Home » Feb. 9, 2004: IAQ In Schools, Public Buildings Rising As Top IAQ Issue
ATLANTA - Primarily fueled by worry over indoor mold growth, 2003 was one of most active years for indoor air quality (IAQ) state legislative initiatives, with mold reigning as the top IAQ issue. This year, however, attention seems to be focused more on IAQ in schools and in public buildings rather than on mold, according to a preview of the 2004 state legislative season provided by Aerias, an online resource for IAQ information and education.
In 2003, 27 state legislatures considered more than 60 pieces of IAQ-related legislation, with 18 becoming law. Some are predicting another active year in 2004. At this point, says Aerias, the upcoming state legislative season looks quieter, but then it is early with legislative activity just getting under way.
