Using ISO-ISOPHOT, we carried out a survey of almost 150 stars to search fo
r evidence of emission from dust orbiting young main-sequence stars, both i
n clusters and isolated systems. Over half of the detections are new exampl
es of dusty stellar systems and demonstrate that such dust can be detected
around numerous stars older than a few times 10(6) yr. Fluxes at 60 and eit
her 90 or 100 mum for the new excess sources together with improved fluxes
for a number of IRAS-identified sources are presented. Analysis of the exce
ss luminosity relative to the stellar photosphere shows a systematic declin
e of this excess with stellar age consistent with a power-law index of -2.
