(4 RC) - This survey report of the indoor air quality of new California homes reveals that new single‐family detached homes in California are built relatively airtight with very low exterior air-flow, and can often exceed exposure guidelines for air contaminants with indoor sources, such as formaldehyde and some other volatile organic compounds. Mechanical ventilation systems are needed to provide a dependable, continuous supply of outdoor air to new homes, and reductions of various indoor formaldehyde sources are also needed. The following report details the methods of this study, discusses the outcomes, and summarizes the results with several recommendations for improved indoor ventilation.

(4 RC) - This pair of chapters from OSHA’s technical manual discusses the typical hazards and health effects of hospital employees as well as the risks of occupational exposure to hazardous drugs. It provides guidance on exposure prevention.
(4 RC) - This survey reports on the purchase and use of ozone-producing indoor air cleaners, the effects of which contribute to air-pollution which can cause many respiratory issues, particularly among the elderly. The information obtained is of immediate use for addressing the impact of air cleaners on Californians’ health and to guide future exposure and risk reduction approaches by the California Air Resources Board.
(3 RC) - This document offers guidance that helps dry-cleaning establishments reduce employee exposures to perchloroethylene. It discusses the health hazards of perc exposure, lists the current regulations concerning the handling of perc, and offers guidance for proper PPE, work practices, and training. Additional information including the recommended maintenance schedule for dry-cleaning machines and the international chemical safety card for tetrachloroethylene is listed in the appendices.
(1 RC) - This document presents the symptoms of asthma and the possible means of dealing with it in order to provide information for workers who have developed respiratory problems due to their work environment. The brief includes the most common causes of work-related asthma, typically exposure to a group of chemicals called isocyanates, as well as listing jobs in which exposure to such negative chemicals often occurs. Also included are resources and guides for clinics to aid both the patient and the doctor in handling the effects of chemical exposure.
(2 RC) - This document summarizes three OSHA standards related to funeral home maintenance. The standards presented are OSHA’s formaldehyde standard, its bloodborne pathogens standard, and its chemical hazard communication standard. The document offers guidance for compliance to the OSHA standards.
(1 RC) - This guide is intended to help people who work in office buildings learn about the factors that contribute to indoor air quality and comfort problems and the roles of building managers and occupants in maintaining a good indoor environment. This guide offers general guidelines for the cultivation of Indoor Air Quality. It discusses the importance of Indoor Air Quality, the factors that contribute to Indoor Air Quality, the management of pollutant sources, as well as the design, maintenance, and operation of building ventilation systems.
(1 RC) - This paper gives the reader access to NADCA's opinion concerning the use of chemicals, cleaners, sealants, and coatings inside airhandling systems. The paper defines certain products and then offers guidelines for their best use and application. Specific products duscussed include antimicrobial pesticides, sealants, resurfacing materials, and coil cleaning compounds as well as soaps, detergents, degreasers, and deodorizers.
(4 RC) - This guideline begins with an overview of the background information on quantitative meth remediation standards from across the United States. Next, it presents users with a possible sequence of remediation activities from securing a site to delivering a final report. The document then offers techniques for the cleaning of specific items and materials found within a former meth lab (e.g., walls, fl oors, appliances, electronics, fabrics, toys). Finally, this document provides detailed information on sampling techniques and methods. Additional information and resources are included in the appendices.
