Indoor Air Quality Working Party

Children in the #UK spend almost all their time indoors. Infancy is spent mostly in the home. The #AirPollution they are exposed to indoors during childhood can have health impacts into adulthood. #YoungPeopleMatter #CleanAirDay Visit: theinsidestory.health/clean-air-day/

Just 2 weeks to our final online #Science4Policy forum focused on the #exposome and early life. 📅 Thursday 19th September 2024 09.30-11.00 BST 📢 We are delighted to announce a new speaker, Rachael Leslie, Director of Public Health @MyDoncaster. Register tinyurl.com/3xntsyky

Introducing our new YouTube series: Madness & Mental Health: London Lecture Series 2023-4. Our lecture 'Ethnic Inequalities in Experience of Mental Distress and Illness and Case' by Kam Bhui @KSBhui is now online. Watch via the link below buff.ly/3RHqgzL

We are hiring! We are looking for a research associate to work on a range for funded projects investigation ventilation are air quality. strathvacancies.engageats.co.uk/Vacancies/W/68…

"For the past two decades, scientists have called for national IAQ standards and laws to be established, but so far, little action has been taken. The approach to indoor air contrasts sharply with outdoor air, for which quality is regulated and monitored and compliance with regulations is enforced." science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to announce that I will be collaborating with @daniela_fecht and @BritGeoSurvey in this exciting new PhD opportunity at @ImperialSPH funded for 3 years via LISS DTP shorturl.at/bdFLM to examine the social and public health impacts of brownfield land redevelopment.

@GeorgeBouras @DrTELS Worth noting also @DefraGovUK issued 'appliance exemption’ is for fuel-burning appliances that emit smoke below acceptable limits for emission external to the building the appliance is in. They are not regulated for immediate indoor exposure. See: sheffield.ac.uk/news/indoor-wo….

@DrTELS I've been in two pubs in LBHF since seeing your thread about the pub, both with log burners on. I questioned both and was told they had a license, and one said they'd recently had a service. Is the license thing real? LBHF website doesn't mention it

- Domestic solid fuel burning is now the largest source of UK particulate pollution, overtaking traffic - Government monitoring networks are not designed for static suburban pollution sources - Citizen science is filling the gaps theguardian.com/environment/20… [1/4]

In @RCPCHtweets @RCPhysicians The Inside Story we recommended providing the public with advice & info about risks & prevention of poor indoor #airquality. Could authorities support direct cease request if monitors show ingress of unsafe levels into home? @DrJonathanGrigg @UKHSA

The @SAMHEproject is developing and testing a new method for collecting #IndoorAirQuality data in schools. A fun web app encourages pupils to input contextual data to enhance the analysis whilst learning & practicing skills. 👉buff.ly/3RSJumQ with @Cambridge_Uni @UKHSA

We will be measuring the burden and impact of indoor pollution in 300 @bibresearch homes as part of the @NERCscience funded INGENIOUS project, led by the wonderful @NicCarslaw. Watch this video to learn more: youtu.be/d1uaQtLIt7E

What a brilliant teaching resource and opportunity. Spread the word to those working or studying at a #school in the UK ▶️Get a free monitor ▶️View data on #airquality in your #classroom using the dedicated Web App ▶️Access #curriculum linked resources and example experiments

@theTCPA campaign calls for @GOVUK to adopt 11 Healthy Homes Principles & to establish a statutory duty on the Secretary of State, making it mandatory for all new homes to meet the Principles, whether converted through Permitted Development or otherwise. Needed for #retrofit too!
