This House Resolution directs the Joint State Government Commission to establish an advisory committee tasked with conducting a comprehensive study on indoor air quality specifically for seniors and children in the Commonwealth. The resolution highlights the significant health risks associated with indoor air pollution, noting that contaminants can be two to five times more concentrated indoors than outdoors. It emphasizes the vulnerability of children and seniors to these pollutants, which can lead to serious health issues such as increased hospitalization, mortality, and various cardiovascular diseases.

The advisory committee is to be formed within a specified timeframe following the resolution's adoption and will consist of at least 15 members, including representatives from various state departments and non-governmental organizations. The committee's responsibilities include recommending indoor air quality standards, guiding public education efforts, advising on data collection and surveillance, and supporting prevention methods. A report detailing the committee's findings and recommendations is to be submitted to the House of Representatives within 18 months of the resolution's adoption.
