As an organization committed to safeguarding human health and the environment-and in response to the growing asthma epidemic-the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) leads a national education and prevention program focusing on management of indoor environmental asthma triggers. EPA's Indoor Environments Division (IED) partners with businesses, non-profits, schools, and community organizations to educate the public about indoor air quality issues, including asthma.
