The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers a nicely designed site on indoor air quality at http://www.epa.gov/iaq. The site includes basic information on improving air quality in homes and schools.

For EPA's exhaustive database of the health effects of a slew of chemicals, see http://www.epa.gov/iris.

http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/iaq.html links to publications on indoor pollution produced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Topics include lead, carbon monoxide, and asbestos.

Need the name of a specialist who can check for or remove lead paint in your home? See http://www.leadlisting.org.
