Tampa Bay Hosts AIHA Environmental Lab Conference

Tampa, FL -- The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) hosted its annual conference for the highly acclaimed Laboratory Quality Assurance Program (LQAP) at the Channelside Marriott in Tampa, FL. This LQAP program has garnered international attention as it addresses identification of hazardous substances of the indoor environment. Consumer protection was one of the primary outcomes of this meeting. The LQAP achieves that goal by instituting and regulating a vigorous accreditation program (EMLAP) which ensures professional, accurate results for industrial hygienist and building sciences practitioners.

BURLINGTON, Vt. -- The president of the Burlington teachers' union is urging school administrators to address an indoor air-quality problem at the high school. Rebecca Smith said six teachers at Burlington High School have developed rashes in recent years that appear to be linked to air problems at the school. The school performed tests in 2004 and 2005 and determined that the building had no significant air-quality problem. In January, school officials said they would fumigate part of the school but later canceled the plan, saying they weren't sure what it would address.
