Overview

Key Messages

• Prevention is the key here -
• Identfiy pollutants generated from construction processes and possible pollutant pathways before renovation
• Use these assessments to develop IAQ Plan to prevent impacts
• During and after renovation is when the most IAQ complaints are generated
• MA laq requires an IAQ plan in contract specifications for vendors doing revnovation while occupied
• Toxics reduction in contraction materials used during renovation will help meet these requirements
