EPA Tools for Schools Action Kit

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tools for Schools Action Kit (TfS) shows schools how to carry out a practical plan to improve indoor air problems at little or no cost using straight-forward activities and in-house staff. The Action Kit provides best practices, industry guidelines, sample policies, and a sample indoor air quality management plan.

Most components of the Action Kit are available as downloadable PDF files. For more information about how to download the files or to place an order free of charge, visit their website.
