Abstracts on indoor air pollution

The presentation abstracts from the Indoor Air Pollution Working
Group meeting in Copenhagen, November 2001, are now accessible
on-line.

All abstracts are directly accessible from the IAP Homepage as
normal web pages (HTML format). Furthermore, this year the
contributions are also collated in a PDF document, which is ready
for download and print-out.
