ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

This publication is the 1989 update of the list of Federal indoor air quality activities that was originally issued in March 1988.

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 (Cl AQ) functions as the primary Federal coordination mechanism.

Through the CIAQ, each Federal agency was asked to supply a list of its current 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 for 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 also includes a section listing the indoor air related publications for the public that are available from Federal agencies.
Due to inevitable changes in the status of many  of these activities, this publication will be updated  annually.

The information for this chart  was compiled by the Indoor Air Division (ANR-445),  Office  of Air  and Radiation, 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  MAY 1989.   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.
