This bill was introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives on June, 26, 1990 to authorize a national program to reduce the threat to human health posed by exposure to contaminants in indoor air. Recent studies indicate that contaminants in indoor air include radon, asbestos, volatile organic chemicals (including formaldehyde and benzene), combustion by-products (including carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides), metals and gases (including lead, chlorine, and ozone), respirable particulates, tobacco smoke, and other contaminants. Other elements include indoor air quality research; management practices and ventilation standards; indoor air contaminant health advisories; national indoor air quality response strategy; federal building evaluation and remediation program; state and local indoor air quality programs; office of indoor air quality; council on indoor air quality; indoor air quality information clearinghouse; building assessment demonstration; state and federal authority; and authorizations for research and related activities.
