Regulation of benzene

The results of a 1995 study finding higher than expected levels of benzene in Anchorage, Alaska homes has led to a grant for further research. The University of Washington and the Municipal Department of Health and Human Services have accepted the grant for a study the indoor air in Anchorage homes with attached garages. The study will involve air samples from 50 homes, in an effort to understand the way that air moves from attached garages into the living areas of houses.
