Poor environmental conditions and indoor contaminants are estimated to cost the U.S. economy tens of billions of dollars a year in exacerbation of illnesses like asthma, allergic symptoms, and subsequent lost productivity. Climate change has the potential to affect the indoor environment because conditions inside buildings are influenced by conditions outside them. Climate change, the indoor environment, and health addresses the impacts that climate change may have on the indoor environment and the resulting health effects. It finds that steps taken to mitigate climate change may cause or exacerbate harmful indoor environmental conditions. The book discusses the role the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should take in informing the public, health professionals, and those in the building industry about potential risks and what can be done to address them. The study also recommends that building codes account for climate change projections; that federal agencies join to develop or refine protocols and testing standards for evaluating emissions from materials, furnishings, and appliances used in buildings; and that building weatherization efforts include consideration of health effects. Climate change, the indoor environment, and health is written primarily for the EPA and other federal agencies, organizations, and researchers with interests in public health; the environment; building design, construction, and operation; and climate issues."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Environmentally induced diseases $z United States. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Health aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Indoor air pollution $x Health aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Air quality management $z United States. 610 10 $a United States. $b Environmental Protection Agency. 941 $a 4 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724070727.0 952 $l LVOX826 $d 20220318013902.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825092027.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20120127010540.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC1067FE48B411E1999E08A96AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
