About Dr. Jesse LaPrade
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I am a professional environmental educator at Auburn University. My specialty is indoor air quality, including radon awareness and mitigation of all structures. I am well versed in issues involving mold and mildew in homes and other structures, as well as volatile organic compounds (odors) in homes. I teach the general public about asthma triggers such as dust, dust mites and other particulate matter, as well as pollen and the interaction of genetic inheritance with this malady.

Experience

Past/Present clients
All Alabama citizens interested in Environmental Education, including Indoor Air Quality, Radon Education and how to fix associated problems. All of these programs are fully federally grant funded; therefore, this is a no-cost service to citizens.
