Florida Indoor Air Quality Program
This program was established to reduce exposure to indoor air contaminants including mold and mildew. Through this program, Sarasota County has a full-time environmental health specialist who provides advice and expertise about how to manage indoor air problems in residences, schools, health care, and public facilities. Our highest priority is given to helping solve health problems when a physician suspects that indoor air quality may be a contributing factor.
