In keeping with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) 2007 recommendations, it is desirable to identify and remove common allergens and modify the home or office to reduce the level of ubiquitous (common) allergens.
Indoor environmental screening of the home or work environment is important for individuals with allergies, chronic sinusitis, rhinitis, emphysema, asthma, a topic dermatitis, immune deficiencies, etc. Good indoor air quality is difficult to detect as you cannot see it. Bad smells alone are not the only indicator of poor air quality. Interior rooms collect not only exhaled carbon dioxide and moisture from people and objects, but also numerous toxic chemicals and biological pathogens. These can enter the body via nose, mouth, skin, mucous membranes and eyes resulting in headaches, allergies, infections or other illnesses.

by Lloyd Alter | treehugger.com ~ Business / Environmental Policy
Russ Bynum of Bloomberg Businessweek tries to explain why so many states are trying to ban LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
...The program is facing an outcry from a growing number of governors and legislatures who say LEED uses unfair standards that effectively keep their states' timber growers out of the booming green-building market.
The Sustainable Foresty Initiative says its wood is as green as that certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

by Kendall Downing - Reporter | WPSDlocal6.com
MOUNDS, Ill. - What started as a patch-up job is turning into a dangerous and expensive problem.
Administrators at Meridian Elementary and Junior High in Mounds, Illinois discovered a spot of mold on the wall of a classroom when paint peeled off a wall, at the end of May.
They called in architects to the school, who took multiple samples of the air and then the mold itself. School leaders received those results last week.
