Inquiry
IEQc4.1 Ruling 6/21/04 states "Materials which have the potential to communicate their emissions to the indoor air include all indoor surfaces in contact with the indoor air including flooring; walls; ceilings; interior furnishings; suspended ceiling systems and the materials above those suspended ceilings; all ventilation system components in communication with the ventilation supply or return air; and all materials inside of wall cavities, ceiling cavities, floor cavities, or horizontal or vertical chases." What criteria is used to evaluate materials not covered under SCAQMD Rule 1168 for adhesives, sealants, and primers; or Green Seal Standard GS-11 for paints and coatings?
