A workshop on indoor air quality management (IAQM) was held by the Com mission of European Communities (DG XII) in Lausanne on May 27-28, 1991, to determine the state of the art of the current knowledge concerning IAQM, the missing know-how and possible research areas. Twenty-six IAQ experts participated, and each expert presented a state of the art and future research needs on one of the following topics: sick building syndrome, IAQ measurement, IAQ and energy, sources and source control, ventilation, venti lation systems, and European activities and regulations. This paper presents a summary of the outcome of this workshop.
