Indoor Air Quality – Overview | Occupational Safety and Health Administration
“OSHA’s mission is to assure America’s workers have safe and healthful working conditions free from unlawful retaliation. OSHA carries out its mission by setting and enforcing standards; enforcing anti-retaliation provisions of the OSH Act and other federal whistleblower laws; providing and supporting training, outreach, education, and assistance; and ensuring state OSHA programs are at least as effective as federal OSHA, furthering a national system of worker safety and health protections.”
As part of this mission, OSHA addresses Indoor Air Quality as it affects work environments and schools. Their website contains helpful resources “to give workers and employers useful, up-to-date information to identify, correct, and prevent IAQ problems.”
