NIOSH/EPA BUILDING AIR QUALITY PUBLICATIONS
The publication "Building Air Quality - Action Plan" (NIOSH Pub 98-123/EPA Pub No. 402-K-98-001) is available on the web (and perhaps from the NIOSH Publications folks). The URL for the Web version is:
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/98-123a.html
EPA's pub of last year "An Office Building Occupant's Guide to Indoor Air Quality" is also on EPA's Web site at:
http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/occupgd.html
(or you can order them the old fashioned way (and pay for them) through the Supt of Documents)...

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FACT SHEETS
The State of New Jersey has put together a good review of industrial hygiene controls in a fact sheet format. Go to http://www.state.nj.us/health/eoh/survweb/odispubs.htm. The fact sheets are available in PDF (portable document format) under the heading "Controlling Chemical Exposure: Industrial Hygiene Fact Sheets". You can download the file and read it off-line with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have this Reader, it can be obtained (free) from the Adobe web site at http://www.adobe.com.
