ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

In 1988, EPA started to periodically compile and publish a list of the indoor air quality activities currently being undertaken
by Federal agencies. This publication is the 1995 update of that list.

Title IV of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 requires EPA to establish a committee
comprised of the Federal agencies concerned with various aspects of indoor air quality (IAQ) and to coordinate Federal
IAQ activities. The Interagency Committee on Indoor Air Quality (CIAQ) functions as the primary Federal coordination
mechanism for indoor air.

Through the  CIAQ, each Federal agency is asked to supply an update of its present and ongoing research, policy, and
program development activities in the field of indoor air quality. The responses to that request make up the content of this
publication. The primary purpose of compiling this information is to provide individuals in the Federal community with a
useful tool for coordinating their activities at the project level.  This publication has proven to be useful to many individuals
and organizations outside the Federal government as well.

For each agency, the major indoor air activities are identified, along with a brief description of the activity, its current status
and/or projected completion date, the agency/office responsible, and a contact name and phone number. In addition, this
update of the list also includes  a section listing the indoor  air related publications for the  public that  are available from
Federal agencies.

The information  for this chart  was compiled by the  Indoor Air Division, Office of Air and  Radiation (6607-J), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.


PLEASE NOTE:

THE  INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS  PUBLICATION WAS  CURRENT  AS OF JUNE  1995.   HOWEVER, ALL
INFORMATION SHOULD  BE CONSIDERED SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.   FOR THE MOST CURRENT
INFORMATION, INDIVIDUALS LISTED FOR EACH PROJECT SHOULD BE CONTACTED DIRECTLY.
