The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has established a website with information on their implementation of Assembly Bill 1173 (Keeley, Statutes of 2002), regarding indoor air pollution. The legislation requires
CARB, in consultation with other health and environmental agencies, to
prepare a report on indoor air pollution. The web page currently
includes a summary of AB 1173 requirements, a link to the bill text,
and a tentative schedule for developing the report and receiving public
input.
