While the appeal of profits and fear of lawyers are powerful emotions, doing the right thing to protect human health in all occupied buildings must take precedence.

Improving the temperature and humidity performance of a building passively can be accomplished by exposing structures with micropores to indoor air.

If we're truly going to manage indoor environments for occupant health, we need to extend our understanding and management of IAQ to encompass more than the number of microbes in the air.

The role of the indoor environment in shaping health is finally coming into focus.

The more stringent standards found in health care settings, where people are immunocompromised or more vulnerable because of age, need to be extended to other settings.

We need to be mindful of ozone and limit our indoor exposure to this excitable molecule.

The need to monitor and manage IAQ from the perspective of human health is imperative.

Recognizing the role of nature in airborne disease transmission is a major step in the path to comprehend the past and address the future.

Increased acute and chronic inflammation, oxidative stress on target organs, and worsening of underlying pulmonary and cardiovascular disease are some of the verified risks of suboptimal IAQ.

In the US, for every dollar spent on health care benefits, another 61 cents is spent on illness-related absences and reduced work output.
