Maintaining homes

These include beeswax (find ones that aren t bleached or tinted with artificial colors), soy (made from soybean oil), bayberry, and tapioca wax candles. It s easy to find good ones online. Debra Lynn Dadd, the author of Home Safe Home, maintains a comprehensive list of candle companies on her Web site www.debraslist.com. 

Approximately 85% of American homes maintain an average inventory of three to four pesticide products (e.g., pest strips, bait boxes, bug bombs, flea collars, pesticide pet shampoos, aerosols, granules, liquids, dusts). In fact, nearly 70 million...

Occurrence. Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion and is not likely to result where a flame bums in an abundant air supply, yet may result when a flame touches a cooler surface than the ignition temperature of the gas. Gas or coal heaters in the home and gas space heaters in industry have been frequent sources of carbon monoxide poisoning when not provided with effective vents. Gas heaters, though properly adjusted when installed, may become hazardous sources of carbon monoxide if maintained improperly. Automobile exhaust gas is perhaps the most familiar source of carbon monoxide exposure. The manufacture and use of synthesis gas, calcium carbide manufacture, distillation of coal or wood, combustion operations, heat treatment of metals, fire fighting, mining, and cigarette smoking represent additional sources of carbon monoxide exposure (105—107).

If outdoor air can easily leak into and through homes, both comfort and energy-efficient performance will be difficult to maintain. Today, off-the-shelf technologies that contribute to airtight construction include a variety of house wraps, sealants, foams, and tapes. In energy-efficient homes, builders use these tools to seal the myriad of cracks... 

When pentamidine is prescribed for aerosol use at home, the nurse reviews the use of the special nebulizer, as well as directions for cleaning and maintaining the nebulizer equipment (see Home Care Checklist Administering Pentamidine at Home).

Following the peel the skin is carefully observed for any complications such as hyperpigmentation and infection. Results are maintained with serial peels and by using at-home tretinoin or glycolic acid, as well as by sun avoidance. 

Fish and submerged plants depend on the equilibria between O2 and CO2 in the atmosphere and dissolved in the water. Home aquariums use air bubblers to maintain equilibrium concentrations by replenishing these gases. 

After discharge, all infants were followed by a team composed of a pediatrician with subspecialty training in Child Development, a public health nurse, and a social worker. In order to maintain contact with the foster families and relatives who had responsibility for the care of the infant, team members made regular home visits and had frequent telephone contact with the infants caretakers. During the first 3 months of placement, infants were seen (an average of twice per month) for follow-up visits at home or in the UCLA Child Development Clinic. Phone conferences with caretakers were held on a biweekly basis. During the foil owing 3 months, clinic and home visits were tapered to once per month and phone contacts were made biweekly. 

In theory, the application of radon barriers should be adequate to avoid elevated radon levels in houses. In practice, however, a backup radon mitigation system has been found essential for maintaining indoor radon concentrations below 4 pCi/L in most homes studied. In the recent radon-resistant residential construction projects conducted by U.S. EPA and/or private builders, several of the homes designed to be radon resistant have contained radon concentrations above 4 pCi/L. In each of those houses, a backup system consisting of an active (fan-assisted), or passive (wind-and-stack-effect-assisted), SSD system was installed at the time of construction. When mechanical barriers failed to adequately control radon, the soil depressurization methods were made operational. 

Patients suffering from influenza should get adequate sleep and maintain a low level of activity. They should stay home from work and/or school in order to rest and prevent the spread of infection. Appropriate fluid intake should be maintained. Cough/throat lozenges, warm tea, or soup may help with symptom control (cough, sore throat).
