Cleaner IN-Door Air! How Do We Get There Determine the number of personal care facilities with no or inadequate ventilation Define and list possible ventilation systems that facilities could use and where they can be purchased. Revise Administrative Rules and Regulations which states every facility is required to have some type of ventilation system before a facility license is issued. Establish fines for facilities that do not have adequate ventilation.

Clean Air For Cosmetologists! It’s A Simple Equation! Prolonged Exposure + Inadequate Ventilation = Increased Risk For Poor Health
