LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board, in evaluating the level of potential human exposure to toxic air contaminants, to assess that exposure in indoor environments, as well as in ambient air conditions. Existing law requires the state board to consult with the State Department of Public Health concerning what potential toxic air contaminants may be found in the indoor environment and on the best methodology for measuring exposure to these contaminants. Existing law also requires the state board, when the state board identifies toxic air pollutants that have been found in any indoor environment, to refer all available data on that exposure and the suspected source of the pollutant to specified state entities.
This bill would make nonsubstantives changes to those requirements.
