Overview

The Federal Interagency Committee on Indoor Air Quality (CIAQ) was established by Congress in 1983. The mission of the CIAQ is to coordinate federal indoor air quality research while facilitating the exchange of information among:

• federal agencies
• state governments
• local governments
• the research community
• the private sector
• the general public

The CIAQ also supports EPA’s IAQ research program required by Section 403 of the 1986 Superfund Amendments and Re-authorization Act (SARA).

The CIAQ is co-chaired by:

• EPA
• The Consumer Product Safety Commission
• The Department of Energy
• The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• Other federal departments and agencies participate as members
