(4 RC) - This survey report of the indoor air quality of new California homes reveals that new single‐family detached homes in California are built relatively airtight with very low exterior air-flow, and can often exceed exposure guidelines for air contaminants with indoor sources, such as formaldehyde and some other volatile organic compounds. Mechanical ventilation systems are needed to provide a dependable, continuous supply of outdoor air to new homes, and reductions of various indoor formaldehyde sources are also needed. The following report details the methods of this study, discusses the outcomes, and summarizes the results with several recommendations for improved indoor ventilation.

(4 RC) - This document is a report on a CPSC investigation prompted by consumer complaints of air quality problems due to Chinese drywall. The study assessed the environmental conditions in homes with “Chinese drywall” to determine if those conditions could contribute to the health symptoms and material degradation being reported by some residents.

(1 RC) - This informational document, provided by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), catalogs and answers frequently asked questions concerning the dry cleaning industry's effects on the environment. Most of the questions pertain to perc, the dominant chemical solvent used in dry cleaning, which is considered an environmental pollutant as well as a potential health hazard.
(4 RC) - This survey reports on the purchase and use of ozone-producing indoor air cleaners, the effects of which contribute to air-pollution which can cause many respiratory issues, particularly among the elderly. The information obtained is of immediate use for addressing the impact of air cleaners on Californians’ health and to guide future exposure and risk reduction approaches by the California Air Resources Board.
(2 RC) - In response to there being no laws in place to protect the citizens of NH from mold and poor indoor air quality, a group of New Hampshire Legislators, business leaders, and heath administrators wrote this standard for NH citizens as a guide for the NH Mold Industry. The goal of this Standard of Care is to provide information to the citizens of NH not only about the causes of indoor mold, the possible health risks, and prevention measures, but also about the Mold Industry in general, including best practices and tips for hiring consultants and contractors .
(3 RC) - Contaminated drywall imported from China has been found to emit sulfide vapors, impacting the air quality in tens of thousands of homes as well as in larger buildings. In this White Paper, AIHA summarizes the available science and identifies critical gaps in the current understanding of the problem that must be addressed. This report covers the means of recognizing the markers of corrosive dry wall (CDW) as well as the necessary information for remediation.
(1 RC) - This document presents the symptoms of asthma and the possible means of dealing with it in order to provide information for workers who have developed respiratory problems due to their work environment. The brief includes the most common causes of work-related asthma, typically exposure to a group of chemicals called isocyanates, as well as listing jobs in which exposure to such negative chemicals often occurs. Also included are resources and guides for clinics to aid both the patient and the doctor in handling the effects of chemical exposure.
(2 RC) - This document provides practical recommendations that will help prevent, minimize, or resolve IAQ problems in commercial and institutional buildings. It discusses a range of topics related to IAQ management, including the control of airborne pollutants, the introduction and distribution of adequate make-up air, and the maintenance of an acceptable temperature and relative humidity. This document is directed primarily at employers, building owners and managers, and others responsible for building maintenance, but may also be used as a basic reference for all those involved in IAQ issues.
(1 RC) - This document aims to inform the reader of the respiratory hazards of crystalline silica and to propose two new protective standards, one for general industry and maritime, and the other for construction. The fact sheet explains the routes of exposure and the negative effects of crystalline silica on respiratory health. The chief end of this document is to present the necessary means for employers to tailor their work environment protect their employees.
