The quality of your indoor air

Environmental health matters come under the mission of the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS), in collaboration with the public health network and numerous stakeholders.

You will find on the website of the Ministère some information related to the inside environment of dwellings, which may contain various types of contaminants to which the occupants may be exposed, mainly through the respiratory tract, that is:

• molds
• carbon monoxide (CO)
• radon.

You will find in it:

• information that will help you pinpoint indoor air quality problems in your dwelling
• specialized resources in the field of health and housing
• tips for choosing the appropriate experts you need
• information to prevent or settle disputes between tenants and owners.
