The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has sent Congress an EPA INDOOR AIR QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, Including a separate Appendix called "Preliminary Indoor Air Pollution Information Assessment," which describes current knowledge of indoor air quality. In the Plan, EPA says how it intends to tackle the recently-recognized contamination of homes by hazardous chemicals oozing out of building materials and consumer products. The Plan is available free from: EPA Public Information Center, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC 20460; phone (202) 3822080. Be sure to request the separate Appendix.
