EPA Model Renovation Training Course
By US Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT). Many common renovation, remodeling, and painting (R&R) activities in homes with lead-based paint can create hazardous amounts of lead in dust and debris. In an effort to help control these hazards EPA has developed this course which provides simple strategies to reduce or eliminate the creation of hazards during R&R activities that disturb leaded paint. The course materials include an instructors manual, students manual, and accompanying video.

Indoor Air Quality Building Education and Assessment Model (I-BEAM)
By US Environmental Protection Agency. I-BEAM is computer software for use by building professionals and others interested in indoor air quality (IAQ) in commercial buildings. The software provides guidance for managing IAQ in commercial buildings using a combination of text, animation/visual aides, and interactive/calculation components. It can be used to conduct an IAQ audit, diagnose and resolve IAQ-related health problems, establish an IAQ management and maintenance program, calculate costs, and more.

Industrial Waste Air Model (IWAIR)
By US Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Solid Waste. Evaluates inhalation risk and estimates whether specific wastes and management practices may pose an unacceptable risk to human health.
download
Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic Model for Lead in Children (IEUBK)
By US Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. Attempts to predict blood-lead concentrations (PbBs) for children exposed to lead in their environment. The model allows the user to input relevant absorption parameters (e.g., the fraction of lead absorbed from water) as well as intake and exposure rates.

MCCEM (Multi-Chamber Concentration And Exposure Model)
By US Environmental Protection Agency. MCCEM estimates average and peak indoor air concentrations of chemicals released from products or materials in houses, apartments, townhouses, or other residences as well as inhalation exposures to these chemicals. The data libraries contained in MCCEM are limited to residential settings. However, the model can be used to assess other indoor environments (e.g. schools, offices) if the user can supply the necessary inputs.
