It is unusual for the authors of a book to warn prospective readers of their book, but my colleague Rick Diamond and I feel we must let potential readers know that this book, which lists us as authors, is a reprint of a report we did for the Electric Power Research Institute in 1984, and was republished last year without our knowledge. The publisher, University Press of the Pacific, states that they look for reports in the public domain that address timely subjects and offer them for sale to the public. While the information in the book is a useful summary of residential indoor air quality, it only covers the field up to 1984-a serious drawback for anyone looking for current information. So we suggest that unless you are interested in the historical aspects of this subject, you should consult more recent books.

This is a State of the Art book.

Unfortunately it is the State of the Art of 20 years ago because it is a republication of a public domain document from 1984. One does not get that idea from the publicaton date, however.

I heartily recommend it for the historians looking to see what the current thinking was during the first Reagan administration. Others may want something more current.
