'''EPA Indoor Air Quality Program''' (IAQ Program) is an Environmental Protection Agency initiative led by the Office of Radiation and Indoor Air (ORIA) that provides resources, research, and outreach to improve indoor air quality across the United States, impacting millions by addressing pollutants like radon—the second leading cause of lung cancer—and mold in homes, schools, and offices as of 2025. | |||
Established in 1986, it supports voluntary programs like Indoor AirPlus, coordinates the Federal Interagency Committee on Indoor Air Quality (CIAQ), and has influenced over 100,000 homes through partnerships and guidelines like ASHRAE 44 for wildfire smoke protection, operating without regulatory enforcement but fostering public health through education and technical assistance. | |||
