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 1993 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 (6203-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 MAY 1993. 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.
