AB 1173 requires the Air Resources Board to prepare a comprehensive report on indoor air pollution, including information on the health effects and sources of indoor pollutants; the effects of existing regulations and industry practices; and possible mitigation options for homes, schools and non-industrial workplaces. We have established a web page for this project to inform interested parties on our plans and progress developing the report. You can access the web page at http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/ab1173/ab1173.htm. The web page currently includes a summary of AB1173 requirements, a link to the complete bill, a tentative schedule for developing the report and receiving public input, and access to the listserv. If you would like to receive notification of updates on the AB 1173 implementation by email, you may subscribe to our AB1173 listserv at http://www.arb.ca.gov/listserv/listserv.htm. Should you have problems with subscribing, please contact Susan Lum at ab1173@listserv.arb.ca.gov, or by phone at (916) 445-0753.
