In Belgium, professionals inspect homes

In Belgium, indoor air quality testing services, alerted by doctors, visit the homes of families suffering from health problems. They take samples to identify the causes of the health issues and attempt to address them. The results of this initiative are mixed: following 80% of these interventions, patients saw their health problems improve. However, beyond this initiative, the only solution to escape the structural unsanitary conditions of a home remains moving.
