To assure that certification applications are processed as quickly and efficiently as possible, please submit all future, new applications and application number requests to aircleaners@arb.ca.gov. For each submittal, you will receive an acknowledgement email within 1-2 working days. You may also submit any general questions about the regulation to that email address. Specific questions regarding your applications for devices that must meet the UL 867 standard may still be directed to Michael Gabor at mgabor@arb.ca.gov or (916)323-2190, or Victor Mendiola at Victor.Mendiola@arb.ca.gov. Questions regarding applications for mechanical air cleaners that meet the UL 507 standard may be directed to Stephanie Parent at sparent@arb.ca.gov or (916)324-0551. Finally, as a reminder, the most current version of our application form and information regarding the requirements of our air cleaner regulation and steps needed to comply are available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/aircleaners/manufacturers.htm.

The regulation requires that air cleaners manufactured, distributed, or sold in California meet an ozone emission limit of 0.05 ppm and be certified by ARB. The ARB news release regarding this enforcement action is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/newsrel/newsrelease.php?id=640. ARB’s webpage on the air cleaner regulation is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/aircleaners/aircleaners.htm. In addition, ARB has updated its guidance document for the public entitled, “Air Cleaning Devices for the Home: Frequently Asked Questions,” which is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/acdsumm.pdf. The document provides information on filtration, the different types of air cleaners, and how to select an appropriate air cleaner for one’s needs. Questions regarding ARB’s indoor air cleaner regulation can be directed to Michael Gabor at (916) 445-0753 or by email at mgabor@arb.ca.gov.

It is available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/cooking/cooking_range_hoods.htm. Cooking and cooking appliances can emit many chemicals, a number of which have known health effects. A properly-installed, efficient range hood is an effective way to remove air pollutants generated from cooking and reduce exposures to any potentially harmful pollutants that are produced. Please visit our webpage “Cooking and Range Hoods” for more information, including other tips and resources for reducing exposures to cooking emissions. If you have any questions about this webpage, please contact Qunfang (Zoe) Zhang at Qunfang.Zhang@arb.ca.gov or call (916) 445-0753.

Hugo Destaillats, Ph.D., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley Tuesday, November 4, 2014 1:00 pm, PST (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California A wide variety of portable standalone air purifiers are sold for residential and commercial use. This presentation will describe a study of air cleaners relying on emerging technologies that include photocatalytic oxidation, plasma generation and microbial thermal inactivation. Poorly engineered devices may negatively impact indoor air quality (IAQ) through emissions of ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter and/or reactive oxygen species (ROS).
