Breathe The Difference

Indoor air quality affects every Delaware resident--at home and at work. That's why we have created a comprehensive program to help the people of our state better understand the causes of indoor air problems (the "Dirty Dozen"), as well as the many solutions that are available. 

On this website you will find a wide range of educational information, tips on improving indoor air quality, and opportunities to request additional details.

We hope you enjoy visiting our site. And we hope it helps you improve the quality of your air--and the quality of your life.
