HD 2474 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to improve outdoor and indoor air quality for communities burdened by pollution

This bill amends state law to establish specific definitions for air pollutants and filtration systems, focusing on improving air quality for communities disproportionately affected by pollution. It creates legal terms for "black carbon," "environmental justice populations," and high-efficiency air filters like HEPA and MERV 16 systems to standardize how these issues are discussed and regulated. By clarifying these technical concepts within existing statutes, the legislation provides a clearer framework for future policies aimed at reducing harmful particulate matter in both indoor and outdoor environments.
