Air Resources Board (CARB) finalized its ban on ozone generators for occupied spaces on Sept. 18, 2008. The ban takes effect in Fall 2010. It does not affect units that only filter the air. CARB was required to adopt the regulations by 12-31-08 pursuant to Assembly Bill 2276 enacted in 2006.

They are ecstatic about the Indoor Air Quality report of the National Institute for Building Research. Several of us who work with chemically sensitive people got the U.S. Access Board to fund this report.

In this regard, we are especially indebted to Mary Lamielle, Susan Molloy, Dr. Ann McCampbell, and Toni Temple. The Access Board sets the standards for accommodation of people with disabilities. Builders are particularly interested in the sections starting on p. 86 dealing with building products.

I recommend that you tell builders interested in green building in your area about this report.
