Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act of 2025

This bill would direct the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to run a national program to reduce people's exposure to indoor air contaminants. Within 5 years, the EPA would list indoor contaminants of concern, including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, formaldehyde, and radon, and publish voluntary health guidelines for them. The EPA could give grants and technical help to states, local and Tribal governments, schools, housing authorities, and others, with the federal share capped at 75 percent of costs. The EPA would also create voluntary healthy building certifications, recommend model building code provisions, and conduct a national assessment of indoor air quality in schools and childcare facilities within 3 years. The bill authorizes $100 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, plus $1 million for a National Academy of Sciences study on an indoor air quality index.
