Question

In about 150 words, what are the four implications substandard housing poses for community life?

Answer 1

Substandard housing such as poor ventilation, a dirty environment, water leak, and pest infestations can lead to an increase in molds, mites, and other allergens associated with poor health that contribute to health problems such as chronic disease and injuries and even death due to accidents and poisoning.

Substandard housing such as poor indoor air quality, lead paints, and other hazards often coexists in-home placing people, especially children at greater risk of multiple health problems such as effects on the brain and nervous systems development.
