations.

Our second webinar will expand on the Introduction to Indoor Air Pollutants in Homes webinar where we learned how to identify common air pollutants present in the home. This time, we will equip nurses with practical actions they can implement at home to improve indoor air quality. Additionally, we will introduce an indoor air quality home assessment tool designed for use in patient’s homes. This tool is paricularly relevant for nursing specialties such as publich health, home health, case management and other roles where nurses commonly enter the patient’s living space.

1 hour of Nursing CE credit will be offered to participants who complete an evaluation and receive at least 80% on post-test for each webinar session (4 total CEs available).
