 Indoor
Air Quality (IAQ)...
Most
people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage
their health but may not know that indoor air pollution
can also have significant effects. EPA studies of human
exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor air
levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times, and
occasionally, more than 100 times higher than outdoor
levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants are of
particular concern because it is estimated that most
people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors.

If
fiberglass insulation is so outdated and dangerous to
your health and is such a drain
on the environment, why do so many building contractors still
use it? Good
question. There really is no excuse for contractors to be using
outdated Insulation Technologies. Other than financial
considerations (greed) and a total disregard for your
health and energy bills. Of course, they aren't the
ones paying your utility bills. more... |

Victims
of Fiberglass - Five Years Later...
Five years after the
Victims of Fiberglass group helped place fiberglass on a
list of substances for priority action by the United
States Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA),
fiberglass lobbyists cut a deal with the federal
government. The agreement precludes formal regulations
in exchange for industry's acceptance of a weak exposure
standard and more or less voluntary compliance.
Exposure monitoring is the responsibility of producers
and end users. We provide a verbatim
copy of the press release. Like trusting the wolf to
watch the sheep is how we read it. |
