following were responses from Mr. Ron Schiller, IAQ Coordinator,

He is actually an honest, candid man with an Agricultural Biology Degree
from Cal Poly. It should be noted that the funeral industry has
much, much tighter rules to prevent gouging the consumer when handicapped
with grief. These include, but are not limited to: Names, addresses,
and phone numbers of national consumer groups with success dealing
with the industry; a 15 page "plan ahead" guide, complete
with questions for funeral directors; a glossary of terms; and a
toll free consumer complaint line! See http://www.ftc.gov, and search
for `funeral rules'. Mr. Schiller did not know of any real changes
planned for the future of the program he represents.

Probably the only source of IAQ standards for the home come from the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development are very limited and only apply
to manufactured housing purchased by the Federal government. ASHRAE has only a few
while the American Institute of Architects has never promulgated IEQ
standards nor member training, nor even guidelines for residential dwellings'
performance. Architects guarantee large commercial buildings for only one year even
though they may have a design life of 400 years!

Our procedures were identified in a major national study on
the effectiveness of 62 different techniques in ten categories for
effectiveness to 305 folks with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS)
Techniques we apply are 100% congruent with the only two
methods that provided `major or enormous help', and
address elements of 4 of the top 7 treatments, which are far
and away much better than all the rest.
