As #NPHW winds down, we still have two more tips to share.

Our first tip from @RTI_Intl Research Environmental Scientist Nikki DeLuca highlights PFAS in household dust.

These “forever chemicals” can settle in dust and may be an exposure pathway for young children.

Today’s #NPHW tip: clean air.

Indoor air quality matters, especially for children. Ventilating your home and maintaining air filters can help keep indoor air cleaner.

💡 See @RTI_Intl scientist Andrew Kondash’s tip below.
