Open List of further questions to ask #101

Open shapironick opened 9 years ago

Questions about companion species health. Animals are often sentinels of exposure and get sick sooner and at lower levels. The leading animal sentinel scientific database doens't have anything on formaldehyde http://canarydatabase.org/ (we should also ask how much money they have spent on their animal's indoor air quality related sickness because people will often spend more on their animals than on themselves)

How much money are people spending on health? Can we have a question where we take all of the symptoms that they have selected and they can fill in approximately how much they spend on each symptom per year. (i've been reading regulations on formaldehyde exposure and they ONLY look at cancer and eye irritation in terms of justifying the costs of regulations vs its benefits--being able to demonstrate the costs of harm will be a big help for advocacy)
