Houses have always been one of the centerpieces of American life. Houses are the places where parents raise their children, where family reunions take place, and where people live, work, and play. Americans have always realized that healthy houses can lead to healthier lives. Many of the extraordinary improvements in health that were achieved in the 20th century resulted from improvements in the Nation's homes. Although poorly maintained homes increases the risk for injury and illness, unhealthy and unsafe housing continues to affect the health of millions of people of all income levels, geographic areas, and walks of life in the United States. The Call to Action describes the steps people can take now to protect themselves from disease, disability and injury that may result from health hazards in their houses. These steps have been scientifically proven to reduce health problems that cause or contribute to disease and injuries. And, improving literacy about healthy homes and teaching people about the steps they can take to change unhealthy and unsafe behaviors at home will lead to better health for all Americans. This Call to Action also outlines the next steps of a society-wide, comprehensive and coordinated approach to healthy homes that will result in the greatest possible public health impact and reduce disparities in the availability of healthy, safe, affordable, accessible, and environmentally friendly homes.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... insalubrious, unless well ventilated; and the case is rendered worse by the closed shutters of the windows, and by the thick curtains with which the beds are so carefully surrounded, as if to prevent the possibility of the air being renewed. The consequence is that the occupants are breathing vitiated air during the greater part of the night, or in other words, during one-half of their lives. "In such cases," says Sir James Clarke, "the atmosphere in the morning smells more like that of a charnel house, than an apartment for the repose of human beings." But insert a ventilator, like that described in page 65, beneath one of the windows at the bottom of the room, for the admission of fresh air; and one of Arnott, s improved ventilators in the chimney breast at the top of the room, for the extraction of the foul air; and then, instead of restlessness and languor, you will have sound and refreshing sleep, almost equal to the result obtainable by a change of air in a country excursion." Next to the regular admission of air, the furniture of a bed-room deserves some little attention. The free circulation of the air should never be impeded by large sofas, easy chairs, or heavy draperies, composed of absorbent materials, with which we see bed-rooms so often encumbered. Let us rather take the chamber of the illustrious Duke of Wellington as almost a model bed-room, and arrange our own somewhat in the following manner: --an iron bedstead, or one of wood, it matters but little so that it is of a simple form, placed nearly north and south, with the feet set in glass cups--the common thick glass salt-cellars answer the purpose exceedingly well--not nearer to any wall than from twelve to eighteen inches, and not in contact with...

She has channeled that approach into this book—on the surface, it’s a bunch of beautiful photos, but the health-focused content goes so much deeper.”—Kelli Lamb, Editor, Rue

Improved housing conditions can save lives, prevent disease, increase quality of life, reduce poverty, and help mitigate climate change. Housing is becoming increasingly important to health in light of urban growth, ageing populations and climate change. The WHO Housing and health guidelines bring together the most recent evidence to provide practical recommendations to reduce the health burden due to unsafe and substandard housing. Based on newly commissioned systematic reviews, the guidelines provide recommendations relevant to inadequate living space (crowding), low and high indoor temperatures, injury hazards in the home, and accessibility of housing for people with functional impairments. In addition, the guidelines identify and summarize existing WHO guidelines and recommendations related to housing, with respect to water quality, air quality, neighbourhood noise, asbestos, lead, tobacco smoke and radon. The guidelines take a comprehensive, intersectoral perspective on the issue of housing and health and highlight co-benefits of interventions addressing several risk factors at the same time. The WHO Housing and health guidelines aim at informing housing policies and regulations at the national, regional and local level and are further relevant in the daily activities of implementing actors who are directly involved in the construction, maintenance and demolition of housing in ways that influence human health and safety. The guidelines therefore emphasize the importance of collaboration between the health and other sectors and joint efforts across all government levels to promote healthy housing. The guidelines' implementation at country-level will in particular contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals on health (SDG 3) and sustainable cities (SDG 11). WHO will support Member States in adapting the guidelines to national contexts and priorities to ensure safe and healthy housing for all.
