Season 2

Episode 2 – Breathing Better Air in our Homes

First Nations and Inuit children are disproportionately affected by respiratory infections such as viral bronchiolitis, pneumonia and tuberculosis. Causes for the high rates of infections include poverty, overcrowding, housing in need of major repairs and better ventilation, and increased exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Excellent research and programs are discussed on how to improve the air quality within the homes.
