What an excellent day at the UK Indoor Air: Research at the Science–Policy Interface conference: I am sad to miss the second day!
It is unthinkable to me that an event with this much focused UK research on indoor air quality (and momentum!) would exist without the Clean Air Programme.

Awaab's Law requires social housing associations to urgently address damp & mould that presents significant risk of harm to tenants. @douglasbooker.bsky.social (Civil Engineering) argues that it stops short of addressing other causes of poor indoor air quality.
