The paper discusses a series of documents being developed by the U.S. EPA, summarizing available information on building materials and products brought into homes and office buildings as potential sources of indoor air pollution. The documents will provide a complete list of materials as potential indoor air pollution sources and, where data are available, each source's relative importance for further research, and basic information for architects, building contractors, and homeowners to use in making informed decisions about materials and their potential impact on indoor air quality. Little effort has been made to systematically identify potential indoor air pollution sources and summarize and evaluate existing relevant data. The EPA effort addresses that need.
