Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Tools for Schools (TFS) Network Training Request for Applications (RFA): One of the goals of the EPA Region 2 Indoor Air Program is to decrease adverse health effects caused by poor indoor air quality (IAQ) by improving both knowledge of IAQ and actual indoor environmental conditions. Comparative risk studies performed by EPA and its Science Advisory Board have ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health. Indoor air pollutants can cause or exacerbate asthma and other health problems. Children may be especially vulnerable to these health effects. Among many initiatives to address children's health issues and in particular recognition of the substantial amount of time which they spend in schools, EPA developed the EPA Tools for Schools (TFS) kit, an easy-to-use guidance package which allows schools officials to identify and resolve IAQ problems.
