Bill 118 hr 10273, also known as the Indoor Residential Mold Study Act, directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the health effects of indoor residential mold growth in covered military housing. The study will be conducted in consultation with the heads of certain agencies and organizations.
The purpose of the study is to better understand the impact of mold growth on the health of military personnel and their families living in military housing. Mold growth in indoor residential spaces has been linked to a variety of health issues, including respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma.
The study will examine the prevalence of mold growth in covered military housing, the potential health effects on residents, and any existing policies or practices in place to address mold remediation. The goal is to identify any gaps in current protocols and make recommendations for improving the health and safety of military families living in these environments.
Overall, the Indoor Residential Mold Study Act aims to ensure that military personnel and their families are living in safe and healthy environments by addressing the potential risks associated with indoor mold growth in military housing.
