Description:
The goal of Region 10's Indoor Air Program is to decrease health effects caused by poor indoor air quality (IAQ) by improving both knowledge of IAQ and actual indoor environmental conditions. Comparative risk studies performed by EPA and its Science Advisory Board have ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health. Indoor air pollutants can both cause asthma and make existing asthma worse, among other health problems. Children may be especially vulnerable to these health effects. EPA estimates that indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. These levels are of particular concern because it is estimated that most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors. Funds are available for these grants under Section 103 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
