The quality of housing (
la qualité du logement) 🏘️ available can have a significant effect on one's own quality of life. Different measurements of housing quality include, but are not limited to: air quality (
qualité de l'air), presence of mold (
présence de moisissure), safety (
sécurité), proximity to work (
proximité du travail) etc. Those living in poor-quality homes are at a greater risk for developing chronic disease (
maladie chronique) 🤒 and injuries (
blessures) 🤕, as well as poor mental health (
santé mentale) 😢.
