Research on indoor air has never been more prominent, and scientists have been finding out a lot more about how common activities can have a negative impact on air quality. Cleaning methods and food preparation can contribute a lot of pollution to our breathing spaces unless we know a little about how our indoor atmosphere works.
Join leading indoor air quality researchers in discussing what we now know about indoor air quality and what we should be doing about it. During the one-hour discussion each researcher will discuss what led them to their field of study, and what implications their research has for people at work and at home. This will be followed by a question and answer session about what current indoor air standards are good for and what they could be missing.
Topics will include:
How chemicals and fragrances form particle pollution.
How outdoor pollution interacts with indoor pollution.
The impact of cooking activities on air quality.
What the current green building standards like LEED are good for.
What is missing from current green building standards and how they could improve.
