Indoor Air Quality Research
Introduction We focus on improving techniques to measure and model emissions of indoor chemical contaminants present in a variety of structures (schools, office buildings and residences), and investigate a variety of approaches to ameliorate mold problems in residences and office buildings. Our research focuses on improving techniques to measure and model emissions of indoor chemical contaminants present in a variety of structures (schools, office buildings and residences):
We Investigate a variety of approaches to ameliorate mold problems in residences and office buildings:
Also our research supports the Agency’s Homeland Security program by investigating all aspects associated with how to decontaminate buildings where chemical or biological warfare agents have been dispersed.

The objective of EPA research program is to conduct leading edge research and foster the sound use of science and technology to fulfill EPA’s mission to protect human health and safeguard the natural environment. The long-term goal of the Indoor Environment Research program is to provide risk assessors, EPA program office clients, EPA regions, and other stakeholders with the scientific foundation for making sound decisions regarding indoor environment risk management by identifying and characterizing sources of indoor air pollution, and evaluate risk management options to improve indoor environment quality and to develop environmentally sustainable approaches for the built environment. We meet the following EPA Goals: Goal 4: Healthy Communities and Ecosystems
