Emerging Science on Indoor Chemistry - A Virtual Information-Gathering Workshop
The Committee on Emerging Science on Indoor Chemistry has been tasked with reviewing the state-of-the-science on chemicals in indoor air. This information-gathering workshop will focus on understanding the emerging science on indoor air chemistry and will explore emerging sensor technologies and modeling exposures to chemicals in indoor air. Leaders in the field will also share their views on cross-cutting issues, such as the connection between indoor chemistry and human health and housing-related disparities that lead to indoor air exposures. A final session will delve into the current research needs and data gaps. Please join us for a series of presentations, panel discussions, and audience engagement to explore emerging information on the science on indoor air chemistry and its implications.
If you would like to attend this workshop, please use the link above register. You will have the opportunity to provide input when registering??all input will be placed into a Public Access File, which is required by FACA-15.
The link to access this workshop will be sent to the email used to register. A recording of the workshop will be sent to everyone who registers for this event.

?’ ?• Deborah Bennett, UC Davis
?’ ?• Paul Wennberg, Caltech
?’ ?• Nicola Carslaw, University of York (tentative)
Potential Discussion Questions:
?’ ?• What are the near-term opportunities for incorporating what is known into practice?
?’ ?• Where will additional chemistry research be most critical for understanding the chemical
composition of indoor air and adverse exposures?
?’ ?• Which components of indoor air matter, and what is their cumulative effect on a number of
metrics from safety and comfort (current definition) to health and productivity?
?’ ?• What are the opportunities for advancing such research by addressing methodological or
technological barriers or enhancing coordination or collaboration?
