Air and Indoor Environments

Indoor air pollutants, as well as other factors (noise, heat, etc.), can have harmful effects on health. Since we spend more than 80% of our time in indoor environments (homes, schools, stores, public transportation, etc.), it is essential to pay closer attention to the quality of these environments.

Our Mission

  • Collect data on the effects of indoor air pollution on human health and quantify its health impacts

  • Inform public authorities, healthcare professionals, and the general public about the health impacts of indoor air pollution

  • Promote the consideration of other environmental factors (noise, heat, etc.) to foster indoor environments conducive to good health
