In what commonly used materials can you find Volatile Organic
Chemicals (VOCs)? ......ANSWER........Insulation, paints, coating,
adhesives, furniture and furnishings, composite wood products,
and flooring materials
What 3 ways does the Materials Concept promote the
mitigation of environmental contamination and protection of
public health? ......ANSWER........The Materials Concept includes
guidelines for the safe management of some types of waste, the
application of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, the
,age 2 of 81
use of low hazard pesticides, along with signage, and notice of
application.
What two strategies does the WELL Materials concept advance
for selecting building materials and products?
......ANSWER........One is to increase literacy on materials by
promoting ingredient disclosure, whereas the second is to
promote the assessment and optimization of product composition
in order to minimize impacts to human and environmental health.
What is an ACM? ......ANSWER........Asbestos-Containing
Materials
In 2017, lead was responsible for how many estimated deaths?
......ANSWER........One million
In 2017, this chemical was responsible for an estimated one
million deaths? ......ANSWER........Lead
,age 3 of 81
Explain why the materials concept allows these 3 harmful
chemical to be used? Perfluorinated Alkyl Compounds (PFCs),
Orthophthalates, and Halogenated Flame Retardants (HFRs).
......ANSWER........Because of superior performance, the materials
concept promotes a precautionary approach to these chemicals,
favoring substitutions of certain materials where replacements
are available and do no pose sources of exposure for other
chemicals of unknown or increased toxicity.
Name the five (5) "legacy" chemicals that are now largely
restricted in manufacture and use. ......ANSWER........Lead,
Asbestos, Mercury, Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA), and
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
Which WELL concept requires projects to assess the presence of
chemicals and compounds and take measures to prevent human
, age 4 of 81
exposure along with restricting them in new products?
......ANSWER........Materials Concept
What are PCBs? ......ANSWER........Polychlorinated Byphenyls
What is the INTENT of the Materials Concept?
......ANSWER........To reduce human exposure, whether direct or
through environmental contamination, to chemicals that may
impact health during the construction, remodeling, furnishing, and
operation of buildings.
Building staff under direct employment by the project owner.
Note: if a project has no direct staff onsite (i.e., the building is
entirely operated by contracted building management staff), the
project is allowed to earn points by meeting feature require for
all or a defined subset of building management staff.
......ANSWER........Direct Staff
