Acknowledgments

The Surgeon General expresses his sincere appreciation to all who contributed time, experience, and knowledge to support the development of the Surgeon General's Workshop on Healthy Indoor Environment and this report. The Surgeon General would especially like to acknowledge the following:

The Engineer Professional Advisory Committee

The Engineer Professional Advisory Committee (EPAC) provides advice and consultation to the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) Chief Engineer, who in turn reports to the Surgeon General on matters relating to professional engineering issues. As part of its efforts to advance public health engineering and improve the health status of Americans, the various members of the Building and Design Subcommittee, EPAC, have worked diligently for several years to foster the development of this workshop. Their dedication to this initiative truly reflects the PHS Engineering Category motto of Machinatores Vitae (Engineering for Life).
