Reduced indoor particle pollution is a significant piece of the healthy home equation.   In this session we'll survey the world of small particles:  source, size, health impacts and how indoor and outdoor levels are related. Taking credit for how air sealing sets the house up to better respond to air filtration can be a market distinguisher.  Empowering residents to recognize and respond to wildfire smoke or indoor cooking pollution is a game changer.   We’ll look at diagnostic equipment, report on a successful initiative (ROCIS.org) that demonstrates the power of in-home monitoring, feedback, remediation support and examine a related air sealing case study.  Connecting residents’  “aha” moments to better outcomes is a win-win-win.

Learning Objectives:

By attending this session, attendees will:
  • Explore sources and health impacts of small particles
  • Discuss options for reducing exposure and impact
  • Reflect on ways to highlight this benefit as part of the work you already do
