Time to turn over a new leaf.

I will be posting future Indoor air quality information at @poppendieck.bsky.socal.

I will keep this account open so past posts can be viewed. But do not intend to post new indoor air quality information.

And for the less jargon-y version, try this article in The Conversation: theconversation.com/wildfire-smoke…

Paul Francisco at National Academies IAQ Environmental Justice workshop: 'If we have indoor sensors, they need to lead to action (CO alarm = leave)... If there is no action associated, we don't need sensors... Rather we need to prevent sources from entering the space.'

What is the role of Environmental Justice and Indoor Air Chemistry?

A National Academies workshop next Tuesday and Wednesday:

Why Indoor Chemistry Matters Workshop 1: Environmental Justice Considerations and Impact of Products and Services of Indoor Chemistry (nationalacademies.org)

Bottom line:

What we are using indoors might be just as bad as our cars for outdoor air quality.

Now what does these large indoor sources that mean for our indoor air quality where we spend 90% of our time?

Setting up for a field campaign and tearing down from a field campaign are some of the funniest, intense days of research. Now doing BOTH on the same day... is... long.
