Media/Public Service Announcements
EPA has developed a wide variety of media materials, including public service announcements (PSAs) and video news releases (VNRs). The media materials are available in television, radio, newspaper, and print formats for posting at bus stops or subways. If you are interested in developing a story about IAQ, we will provide information and materials to support your effort. EPA can also help media representatives identify top scientific and medical experts at the forefront of IAQ research that address environmental health issues, including IAQ.
