A national survey of health department activities in 1982 revealed that 32 states (63 per cent) had a program or person(s) responsible for evaluating exposures to one or more nonoccupational indoor air pollutants (NIAPs). Only four states (8 per cent) had existing or proposed NIAP exposure standards. Twenty-nine (57 per cent) of the states had a program to evaluate nonoccupational exposures to formaldehyde, but these varied widely. There is a need for coordinated, consistent approaches to defining and controlling emerging environmental public health problems such as indoor air pollution.
1982年一项针对卫生部门活动的全国性调查显示,32个州(63%)设有负责评估接触一种或多种非职业性室内空气污染物(NIAPs)情况的项目或人员。只有四个州(8%)有现行的或提议的NIAP接触标准。29个州(57%)设有评估非职业性甲醛接触情况的项目,但这些项目差异很大。需要采取协调一致的方法来界定和控制诸如室内空气污染这类新出现的环境公共卫生问题。
