Living and breathing health - Is it time for clean indoor standards and a revolution on air pollution?
Perspectives & Insights
SESSION RECORDING
When one thinks about air pollution, they typically focus on the spread of ash from wildfires or smog masking urban areas, without understanding the threat indoor air pollution plays, as well. This session made a strong claim for indoor air pollution regulations, given how almost any environmental health threat of the same degree already has policy interventions in place. By combining scientific research with real life stories regarding impact, this session offered a crash-course on why we should constantly be aware of what is entering our lungs, even in the comfort of our own home.
