Indoor Air Quality and Ice Arenas

All recreational facilities including ice arenas should use good ventilation practices especially when children are present. It is critical that indoor air quality is protected particularly when using fuel-burning equipment such as ice resurfacers indoors. Over the past five years, new EPA standards took effect for emissions from ice resurfacers. New machines that meet the most stringent EPA standards reduce hydrocarbon emissions by about 71 percent, nitrous oxide emissions by about 80 percent, and carbon monoxide emissions by about 57 percent.
More information on non-road engine emission standards, which cover this equipment, is available in EPA's Regulatory Announcement: Emission Standards for New Nonroad Engines (PDF) (7 pp., 412 K, about PDF) EPA 420-F-02-037, September 2002. See also www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/nonroad/
