sheet on these active hotlines. A similar comment was made
concerning the reference service. Several speakers expressed
the hope that the founders of the clearinghouse would make use
of established data bases, i.e. LBL's "Concentration of Indoor
Pollutants Data Base." There was a strong feeling that the
clearinghouse's mechanics of distribution will have to take
into account already established third party distribution
systems.
Concurrent Panels: Solving Current Problems
Techniques for Measurement and Mitigation
Following the discussion of the clearinghouse, the
conference broke up into three panels -- radon, combustion
by-products, and other contaminants -- to discuss techniques
for the measurement and mitigation of indoor air pollution.
I attended the combustion by-products panel which
was moderated by Ronald White, American Lung Association.
Panel members included Jan Stolwijk, Sandra Eberle, and Irwin
Billick.
Jan Stolwijk, Yale, presented an update on ETS
developments. Stolwijk commented that ETS is ubiquitous.
Seventy percent of occupied space has ETS and the remaining
30% has low levels of ETS. ETS particulates have a strong
mutagenic action. Stolwijk commented that EPA rates ETS as
the strongest mutagenic agent. The soon to be.released
National Academy of Sciences assessment of health effects will
conclude that ETS has a carcinogenic effect.
T10738-1939
Stolwijk noted that progress has been made in the
area of characterizing exposure to ETS. Passive samplers for
nicotine which can be worn have proven effective. Nicotine is
a reasonable measurement of exposure. There has also been
progress concerning biological markers for ETS exposure. The
presence of cotinine in urine has proven to be a good
validator of exposure over an averaging period of 20 hours.
Nicotine in urine has not been as effective a marker.
Sandra Eberle, CPSC, reported on CPSC's study of
kerosene heaters. Eberle commented that CPSC would love to
get involved with the ETS issue, but Congress has precluded
CPSC's involvement. As would be expected, Irwin Billick, Gas
Research Institute, discussed emissions from gas appliances.
CONCLUSION
The conference was successful in stimulating
discussion between the diverse groups concerned about and
involved with indoor air pollution. Many of the concerns and
recommendations voiced in the first CFA conference on IAQ were
reiterated at this conference -- the need for a mechanism for
exchanging and disseminating information, the need for
practical applications of research, and the need for better
information on health effects.
