The Council’s History

As indoor air quality concerns have increased in importance over the past several years, so has the need for better technical guidance, coordination and education. The Indoor Air Quality Task Force of the Maine Environmental Priorities Project recommended the establishment of this council as a mechanism by which this work would be conducted in the state. With the support of the American Lung Association of Maine and the Maine Department of Human Services, the Maine Indoor Air Quality Council was formed. It was incorporated in March 1998, and received not-for-profit 501(c)(3) status in December 1999.

Since its inception, the Council has worked closely with numerous public and private entities to provide education and technical resources.
