answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2022 answer text <p>I am not aware of government research carried out to specifically measure the effects of hempcrete on indoor air pollution levels.</p><p>To comply with the Building Regulations, new buildings must meet minimum ventilation requirements. Statutory guidance for the Building Regulations ventilation requirements is given in Approved Document F. Approved Document F gives guidance on the maximum levels of indoor air pollutants in buildings. The regulations are technology neutral, and alternative approaches to meeting the requirement for adequate ventilation can be used so long as it can be demonstrated to the Building Control Body that the building meets all relevant parts of the regulations.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 13/07/2022 15:06:31 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones previous answer version 12345 answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

This process is carried out to consider what agencies and individuals could have done differently to prevent harm or death.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 18/12/2017 17:59:08 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones previous answer version 30447 answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
