Text Only Español Introduction Building Principles ... Other Resources Green Building Principles Indoor Air Quality You can reduce the risk of indoor air pollution by avoiding construction and interior products that release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and by ensuring that interior spaces are adequately ventilated. Chemical Content of Products Because energy-efficient buildings are more airtight, they can increase the potential for lower indoor air quality caused by indoor pollutants. Many products can contribute to indoor pollution, such as furniture, cleaning products, carpets, adhesives, paint, finishes and other building products. Some appliances, such as gas ranges and wood-burning stoves, also can be potentially dangerous air pollutant sources. High concentrations of indoor air pollutants can cause illness. This is often referred to as "sick building syndrome." You can consult the Smart Communities Network page on Choosing Cleaner Consumer Products for more information and links to product listings and purchasing programs. Also see our website's section on

We've become an inside generation," said Dr. Barbara Townsend, operations director for Huber Heights City Schools. "And [studies have] found that there is a connection between health and indoor air quality." In 1995, EPA developed the voluntary Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools Kit and Program in response to government studies highlighting the deteriorating conditions of the nations' schools and the alarming rise in asthma cases, particularly among school-and preschool-age children. The kit contains methods and procedures on establishing building-level IAQ teams and maintaining healthy indoor air quality. About that same time, Huber Heights City Schools also became interested in the issue and became involved in the Tools for Schools program. Townsend and maintenance director Dave Manning organized an IAQ team at each school and conducted workshops to train staff on the program.

News Release Read More Stringent controls signed for industrial and agricultural diesels; sulfur in diesel fuel to be cut 99 percent [May 11, 2004] The Bush Administration announced EPA’s Clean Air Nonroad Diesel Rule, one of the most dramatic advancements in clean air protection since passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The rule, signed today, requires stringent pollution controls on diesel engines used in industries such as construction, agriculture and mining, and it will slash sulfur content of diesel fuel. In a related action, EPA announced its intent to propose new emission standards for diesel locomotives and marine diesel engines.

Air pollutants may cause respiratory diseases, cancer and other health effects. Pollutants also may create odors and smog, diminish the protective ozone layer, and contribute to other environmental problems, such as acid rain and global climate change. The air inside homes, schools, and other buildings also may contain pollutants that enter from outdoors and those generated indoors. Mold, radon, tobacco smoke, carbon monoxide, and chemical emissions from products and furnishings are some of the important pollutants that may be present in our homes and other indoor environments. Finding solutions to these and other air pollution problems isn't always easy, and requires agencies, environmental organizations, industry, and the public to work together.

Information Provided by NASA Study shows common plants help reduce indoor air pollution.... C ommon indoor plants may provide a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air pollution. Those plants in your office or home are not only decorative, but NASA scientists are finding them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and cleaning the air inside modern buildings. NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA) have announced the findings of a 2-year study that suggest a sophisticated pollution-absorbing device: the common indoor plant may provide a natural way of helping combat " SICK BUILDING SYNDROME ". Research into the use of biological processes as a means of solving environmental problems, both on Earth and in space habitats, has been carried out for many years by Dr. Bill Wolverton, formerly a senior research scientist at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center, Bay St. Louis, Miss. Based on preliminary evaluations of the use of common indoor plants for indoor air purification and revitalization, ALCA joined NASA to fund a study using about a dozen popular varieties of ornamental plants to determine their effectiveness in removing several key pollutants associated with indoor air pollution. NASA research on indoor plants has found that living plants are so efficient at absorbing contaminants in the air that some will be launched into space as part of the biological life support system aboard future orbiting space stations.
