Overview
|
| Scientists, practitioners, and California decision makers will examine the
risk posed by indoor pollution and discuss actions needed to address this major environmental problem. Indoor pollution
poses a high risk relative to other environmental problems, due primarily to the many sources of pollutants indoors.
Pollutants found in homes, schools, and public buildings can be as diverse as toxic chemicals emitted from building
materials and furnishings, combustion pollutants like carbon monoxide and toxic particles, and biological contaminants
such as mold and bacteria. Children may be especially at risk due to their increased susceptibility to
some pollutants. |
| Session topics will cover all aspects of indoor air quality, including children’s
indoor pollutant exposures; indoor pollution in residences and schools; costs of indoor pollution and benefits
of prevention; and effective indoor pollution prevention techniques. Representatives from government, industry,
education, and environmental health organizations will participate on panels to discuss actions that can and
should be taken in California to reduce indoor pollution and risk. Audience participation will be encouraged through
extended question and answer periods. |
| We are pleased to have former Assemblywoman Sally Tanner, sponsor of the
first California legislation to address indoor pollution as well as other major environmental health issues, join
us as a featured luncheon speaker. |
