##Section 3 Findings

1. Congress finds that lead Lead is a cumulative toxicant that affects multiple body systems and is particularly harmful to young children.
2. Lead in the body is distributed to the brain, liver, kidney and bones. It is stored in the teeth and bones, where it accumulates over time. Human exposure is usually assessed through the measurement of lead in blood.
3. Lead in bone is released into blood during pregnancy and becomes a source of exposure to the developing fetus.
4. There is no level of exposure to lead that is known to be without harmful effects.
5. Lead exposure is preventable.

(2) Congress finds that Children are extremely vulnerable to Polyvinyl Chloride.

1. It is very harmful as they are in the early stages of physical and mental development.
2. Exposure to such chemicals can have serious consequences.
3. Vinyl chloride, the chemical used to make PVC, is a human carcinogen.

(3) Congress finds that Arsenic Treated wood can be hazardous to human health because arsenic is classified as a known carcinogen.

1. Exposure to arsenic can cause cancer of the lung, bladder, skin, kidney, prostate, and nasal passage.
2. Arsenic exposure can also lead to nerve damage, dizziness, and numbness.
3. Arsenic has been linked to immune diseases, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and changes in hormone function.
4. Lung and bladder cancer are the two health effects most often related to exposure to CCA-treated wood.

(4) Congress finds that being around or breathing Halogenated Flame Retardants can cause endocrine disruption affecting neurodevelopment and reproductive systems.

(5) Congress finds that Asbestos has been classified as a known human carcinogen (a substance that causes cancer) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) (2, 3, 7, 8).

(6) Congress finds that exposure to cadmium can lead to a variety of adverse health effects including cancer.

1. Acute inhalation exposure (high levels over a short period of time) to cadmium can result in flu-like symptoms (chills, fever, and muscle pain) and can damage the lungs.
2. Chronic exposure (low level over an extended period of time) can result in kidney, bone and lung disease

(7) Congress finds that breathing Volatile Organic Compounds can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, can cause difficulty breathing and nausea, and can damage the central nervous system as well as other organs.

1. Some VOCs can cause cancer.
2. Not all VOCs have all these health effects, though many have several.

(8) Congress finds that silica has been classified as a human lung carcinogen, and can cause serious lung disease and lung cancer.

1. It only takes a very small amount of respirable silica dust to create a health hazard.
2. One of the dangerous effects of silica exposure is a disease called silicosis, which can be contracted after just a few months of high exposure. Silicosis occurs when silica dust enters the lungs and causes the formation of scar tissue, reducing the lungs’ ability to take in oxygen.
3. There is no cure for silicosis, and cases can be disabling or even fatal.

(9) Congress finds that there have been many tests on the health side effects of fiberglass by government agencies and private labs, with the only generally agreed upon fact being that fiberglass is an irritant, which becomes immediately apparent when handling the pink insulation common in houses.

Section 4 The Harzard Housing Material Program

1. The Department of Health and Human Services, the Environment Protection Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development shall, jointly, create a program in which property owners that can show proof of any material listed in Section 2 of this bill shall receive a grant to have the hazardous material removed.
2. This act shall extend to landowners, public buildings, multi family housing and places of work.

Section 5 Funding

1. The funding for this program shall be set at twenty-five billion dollars every fiscal budget.
2. The funding for this program cannot be used for any other purpose unless authorized by Congress.
3. The Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Health and Human Services shall have the authority to request additional funding by sending a request to Congress.
