Indoor air quality is a growing concern among consumers, who are demanding healthy, low-emitting products and materials in their homes, workplaces, schools and hospitals. Many states are responding to these concerns by implementing guidelines and regulations that address the issue, however the standards may differ from one region to the next making it challenging to identify the best resources or direction. The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) offers a stringent worldwide standard that provides a reliable baseline, making individual regulations obsolete. Be proactive and submit your products to become GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified^®. The ongoing tests provide a window into the chemical compositions of the finished products and suppliers' materials. Encouraging suppliers to pursue GREENGUARD Certification helps assure consistency in the quality, design, development, and distribution of environmentally preferred products.(copied from www.greenguard.org)
