A new ASTM International standard will help measure how well wall-mounted kitchen range hoods capture indoor air pollutants. This could help organizations that rate the products and, in turn, consumers who buy them. “Cooking has been identified as a major source of indoor air pollutants in homes,” says ASTM International member Iain Walker, a scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #10434
