In 2010 the Belgian EU Presidency took stock of current legislation on air quality across Europe and made recommendations for further action at European level.
France is developing indicators to monitor indoor air quality and boasts a compulsory labelling system for building materials, while Germany is currently evaluating such products, the Belgian Presidency noted. Scandinavian countries, meanwhile, have opted for voluntary product labelling.
Belgium now wants all these initiatives pulled together into a standardised EU framework.Full color plastic card printing and manufacturing services.
"For a long time, all the focus has been on the quality of outdoor air,Not to be confused with RUBBER MATS available at your local hardware storeSave on hydraulic hose and fittings," said the Belgian minister in charge of the environment, Paul Magnette, pointing out that Europeans spend an average of 80% of their time indoors.
Moreover, the quality of indoor air is further reduced by better insulation in buildings and the use of certain products that are irritants or allergens, he said, calling on the European Commission to launch a public consultation (Green Paper) to explore policy options to address the issue.
For Belgium, one of the priorities is to reduce pollutant emissions at source ¨C in building materials, household products,From standard Cable Ties to advanced wire tires, soft furnishings, floor coverings, etc.
To achieve this, he said the EU needs to set criteria for defining what constitutes "good" indoor air and draw up a list of priority substances.
