Soon I will focus on a crucial topic for our industry: How Global Open Air Quality Standards Help Accelerate Decarbonization.
IAQ & energy efficiency are often seen as competing goals, but I'll be sharing insights on how synergistic strategies improve building health & drive down carbon emissions.

I successfully completed the 3-day Communicating Science for Policy online training with the National Science Policy Network! The program gave me valuable skills and insights to take meaningful action in the field of indoor air quality and policy, which is particularly useful for the GO AQS work.

When was the last time you measured your lung function with a spirometer? A spirometer is a medical device used to assess lung function, and it can be employed in studies related to air pollution to evaluate the impact of pollutants on respiratory health.

I am truly honored to have been invited by the Malawi Initiative for Clean Air Solutions #MIFCAS, hosted by Mzuzu University, to facilitate a session on Indoor Air Quality and Global Standards. I'm eager to contribute to the discussion on July 17, 2025, and share insights on this critical topic.

Myth or Banana? You've probably heard the whispers: are bananas actually radioactive?
I decided to investigate this fruity mystery using some tech – the Aranet Radiation Monitor. For the full lowdown on radioactivity & my honest review of the Aranet Radiation Monitor.

Dust is expected in Spain and France. Should the national air quality stations subtract concentrations of the dust from the records (it is a common practice)? How we protect the public?

Their reactivity allows them to modify the cells, leading to dysfunction and damage that can extend to the cilia. When they’re damaged, the cells and their attached cilia are less able to move debris out of the lungs, thereby increasing the risk of infection.

A new study led by researchers from the Immunology Frontier Research Center (IFReC) at the University of Osaka, Japan, has identified the mechanism by which air pollution damages the airways and, in the process, identified a treatment to potentially reverse it.

I found this map which visualizes the 20 most air-polluted cities in 2024, based on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) data.
In 2024, only 17% of cities worldwide met the World Health Organization’s annual PM2.5 guideline of less than 5 µg/m3
