We are past the COVID 19 pandemic but it has led to a new focus on indoor environments and provided new research evidence about what different types of toxicants, allergens and irritants are present that should be considered when making recommendations for specific interventions that lead to improved indoor environmental conditions. This presentation will provide an overview of some of the latest research in the field of health and indoor environmental science as well as discuss other research that is still important to our understanding of indoor environments. The presentation will discuss several different indoor environmental health risks and provide an opportunity for discussion of practical approaches for managing them.
