                  Characterization of Indoor Sources
                  of Air Contaminants:  Report on a
                  Technical  Conference

                    The characterization of indoor sources
                   of air contaminants has employed a
                   wide variety of test protocols and
                   sampling and analytical methods in both
                   laboratory and field studies. A technical
                   conference, "Characterization of Con-
                   taminant Emissions  from Indoor
                   Sources," was held in Chapel Hill, NC,
                   May 13-15, 1985, to assess the status
                   of methodological issues in the labora-
                   tory and field evaluation of air con-
                   taminants from indoor sources.
                    A total of 29 invited papers were
                   presented in five technical sessions
                   during the 3-day conference. A sixth
                   session was a panel discussion sum-
                   marizing the conference findings, led
                   by the conference  chairman and the
                   five session chairmen. The papers pre-
                   sented at the conference and the session
                   summaries, written by the session chair-
                   men, have  been published in  Atmo-
                   spheric Environment, Volume 21, No.
                   2, February 1987. This report contains
                   a description of the purpose of the con-
                   ference, a  conference  program,  ab-
                   stracts of the papers presented, a list of
                   attendees, and a conference review.
                    This Project Summary was developed
                   by EPA's Air and Energy Engineering
                   Research Laboratory, Research Triangle
                   Park, NC, to announce key findings of
                   the research protect that Is fully docu-
