Indoor Air Toxics
The Department of Health Indoor Air Toxics Program
was started in 1994. Its goal is to improve the health of Floridians
by reducing exposure to indoor air contaminants. The primary function
of this program is to provide advice and expertise to Floridians
with indoor air problems in residences, schools, health care and
public facilities. Our highest priority is given to helping solving
health problems when a physician suspects that indoor air quality
maybe a contributing factor. The program currently consists of a
statewide indoor air quality coordinator and an assistant in Tallahassee,
and 58 environmental specialists
working through 38 County Public Health Units to provide Indoor
Air Quality expertise to the public. Currently 29 counties are without
an indoor air quality resource other than that available from the
statewide coordinator in Tallahassee.
As of July 1st, 2003, the
Florida Clean Indoor Air Act (FCIAA) is no longer part of the
Radon and Indoor Air program, but part of the Bureau of Tobacco
Health and Awareness. The Florida Clean Indoor Air program is responsible
for the implementation and enforcement of workplace smoking regulations.
