This page contains links to Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) publications intended to be useful to the general public. The publications are organized into several categories. Publications available on the OAR Website include annual reports, primarily of emissions trends but also including Great Waters reports; documents containing basic facts, including risk factors, “what you can do” information, and pollutant-specific information; and references, or more technical information, such as the Clean Air Act and other regulations. In addition, links are provided to publications available either on the Technology Transfer Network (TTN) Website or in print.

This list of publications is not intended to be a complete list of relevant publications. More detailed information on specific programs (Acid Rain, Climate Protection, Global Warming, Indoor Air, and Ozone Depletion) can be accessed through links at the top of this page.

For a complete list of sources of information for EPA publications, see the EPA National Library Network Program , which lists EPA libraries throughout the country and contains links to “Additional Sources of EPA Information,” including other publication centers.
