What do we know about the particle composition in indoor environments?

AIR HUB

Join our 2.5 hour online workshop to discuss indoor particulate matter.

It is now well known that particulate matter is responsible for significant impacts on all organs of our body. However, this relationship has been largely drawn against outdoor measurements. Indoor air is responsible for a large part of our exposure, and many studies demonstrate high levels of particulate matter indoors but what do we currently understand about particles found indoors?When we measure particulate matter indoors what are we measuring? Are the constituents of these particles the same as outside? What proportion is biological? Are the particles ingressing from outside, or are they generated indoors? How does this vary between schools, homes, workplaces, health centres etc? This 2 and a half hour interactive workshop put on by the EPSRC funded Air Hub network will bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to explore what particulate matter (PM) indoors is, how it differs from outside, and identify future research directions in this rapidly evolving field.We will hear from academics exploring particles indoors from both a chemical and biological perspective. Talks will be interspersed with breakout groups for discussions. These discussions will also serve as an early forum for generating ideas that could be developed into funding proposals for Air Hub’s upcoming summer sandpit event. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKcJUiSZMFQ" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKcJUiSZMFQ" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">This builds on our previous workshop about the health impact of particulate matter indoors which can be viewed here. </a> Dial in details will be circulated to the registered attendees before the event via email.We look forward to welcoming you at this event,Air Hub teamAir Hub: Engineering Healthier Indoor Environments Air Hub is a newly EPSRC funded, 2-year micronetwork plus, considering PM2.5 indoors: what it is, how it affects us, and what we should do about it. The Network is led by Abigail Hathway (University of Sheffield) and supported by a multidisciplinary team of co-I’s at the University of Sheffield (Simon Johnston, Chantelle Wood), Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust (Heather Elphick), City St. George’s University of London (Sierra Clark), UCL (Gergo Baranyi), University of York (Sarah West) and the University of Liverpool (Jonathan Higham).Website: <a href="https://www.air-hub.org.uk/" title="https://www.air-hub.org.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.air-hub.org.uk</a>Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/airhub.bsky.social" title="https://bsky.app/profile/airhub.bsky.social" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://bsky.app/profile/airhub.bsky.social</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fair-hub-engineering-healthier-indoor-environments%2Fposts%2F%3FfeedView%3Dall" title="https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fair-hub-engineering-healthier-indoor-environments%2Fposts%2F%3FfeedView%3Dall" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/company/air-hub-engineering-healthier-indoor-environments/posts/?feedView=all</a>
