Allergic diseases are surprisingly common, chronic health conditions. The primary location where the vast majority of people are exposed to allergens and other substances is in their home. This means it is important to understand home environments and how a home's systems function and interact. How we occupy our homes plays a crucial role in both environmental exposure and management of allergic disease. This seminar provides an overview of what is understood about home environmental exposure and the importance of identifying the relationships between identified sources of contaminants and the housing systems, and conditions that may be contributing to exposure.
