The report gives a complete classification of all materials used in the construction of, or brought inside, homes and office buildings. In the classification tables presented in the report, shaded entries are potential sources of indoor air emissions. The classification system is based on the U.S. Census of Manufacture's Standard Industrial Codes (SICs). A comprehensive list of all products found in buildings is presented which demonstrates that materials can be classified using a uniform methodology for systematic evaluation as potential indoor air pollution sources. Another document is planned which would include more complete information on the materials which are shown here as potential sources of indoor air emissions.
