Abstract: Indoor AirPlus is aimed at forming public-private
partnerships that help prevent various forms of indoor air pollution
and their associated health risks. This ICR covers information
collection activities under the EPA's newly revised Indoor AirPlus
program. Indoor AirPlus is a voluntary certification labeling program
that represents value-added marketability that home builders,
verification companies, and oversight organizations can use to
distinguish themselves from competition, while homeowners see a
healthier and safer home with improved indoor air quality (IAQ) by
requiring construction practices and product specifications that
minimize exposure to airborne pollutants and contaminants.
