What Legislation regulates indoor air pollutants?
At this time, there are no regulations specifically targeting indoor air pollutants. In 1987, Health Canada released the “Residential Indoor Air Quality Guidelines”. Health Canada has not reviewed the levels set for certain pollutants since 1987. The guidelines also do not adequately assess the impact of pollutants on “at risk” populations such as children, the elderly or those who might already be suffering from other illnesses. These guidelines are not enforceable.
