Nation’s Largest-Ever Indoor Air Quality Experiment Coming to ‘UTest House’

The study has obvious implications for the indoor air quality research community, but its findings could also have implications for other fields, such as medicine.

Understanding the chemistry of the indoor environment

Sarah also interviews Jon Abbatt of the University of Toronto in Canada about indoor chemistry. What is going on in the air inside buildings—how different is it from the outside? Researchers are bringing together the tools of outdoor chemistry and building sciences to understand what is happening in the air and on surfaces inside—where some of us spend 90% of our time.

Will research be our happily ever after?

In 2013, the Sloan Foundation began funding preliminary research in indoor chemistry. Paula Olsiewski, a Ph.D. in chemistry and her “passion”, called on researchers Paul Ziemann of the University of Colorado Boulder, Barbara Turpin of University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Bill Nazaroff of University of California Berkeley, and Jonathan Abbatt of University of Toronto, to study how chemistry affects people, aerosols, surfaces and air, and moisture indoors.

Vance Earns $1.25 Million Sloan Foundation Air Quality Grant

Marina Vance, an assistant professor in Mechanical Engineering and core faculty of the Environmental Engineering program at the University of Colorado Boulder has been awarded a $1.25 million grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to study the chemistry of indoor environments, where people spend at least 90% of their time.

Bringing Chemistry HOME with $1.1 Million Sloan Foundation Grant

An unprecedented scientific inquiry into the chemistry of the indoor environment is being launched by Colorado State University researchers. Delphine Farmer, associate professor of chemistry, is co-leading a two-year, $1.1 million Sloan Foundation-backed project to examine various aspects of indoor air, surfaces and microbes in a typical U.S. home.

Every Breath You Take

A common misconception is that indoor air largely mirrors the outdoor air that surrounds it, because of the constant flow of air between the two environments. Not so, says Morrison: ‘Indoor air is very different in composition from the air outdoors.’
