Presenting today at the @CIBSE School Design Group webinar on IAQ in classrooms.

I'll be sharing insights from pre- and post-COVID IAQ measurements with @NAQTS, and exploring future design challenges for healthier and more sustainable schools.

Time flies... 7 years ago today I was in Belgium working on a student citizen science project to measure air pollution indoors and outdoors at 13 schools.

Here's a picture from the demo session, where I showed the students how the @NAQTS V2000 air quality monitor works!

I was delighted to contribute to this @NPL report covering future trends in air quality measurement. The report outlines 7 main themes: Pollutants, Technology, Health, Data and Modelling, Wider Impacts, Biosphere, and Indoor Air Quality.

It was great to talk with @IAQjones on the Air Quality Matters Podcast about the multifaceted nature of environmental justice, and how it relates to indoor air (ine)quality.

Today is an exciting day… it is my first day as a Lecturer in Indoor Air at the University of Leeds!

I will be keeping my role as CEO of @NAQTS, and I am looking forward to finding new ways to continue my work on indoor air quality and environmental justice.

New paper (w/ @profgpw & @pjyng) now published in @EphemeraJournal!

We combine school indoor air quality (IAQ) data & social theory to see how COVID-19 changed the meaning of IAQ, before looking at potential future air inequalities.

It's less than one week until #CleanAirNight, which is all about wood burning🪵🔥

A few years ago I helped @hwallop to measure the ultrafine particles indoor air pollution generated by woodburning stoves

@cleanairdayuk @globalactplan

[Patrick Lee @PatrickjaLee]

The latest figures from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) show that wood-burning in the home accounts for 27.3 per cent of total particulate matter.

@WeAreTorus @NHSCandM @LancsDHR @TorusFoundation @StHWellbeing @FirstPersonCIC @HcharityR @warringtonnews @warringtonworld @LivEchonews @sthelensstar Great to work together on this indoor air quality collaboration: we analysed the data collected using @airthings devices!

[Torus @WeAreTorus]

An Indoor Air Quality project, funded by @NHSCandM and evaluated by @LancsDHR, found that @NAQTS #IndoorAirQuality monitors empowered Torus tenants, recruited by @TorusFoundation #HealthyNeighbours, to make small changes that improved their air quality.
