Managing Indoor Air Quality in the USA. Proceedings of the InternationalSymposium on Clean Technology and Management for Indoor Air. Held in Seoul, Korea on November 11, 1999

摘要

The paper gives an overview of managing indoor air quality (IAQ) in the U.S. IAQis managed through various governmental regulations on products that might affect IAQ; isolated governmental regulations on specific pollutants; guidelines in voluntary consensus standards that are prepared largely by private-sector groups and that may influence building codes; self-regulation by product manufacturers who are concerned about the role their products have on IAQ and who want to prevent adverse marketplace forces; and public information documents prepared by both governmental bodies and public interest groups. Examples of each of these activities are presented.
