Kirsch, L S

This article examines the problem of indoor air pollution and policy options it presents. It discusses the individual pollutants, their known concentrations inside homes, the health problems they pose, and possible methods of controlling them. The potential for applying three currently existing federal statutes to the regulation of indoor air pollution is included. The discussion indicates the need for an expanded government role in the control of indoor air pollution, evaluates the possible strategies which Congress might consider, and presents a proposal for federal legislation.
