EH/2/5 - Emissions to internal environments

Sector: Sustainability

Categories: Workplace atmospheres | Road vehicles. General | Air quality. Other | Air quality. General | Ambient atmospheres

Overview: Under the direction of EH/2, is responsible for the preparation of British Standards in the field of air quality in internal environments including emissions from products and their impact on air quality. It is also responsible for the UK input to ISO/TC 146/SC 6, CEN/TC 264 and CEN/PC 421 and their working groups with respect to indoor air.
