In Philadelphia 30 Years Ago, an Eruption of Illness and Fear
by LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN, The New York Times
American Legionnaires returning from a state convention in Philadelphia began to fall ill with mysterious symptoms: pneumonia and fevers topping 107 degrees.
By early August, news organizations across the country were reporting that 6 to 14 of the men in Pennsylvania had died. Others were in hospitals fighting for their lives.

Danger In The Air
by Jillian Ruffino
People tend to think of dangerous air as something found outside. They close car windows to avoid inhaling exhaust and invest in expensive purifiers to rid the air of outdoor allergens that have somehow made their way inside. Few would imagine that the materials used to build their offices and manufacture the everyday products in their work environments could be health hazards. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is something that the average person rarely thinks about—until something goes terribly wrong.
