The IAQ Scientific Findings Resource Bank

discover science

The IAQ Scientific Findings Resource Bank summarizes the state of scientific knowledge about the relationships between people’s health and productivity, and IAQ conditions or associated building characteristics. This website also allows downloading of published journal articles that were developed under the project.

Developed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with funding support from EPA, the IAQ Scientific Findings Resource Bank is a resource for public health professionals, building professionals, and others who seek scientific information about the effects of IAQ on people’s health or work performance.
