Healthier Schools: A Review of State Policies for Improving Indoor Air Quality

This report focuses on indoor air quality (IAQ), a key component of a healthy school environment. Indoor air quality has been ranked near the top of environmental risks in a number of government studies. See, e.g., EPA Science Advisory Board, "Reducing Risk: Setting Priorities and Strategies for Environmental Protection" (1990), available at http://www.epa.gov/opperspd/history7/reduce/toc.htm (last visited Jan. 8, 2002).
