Why Indoor Chemistry Matters Workshop 1: Environmental Justice Considerations and Impact of Products and Services of Indoor Chemistry
This event aims to discuss the following topics:
Recommendation 13: Researchers and practitioners should include environmental justice communities in the wide range of indoor environments they study and engage these communities in formulating research priorities and recommendations for future indoor air quality standards.
Recommendation 14: Funding agencies should support interdisciplinary research to investigate the impact of products and services on indoor chemistry, especially under realistic conditions. There is also a need to determine how occupant access to air quality data leads to behavior that influences indoor chemistry.
Conclusion 1: Standardized consensus test methods could enable potential certification programs for air-cleaning products and services. Such test methods could help regulators determine whether action on these products and services is warranted.

How indoor chemistry is related to human exposure and health impacts.
How various communities are affected by indoor chemistry
One of the major goal of this workshop is to identify opportunities and mechanisms to include environmental justice considerations in funding priorities and research projects as outlined from the report Why Indoor Chemistry Matters
