M1:5 Environmental Health Home Assessment

  • In the home assessment, why did we want to know about athe age of your home?
    • I think you wanted to know about the age of the house because of lead paint
  • Why would we want to know if someone lives in the basement? 
    • I honestly have no idea. homes in SF do not have a basement that I know of. I have family in Cincinnati, OH and they all have a basement so I feel like I know what a basement is. maybe for carbon dioxide poisoning? 
  • Who is responsible for home-based environmental health risks?
    • I am guessing when I say that homeowners/landlords are responsible for home based environmental health risks

  1. Hey Rudi,
    It's interesting to see that you answered in the Environmental Health and Safety Assessment Tool that you have lead pipes! That's very dangerous for your health! I also was wondering what kind of health risks living in a basement leads to as well as who is responsible for home-based environmental health risks (whether it is more landlords/homeowners or more about the city/town).

  2. I'm happy to see that you have shelter and place supplies in your home! I am not surprised since I remember you did a campaign on having a go bag! As you noted, we agree that landlords and homeowners are responsible for home-based environmental risks. Also I agree with Matt- I am confused about your lead pipes.
