Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products

ANNEX I

3. Hygiene, health and the environment The construction work must be designed and built in such a way that it will not be a threat to the hygiene or health of the occupants or neighbours, in particular as a result of any of the following: - the giving-off of toxic gas, - the presence of dangerous particles or gases in the air, - the emission of dangerous radiation, - pollution or poisoning of the water or soil, - faulty elimination of waste water, smoke, solid or liquid wastes,

- the Presence of damp in parts of the works or on surfaces within the works

Sampling strategies for indoor air (ISO 16000-5)

Aims of sampling: finding the causes of health problems determination of long term exposure, identification of emission sources, assessment of remediation. Parameters to consider: sampling time, sampling place, sampling duration,

choice of sorbents.
