This act would create a task force to advise the Dept. Of Health on standards

for:

3. protocols for remediation

* Met with insurance and remediation experts about areas of concern to them

*appeared on WABC-TV Long Island Viewpoints in an effort to educate the

public about the potential harm

* Participated in a panel discussion with envrionmental consultants, lawyers,

laimants and insurance companies

address the issue
